Orbit chain

[JimBear]

Have any of you “Forum Guys” tried this stuff???

Now available in 3/8, .404 and 3/4!

Wallingford’s Inc. is pleased to announce that it has expanded its Orbit saw chain offerings to include both 3/4” and 3/8” pitch chain. Wallingford’s Inc. launched Orbit saw chain back in March with .404 pitch harvester chain, and the addition of ¾” pitch is a much-anticipated introduction.

Orbit saw chain is manufactured with high quality alloy steel and offers professionals the best balance of quality and value in the industry. The Orbit ¾” pitch saw chain has micro radius semi-chisel cutters and increase kerf width similar to Orbit .404 pitch chain. Both Orbit lines of harvester chain are engineered for maximum performance and fast cutting speed.

Our Orbit 3/8” pitch saw chain will be full chisel; non-safety chainsaw chain expanding are offerings to the professional loggers using handheld saws. All Orbit saw chain is manufactured with enhanced multi-layered chrome plating providing excellent durability and wear resistance. It is notable that this will complement our line-up of GB harvester bars and ProTOP chainsaw bars with a complete line up of Orbit harvester and professional chainsaw chain.

First time I've seen that, following along to hear any reviews...

I believe its just a rebadged tri link chain. Chinese chain. Here is a loop of stens branded my dealer gave me to try. The grind is inconsistent and sloppy. Havent tried it as i dont have a bar for this loop.

All the Chinese chain I have seen in person or pictures of has inconsistency issues with grinds

Round to oval to some other weird ass geometric shape and back again

You (I) lose 1/4 of the cutter length just trying to get them all to a consistent round profile

That's a big hit on the VALUE

I will wear out what I have then I am done with chinesium...

YMMV

Edited to add: but I am just a "forum guy" so what the phuk do I know

I appreciate the offer but I don’t really need any more chain at the moment, I just bought 8 loops that size of Carlton. I just saw it advertised along with the Carlton chain & was curious if anyone had tried it. An 84dl x .050” loop of Orbit is $.17 higher than Carlton/Oregon/Blount. A loop of 68dl x .050” Orbit is $.23 less than C/O/B. The Orbit & Stens do look similar.

I don’t need any help shortening my cutters, barbed wire, woven wire, fence staples & hidden steel posts take care of that.

Ain't that the truth...

TriLink logo/brand on the cutters sides.

If they are dirt cheap then OK, though I wouldn't expect much from those.
TriLink is the worst chain I ever used.

May not be the worst but I’ll never buy it again.

Is everyone commenting on the Chainsaw 3/8 chain? We have had great luck with the Orbit Harvester chain in both .404 and 3/4.. It is a value chain but the quality is getting better. In my opinion as far as harvester chain for the money it is not bad and sharpens up nice.

Yes there Tri Link see their LoGo stamping, Walmart sells them for the Hart Li battery chainsaws.

So when I throw it limping it will go into Orbit?

In all seriousness though, I can’t imagine it’s softer than Oregon cutters.
