Broken chain, common occurrence ?

In my experience oregon or husqvarna chains aren't the best to spin up. I find the rivets to be to long compared to stihl one's. I find the oregon/husq tie straps can shift whilst doing the first rivet and damage the strap. I always swap out for a new one in this case, and I spin halfway to try and stop it happening, then do the second and finish off the first. I tend to make in the region of 150 chains a week. Looking at the picture it's been slightly over spun, which can quite easily happen.

I think you need to rule out some of the other more straight forward reasons before thinking too much about the chain or joining rivet that is at fault. Prob something else caused this to fail.

I  have only 2 problems with chains while milling  the 2nd chain broke after hitting nails after nails. I'd lost about 8 or 10 cutters on this 25” chain before it finally let go..🤔 so I can’t blame th

Only ever broke one chain and that was almost maxing out a 60” bar in oak so I can not really complain. Brand new though.  It will mend.
