Finally got a Husky...

Hopefully the picture below will help you understand the chain technology. The lower one is an Oregon 1.5mm semi chisel, the one above it is the 1.3mm semi chisel 95VPX.

 

If you look carefully you will notice that the width of the total chain is less and also the cutters are thinner, this basically means you are hacking out less width of wood (kerf), causing less friction and using less power to spin the chain - th edepth of cut with each cutter is about the same on each chain.

 

All this means that you can lean on the saw a bit more and it will cut faster and bog down less. On a really powerful saw, this narrow kerf chain really cuts fast.

 

On measured cuts, it is some 15% faster! The trade off is it will stretch more but on your saw will be fine:thumbup:

 

The sign of a sharp chain is the saw self feeding through wood with no use of the dogs or excessive force being needed!
