I'll have to have a look at rotatech. I pay 20 for my chains but that's if I buy them in a quantity of 6

I just looked at the rotatech chains and they seem fairly cheap ?? I've been busy cutting some oversized oak and ash mixed today trying to keep up with orders

Yeah, half the price of others roughly and the one I tried as a test has cut as much as I would expect from other brands so can't complain. Hopefully it wasn't a one off since I'm just buying another 10.

GDh is that unsharpened or do you mean total life of the chain ? Please update us how you get on with your new ones as if they seem reasonable il buy a couple for each of my sawd and my processor. Rob

Yes, I mean I've done 38 cube with a new chain before any sharpening, normally I would change around 30cube but there hasn't been much of a drop off in speed and I want to see how long it lasts.

 

I tend to sharpen heavily to get them good as new but I would expect to get 5-10 sharpens out of any chain depending what it hits.

 

It was 21tons of nice ash I cut by the way.

Yes, I think that's the main reason they're cheap. They're for sale on Northern arb supplies.
