Chisel and Semi/Micro Chisel

[YoGi_93]

Im going over my CS30/31 stuff. I remember that the performance difference in chisel and semi chisel cutters is that chisel chains cut more aggressively. Well I think that is right, im sure I will get corrected if its not. But what is the actual physical difference between the two cutters?

Semi chisel has a rounded working corner. Full chisel has a square corner. Very pointy. I've drawn blood many times with them while sharpening!

Full chisel dulls quicker, but is initially sharper

I AGREE:thumbup1:

not complaining,just making a statement!

dont buy any other chains now,full chisel cuts so well

I've found myself going off full chisel a bit. When on tonnage work, the lack of durability can be a pain. Additionally, if you have hit something nasty, it's harder to get the edge back.

Full chisel for me too, the only time I'd ever buy semi is for work on the railway, as there's lots more crap to hit!

Cheers guys answered all my questions in one there

basically it sounds like full chisel is better but only if you have the ability to control the aggression?

I used the term aggressive and was told not really more aggressive, just faster.

 

The reason I said aggressive was that's all the trainer had said all week.

 

Assessor enjoyed hearing faster rather than aggressive.
