There’s a few rolls around in 404 but I haven’t had any 3/8 semi skip for ages
The semi skip 404 is 10 pence a DL cheaper than full skip

Do You stock Oregon chisel tooth full skip in 3/8" .058"?

Because semi-skip cuts better and faster than full skip. Just trying to help Wilhelm. I've used both.

Are we talking no less than 36" 115DL in hardwoods?
Because under 36" I see no need for any kind of skip sequence!

As posted above, acquiring chains is not a priority to me at all, as such any kind of skip is just a brainfart on a back burner.

OK...
Any size above 28 I use semi-skip. Not solely, but I have a couple. I use it on my 32" bar. It clears chips really well.

A while back, Redbull661 did some testing with semi-skip. It proved it cut well. Better than full skip.

Yes sir , the 73EXJ is the favourite chain of most of my customers

 

[RI Chevy]

You ever try the Semi-skip AJ?

Hello Jefff I’ve only used semi skip in 404 can’t seem to get it in 3/8
Over here but it is a nice chain I think I got it on the solo rex

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahh. Ok. Thanks Andrew. Hope all is well with you across the pond sir...

Oregon 72ck or 75ck is what you want. You can file it round or keep it square. I like it on a 32-36” bar. Below that I like full comp, above that I like full skip.

 

[huskyboy]

.404 in half skip (semi skip) I’m a little skeptical of. I do like half skip in a 3/8 though as I mentioned above. I say this because .404 full comp is darn close to 3/8 full skip spacing between the cutters since it is a larger chain. The only advantage I can see is less teeth to file. I guess will have to try it.

 

[RI Chevy]

Try some semi-skip...

 

[ajschainsaws]

everything is good if it would only stop raining

 

[old_sir_henry]

everything is good if it would only stop raining

but DOLMARs don't mind rain. They come from a city famous for its
12°C temperature and its rain, which make up "Hamburger Schmuddelwetter", as we say in german

"Hamburger Schmuddelwetter

I’ll be using that from now on when it gets nasty here. I took 5 years of German in school, but never heard of that. Lol.

 

[old_sir_henry]

it's not what you learn at school

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

it's not what you learn at school

I agree. All I remember from German are the dirty words, which we were obviously never taught in school...

What are other people's opinion on the bearclaw style muffler buckin billy ray put on the dolmar ps9000? Looks like it made a huge difference on that saw still being stock at that time. Tempting to do the same, but wondering what could possibly go wrong doing so.

that muffler looks loud , if you started that saw up in the Kennedy tunnel
On the Antwerp R1 ring road it would sound like a Ferrari

Damn surprised you know of the Kennedy tunnel in Antwerp Andrew! Most famous for it's traffic jams. But I have to agree on that Ferrari thing you mention though.

 

[Wilhelm]

Much simpler to just delete the muffler altogether instead of manufacturing that contraption.

But what do I know, I own saws featuring factory stock mufflers and that includes my PS-9010.
