Can you ID this Stihl chain?

[Jeff LoNigro]

Hey guys... here’s a pic. I’d like to know grinding angles. I have a Tecomec Compact chain grinder. Also wheel size, too. It’s a 32” 105 DL 3/8 pitch. I can’t tell the gauge as the drive links caliper at about .047. It’s an old chain. The drive links are stamped “3.” I think it’s a 33rs 105.

See thumbnail

i have some of that in 0.58 gauge triple bumper safety chain

Negative on the 33rs. 33rs(rapid super) is 3/8 full chisel, full comp, non safety(yellow box) chain. I apologize, for beyond knowing the chain is not that. I have no clue what the stihl designation for that particular chain is.

33rs3 i think

 

[huskihl]

33rm3. I think
Itll cut bettering you file the gullet between the raker and cutter down to the strap

Welcome to the forum!!

In my humble opinion I'd move on from that loop and get something different.

The 3 means 1.3,
or .050 gauge

That stuff is as good as a vanguard chain, sure you like those .

Why is there a 32" safety chain? if you want a 32" bar you don't want a safety chain.

I make them cut just fine, same as the above chain, just takes a little more time is all .

On those shark fin chains a 4" grinder or a bench grinder works just fine to make them cut, the vangards I find do well with a little extra hook.

I get them from time to time to sharpen and knock the shark fin a hundred thousandth more than what I need the raker to be
So if it come back I’m not dikking with it

I cut them right off on chains I aquire and they cut fine, but what you are doing would be fine if sharpening for others.
Their not the worse chains, but as Wayne was saying if I had a choice it's not what I would choose either.
