PowerSharp Chains

We have had some discussions on Oregon PowerSharp chain on other forums, and it was suggested that we start one here. PowerSharp chain is based on the idea of sharpening the chain using the power of the saw to move the cutters past a fixed grinding stone, rather than removing the chain and...

Noticeably larger cutter on Archer .404 chain , than Oregon.404 , both new chain, putting a square file on a couple,

Larger cutter may hold up longer but will rob noticeably more power from the PH!

I don't much like brand new chains, they take too much bite, make a wide kerf.
1/4th to 1/2 worn is kinda my sweetspot.
After that the chains tend to cut a mildly too narrow kerf, but in cut chain speed goes up signifficantly so that is a plus.

Ah, untamed oldschool big girl!
I am missing out on the over 90cc department, I bet they are a hoot to run.

Kudos for running that beast and hopefully treating her well.

I'd like to try .404" full chisel at some point, on a short bar , 20-24", my PS-9010's should handle it well.

Yea , give it a go ,

.404" is hard to source here!
I can't even get 3/8" full skip full chisel (nor semi chisel) for my 24" & 36" bars.

FFS, I can't get full chisel 3/8" LowProfile/Picco, Sondre sent me a couple loops for my tiny saws.

I haven't tried 404 on 22" P100 yet only because I got the upper handle in 3 parts

Oregon Vanguard!
Good chain, I like it.
Rakers are easily dealt with - I usually "normalize" them.

Is the Oregon 68 or the old 59?

Is the Oregon 68 or the old 59?

No. 68

 

[Maintenance Chief]

No. 68

I think the older 59 is bigger

Yea, was kinda surprised how bigger Archer was.

A lot of like new Vanguard loops in there, customers take-off chains?

Nice stash!

Enough of these chains for one day

So I was spinning some more chain for the 28" bar which says it takes a 91 link. But I don't like odd links because they have an odd number of cutters and end up with two consecutive cutters and odd spacing. So I made 92 links.

Below is a comparison between the Stihl 91 link (yellow) chain that came with the es light bar and an oregon made with 92..

Check the adjuster and there is a little left for stretch on the stud.

Consequently I found Stihl made a 92 link and says it's for the 91 link 28" bar I have. wtf..

8 pin rim sprocket, you'll need that extra drive link.
