.325 Stihl chain?

[Greg Newman]

I bought a few loops of 18” on Fee Bay awhile ago, haven’t bought any recently,

I looked on there for 20" nothing listed. Only thing I found with Google search is overseas.

You read my mind lol.

Do you know of any place to buy some at?

I need to think for a bit. Someone told me their dealer had it in stock a week ago. Just can’t remember who

Not only fast but durable. Like so durable that I haven’t got any loops with short cutters. Standard bars seem fine. As Kevin said, might be a different story as tooth gets shorter

It's kind of like arguing which mix oil and ratio is the best .Any chisel chain can be made fast ,depends on ones skill with a file .IMO Stihl RS series is the most robust but it's also the most expensive if price is a factor .The worst I've seen of any chain was a bunch of Baileys "house chain " I think made by Carlton .It was discounted to $10 a 20" loop and I bought 4 .That stuff wasn't worth a pinch of 'coon chit . The remainder of that junk is hanging on a nail in my garage religated to root cutters .

Several years ago I bought some loops from a guy named Anthony on that other site. Anyone recall who that might be?
He may have had a store front, but not sure.

Pic from Stihl's site. Neat- must be the -3 version

• .325˝ RSP chisel
• .325˝ RSP3 lower kickback chisel
• .325˝ RMP semi-chisel
• .325˝ RMP3 lower kickback semi-chisel

.325" RS PRO SAW CHAIN Suitable for a variety of demanding jobs, such as felling, limbing, clearing young trees and firewood cutting. For chainsaws in the power rating ≈ 2.2 – 3.0kW. For use only in combination with a guide bar with a groove width of 1.3mm. ORDER NUMBER 3690 000 00XX	Technical Data
Pitch Drive link thickness File size Sharpening angle Depth gauge .325" 1.3**mm/.050" 4.8mm 30° 0.65mm

I think what you want is 23RS Pro not RSP. I run RS Pro and it is very good chain IMO, they have taken material away from the rakers and opened up the gullet as well as possibly making the cutter taller. I think it is similar to 3/8 RSK but in .325.

Sort of dropped off the radar... Unusual because he was heavily invested in grinding equipment.

 

[Farmchuck]

Following closely. I’d like to find some of this chain for my 550xp.

 

[davidwyby]

I just got a loop spun from a dealer 2hrs from me. I need to make sure it’s NK, not reglar .325. Was $30

 

[Wilhelm]

Every chain becomes NK at 1/4 or more ground back!

 

[82f100swb]

I see your RSP, and raise you square RSP... Mostly because I was bored and playing with the grinder... LOL

Just spent $40 on a 78 drive link .325 stihl rs pro chain, $10.99 shipping. That was twice as expensive as a loop of 3/8 oregon EXL chain made up by the local saw shop.

Stupid money for these chains. Well see how it cuts against a well sharpened .325 lgx chain, that's also half the price.
