Hi miker

You say a 48" bar would need a skip chain. What do you mean by this? And why?

Cheers matt

Skip and semi skip have alternate or every other cutter missing from the chain ( I think semi is 2 cutters then a gap then 1 then a gap the 2 again and so on ) Its mostly for big long bars the full depth of cut . There being bigger gaps between cutter giving more room for the cut chip to be dragged along and out of the kirf without the tendency to clog and jam .

Some of that, but main reason is so the saw does not bog down when cutting. less cutters means less stress on the saw so it can maintain cutting even on long bars. Just takes longer as you have got less teeth

Yea all of that is why the saw does not bog down !

yep all the above, the yanks seem to favour skip chains,they run big bars on say a 372xp,less stress so less hp needed, 880,s and 3120,s are never going to be fast anyway, just keep chain in tip top condition spec on big bars and keep the cutters even, grandma and egg sucking etc,good luck with your big saw
