Tips for changing chain on WP36 processor

[Woodworks]

It lasts days by hand, weeks by grinder.

Never had issues hand sharpening with the chainsaws, machine seemed more fussy (or we were just putting some real crap through it).

 

 

Chains lasting days or even weeks?

I'd be interested to know what type/brand of bars and chains are folk here using on their WP36.

 

I've been using an Oregon Controlcut 15" bar with Oregon 21LPX 72 link full chisel.  Have also used the Oregon semi chisel (21BPX) and didn't notice much difference.

 

With at setup I can process clean hard or softwood all day with a hand sharpening at end of each day.  I find the chain lasts well. As previous mentioned, maintaining cutter length is key, they don't like uneven chains.
