.325 .058 ripping chain

[stewmo]

Struggling to find ripping chain of this pitch other than the Granberg on chainsawbars.co.uk

 

Any links for me out there?

 

Cheers stew

You could file a standard chain to 10 degrees

Good idea. Buy your favourite semi-chisel chain, and file it at 10° top plate angle. Or even gradually reduce the angle from the standard (30° or thereabout) to 10° as you sharpen the chain. It is not really a big problem milling with a standard (non-ripping) chain.

Is it not quicker with ripping chain?

 

Thanks Stew

Ripping with a cross-cutting chain, is both slow going and hard going on the saw.

I'm using it on a 20'....that may be the longest?

That's what I thought.

 

Guess that its either the Granberg or file a standard chain to 10 degree....
