Who makes…

In a package deal I bought was a 3/8 .050 72dl full chisel chain that is square ground/filed. It has 42 on the drive links and the tie straps are stamped Rotary. Any info is appreciated.

Looks to be an American company based in Georgia. The website says that they manufacture four out of five of their products in America, which is unusual these days.

Thanks. Next time I get out I’ll give it a run.

I’ve been running their 3/8 ,semi chisel for a few years . I just made the last couple of chains from a 100’ roll . It is good chain ,and had a great price point at the time I bought it . One negative that I have found is that it has been hardened maybe a bit too much . Things like setting the depth gauges with a file is just not going to happen . Another is that the semi chisel is really ripping chain . (10degrees on the cutter) . The positive is that it cuts decently ,and wears well .

I hate hitting a raker with the file and you hear that high pitch squeal as the file slides across the raker without biting.

I just use the dremel sanding drum or stone in the die grinder, 36” 404 loops are done in about 5 minutes
