200t Oregon chain!

[Gerbutt]

Hey up

 

I got a new chain for my 200t the other day from a local shop. When I put it on that evening I thought the teeth look a little short but my old was was shot so had nothing to compare too. Turned up at work today and compared with mates, the teeth are barely half the length, looks like you'd only get a few sharpens out of them! Is this normal?

The difference is that you have been using VXL and the new chain you have is VX. The L being long top plate.

 

Tbh I didn't think anyone still sold the VX since as you say they are about half the size!

Ah right, ta for that. It's a rip off isn't it, same price but half the chain!

I use the newer full chisel that still do now .

[Gerbutt]

How much are they?

[Eddy_t]

Same price as any other chain for the 200t

The picco super chain is wonderful, run my 200t & 236 on it and the 338xpt had a new one on it

Is that what the full chisel one's called?

[Eddy_t]

Yeah, either picco super or add a 3 on the end for the safety version, doesn't make much difference unless you bore cut a lot tbf
