Duke's saw chain

[sundance]

Anyone tried Duke's bars yet? Will need a couple bars soon.

I need a bar for my Echo 4910 now but he doesn't seem to have the K216 mount it needs.

Pretty sure I've made k095 mount bars work on the 4910, I think the bar adjuster pin holes just needed to be enlarged.

I cut up a load of ash today with a ported 365 special. I took a new loop of the dukes 72DL 3/8" chain and dropped the rakers to .040" right away. The chain actually hauled through the ash like a champ for two tanks of fuel before I melted. It was still cutting great, so I will resume the test when I get back to the pile. The chain was way too grabby for cutting a soft maple tree that had also been dropped, but I got through it. This was probably the first time I felt impressed by how well a round ground chain held up cutting ash with low rakers.

Are you dropping the rakers to test the chain or is that the way you like them?

I can confirm this. Matter of fact, I did it yesterday.

I did it on purpose for cutting ash. I don’t like having to dog-in to get a chain to cut. Usually my “ash” chains start to slow down by the end of the 2nd tank.

So, the chains been out for a while. Reports on long term use? I bought some, haven't run it yet as laid up due to a hernia operation.

User reports welcome.

So far so good for me, but I’m not a big time cutter. I have one loop on the fourth sharpening and another that I square ground for the third sharpening. Seems to hold up for me more like Stihl RS than the Oregon or Holzfforma chain I also have.

Same. I’ve used it on desert dried live oak. Live oak is janka hardness 2600. Most oak is 1400.

Not many (basically none) complaints 'round here. Most guys really feel like they get their moneys worth and come back and buy more.

I could talk about how great it is, but our customer's behavior speaks louder than I can.

Live oak is hard enough, but add all that silica and debris in the wood.......UGH!!

Yeah live oak can go fugg itself

It's always fun when a chain is ripping through some wood, then switch to live oak, and it cuts at 3/4 the speed with smaller chips/curls.

I like the Duke's Chain. I bought a couple of 3 packs and liked it so much that I ended up buying a 100ft. roll. I cut a lot of firewood on a property that is full of rocks. I rock out a lot of chains. It cuts good and is very cheap!
