Types of Chainsaw Chains and Sizing

chain that's okay next up is the different types of chain because this kind of makes a big difference in what your work is Right absolutely okay so up top here this is a professional grade shade it's a full chisel which means in between your side plate and your top plate that edge right there has a 90 degree angle okay it's sort of aggressive cutter um cuts very fast okay you can also dull a little faster so that's a pro level chain though yeah okay so then what is the semi chisel semi chisels down here okay you got your side plate top plate again that edge right there is rounded yeah I can see that it holds up to dirt debris so here's the here's you can see the difference that 90 degree versus that rounded and then what's the benefit of that it doesn't dolls fast okay so it's gonna last longer it's going to give you more working hours before you're pulling it before you're sharpening it okay okay so now skip tooth do you have a skip tooth chain here and why we should know about that okay yeah bring it over into the light if you want all right okay so here we're looking at a skip tooth chain yeah so this is if you look there's only one drive link between your cutter teeth okay the skip tooth you got two Drive Lanes between every tooth okay and when would you want that and when wouldn't you want that so we use these on bigger wood okay it doesn't drag as much doesn't clog as easy it's less teeth to sharpen yep and it can cut faster okay what's the downfall then it's not as precise okay so if you want to do a lot of precise cutting you're going to want your standard when you got to get that directional cut in and you got to finesse that that tree and you got to know exactly where that's going to drop you're not going to want to go with a skip tooth is likely okay it's not as precise Cuts okay walk a little more and move around oh okay so it's so you professionals use it when you want to get through a lot of wood fast and you don't want to sharpen as much okay got it that makes complete sense now the size of the chain makes a big difference you got a 20 inch bar here yeah so that doesn't mean you can throw any 20 inch chain right okay there's all sorts you have three Ace this one's a 404 that goes on our big 880 chainsaw okay those Drive links are a lot bigger so you can put this chain in this bar you could not put that chain in that bar with this this chain down here uh this goes on our climbing saw this also won't fit in here so you got to take a look at…
