Sthil non safety chain.

[High Scale]

No longer being made by Stihl I am told.

[Charlieh]

does this mean i will have to use safety chain in .404 on my 084?

[High Scale]

Nope, I should have made it clearer, Sthil chain for the Ms200t is now only available as that horrible safety stuff.

Pain in the proverbials. I had heard it was going to happen about 3 months back, but had just bought a load of oregon and thought no more of it.

Gutted.

Ithought that pico micro stuff was all you could get anyway. Have you guys all been using full chisel while i've been suffering the pico micro or have they invented something even safer (worse)?

[Tree Man Tom]

Im assuming they have stopped selling the pico micro, except for the saftey ones, with the ramps and stuff on the cutters to reduce kick back. Correct if im wrong?

[Paulthepunk]

I'm confused, I thought Picco Micro was safety chain, I've never used the chain with ramps between the teeth. What do they call that then??

 

My Stihl dealer still sells regular Picco Micro, brought some the other day. There probably only selling you rampy chain because your telling them its for a ms200t! Try saying its for a ms170/ms180, its the same size chain and you'll be able to get regular Picco Micro (no ramps!) if thats what you after?!

Paul all the Stihl Picco chain now come with the ramps but they now run in line with the rakers, have an other look and you'll see what I meen.

 

They now call it Picco Micro Comfort 3 (PMC3)

 

Hope this helps

Does that mean that you cannot do a boring cut with it?
