New Pro Chain from Stihl

[Wolverine]

I think I will experiment and try it with a used chain. See if I can replicate it. I'll let you know how it works when I get to it.

Just square it up, it's betterer that way.

LOL. Yes. But I need to see for myself if it can be replicated by hand filing. [emoji2957][emoji3061][emoji854]

I have not. Waiting for what I have to get dull. Finding out that’s kind of a slow process...

This profile will cut Good to and stay Sharp quite long

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Bjorn
How'd ya get there? What files? What process?

 

[Bjorn]

I use this and preferd smooth cut file 3/16.

 

[RI Chevy]

What chain is that you sharpened? I see EM on the side plate. 325 or 3/8?

 

[Bjorn]

Its a Husqvarna chain same as oregon LPX. Sorry I forgot to tell that I file the gullet out first then sharpen the tooth. Regards Bjorn

 

[RI Chevy]

Any dealers/sponsors on the site able to order this chain in the states?
What about the light 04 bar? I have an 026 looking for a new bar and chain and this stuff looks great.

I stock a 23rs-72 for the husky and echo users. It’s the most common one I sell...ordered for restock a couple weeks ago and got this pro *s-word. Haven’t looked for any other loop sizes or the bar yet.

That’s a good sign. Same thing happened to a Canadian friend a few weeks back. If it’s identical pricing, I’d say it’s a bargain.

That new RS Pro chain is real good stuff...
Don't knock it til you try it.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Right. I wouldn’t use the S word in the same sentence. I’ve been running it on regular bars (vs. narrow kerf) without any problems

 

[RI Chevy]

Same here. I use the RS on a Tsumura .050 bar. No issues.

Can't wait to be able to get some here. Dealers say a couple more years yet before we see some.
