What issues, did you have with 3/8ths ?

He had to be sharpened

A few of the teeth weren't even machined at the factory, just a square blunt block. When viewed from the top the tooth length was very uneven, which isn't a big deal with a used chain because the depth guages are already adjusted, but I had to set them on the new roll.
Also the tie strap corners intrude into the bottom or the side plate , that is pretty much a terrible design flaw if your sharpening the tooth past half way, because your file is gonna have to plow through that.

Supermarket brand chainsaw chain, made in China.
Will do for the pole saw or some crappy job where I don't want to trash my PS loops.

Different kind of cutters. After running through a couple nails yesterday, I got another lesson in setting and sharpening the teeth. Didn’t have to replace any which surprised me given the size of one of the nails we hit.

For a project saw.

I bought it from Dukes sawsalvage in Pennsylvania.
I've used their lp3/8ths for my little echo cs-330t and its been a pretty good chain that is suprisingly sharp out of the box.
Forrester brand has been decent in my opinion.
Has anyone tried their 3/8ths?

Good profile, ground?

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Good profile, ground?

I mean it performs well strait away, I really haven't measured the angles?
It is a very light chain I should say also.
I know that the raker depth was aggressive out of the box for the lp loop I have.

Spun in China!
Not really an issue, just ugly.
