So I just received a hyper skip chain by mistake but before I send it back I want to find out a bit more about them and why people would use them as I would have thought they would not do a very good job but never having used one then I thought I would ask does anybody know how they came to be who thought I know let’s cut most of the cutters off my chain.As usual looking forward to what you all got to say about it ,Wrighting this while on the bloody phone to hmrc chasing my £660 self employed grant, I know bloody pisstake

As I understand it , the reasoning is , with long bars buried the full length the fewer cutters you have  the longer the tunnel in the kirf is . This allows the chip to be carried away and not jam up .  With more cutters there is more chip and less room to discharge it .  i don't do milling but this theory certainly stands up when felling with full skip or semi skip ( as opposed to hyper )  skip chains on long bars .
