No it's cutting nicely - you got the oiler turned up full?

 

Wonder if it's worth you having another bar to see if it makes a difference... up to you we could do you a deal on it - I've used the PMX chain with the 880 without a snapped chain but I prob don't do enough bulk work anymore to give a good judgement or not.

What would you recommend to prevent my chain snapping?
I mill on a Logosol M8, softwoods only. MS661 with this bar I bought from your good selvesIMG_1966.jpg.6107c51546023777e07418cf7755fc46.jpg
Using these Lo Pro’s from yourselves

After a couple of snapped chains I switched from 10% tilt to 0% but a total of 5 snapped chains in as many months (I repair them myself , the cutter having snapped)
Different bar or different chain??
Thanks


Get a decent chain grinder.
Re set all teeth and depth gauges.
Check your depth gauges with a straight edge and feeler gauge
Don't grind into the tie strap.
