Full chisel chain for 020.

I have always complained to my saw dealer that there should be a full chisel chain for my 020.

It the one saw where it would be great, as you seldom get steel, stone or soil up the tree, so it would keep its edge well.

Also I want my climbing saw to bight in not skid along the branch.

Any way I got a call today from my dealer telling me a full chisel chain is now available and he's got a roll in with me in mind (and 2 other guys who have been wanting the same as me)

I just hope its not got those stupid extra raker's on that make boring hard going. I've already swapped from Stihl chain to Oregon to get back to a normal raker.

I'm picking up a loop over the next few days and really looking forward to giving it a try

dave, keep us posted on how it performs

Sounds interesting keep us posted

Be interested to how you get on with it, as i share the same views as you. Luckily i stocked up on the old stihl chain before it was stopped, and replaced with the anti kick back stuff. I still have 5 chains which at this rate will last me a life time lol

Excelent, i have been meaning to research this and never got round to it, any idea what make of chain it is?

let us know how it performs.

sweeeeet, I want some too!!

Is that it !!!! You could have at least got the chain, tried it, and then posted, now im in suspense waiting for the next episode. Go bang on his door and threaten to kill his coy carp unless you get that chain now:thumbup:

so what is wrong with Oregon 91VXL 044E =12" or 050E = 14" ?

Fast cutting holds its edge well easy to sharpen, what has the full chisel got to offer ? and who is the manufacturer ?

Try Oregon 21,22 BPX chain in .325 or Oregon 73,75 DP chain on 3/8 and see just how much more you can cut before sharpening on your ground saws.

A full chisel chain cuts well out of the box and is great in softwoods, it will handle hardwood but dulls off faster and requires more maintenance of the working corner.
