Oregon chains ??

[Matthew Storrs]

I don't find Oregon chains bad at all, I've been doing 3 days solid coppicing and felling and I gave the chain a 3 stroke tickle at the end of each day but it hardly needed it really.

Why thankyou:biggrin: actually I was quite surprised myself given that the coppice was growing in amongst tumbled granite wall:001_rolleyes:

Yes I fully understand your point and I too use both, just wondered what people thought of them. Is the LPX the full chisel?

Yup full chisel. Certainly worth trying a chain or two.

Quick search I found you a bit of gumph to read. They make it in 3/8 to 73 and 75 iirc so don't panic just cos the gumph is about .325

I prefer the Oregon to the STIHL chain i can always get a much better edge. The best thing about STIHL chain is that it's pre streched so it doesn't nearly fall off the bar after 10 mins

Go old skool and slack them off at the end of the day it allows them to contract a little. The Oregon stretch is the reason i own a top saw multi tool:thumbup1:

I've run carlton on my own saws last few years, mainly due to price as on hedgelaying work you can go through a chain every 100m due to hiden wire/nails stones etc, never had any real trouble with oregon we use all oregon chains on the saws for the firm I sub too and seem to last pretty well considering we do alot of site clearance.

i use the 73lpx chain for 3/8 and 21lpx for 325,noticed on the 325 chain you tend to get a chrome cutter every now and again,bugger to sharpen until you break thru the chrome
