Specialised ripping chain from Oregon this Hyper Skip chain has x10 extra gaps between each pair of teeth. This helps keep chain speed higher when using a longer bar with a longer saw. This gives a smooth even feel to milling timber. The timber itself can have a slightly rougher texture. But it really helps to keep chain speed up on very long bars.


 

‘A skip chain has fewer cutting teeth than a conventional chain which means it won’t be dragging as many teeth through the wood you’re cutting. Less drag on the chain means less power is needed to cut through the log. That means the motor on your saw runs faster which keeps it in a more efficient power curve. It’s the same principle you use when downshifting a transmission in your truck to go up a steep grade. You get more power by increasing the engine speed. ‘ Steven Gregersen USA

Pros

  • Milling is smoother and much more forgiving
  • Longer bars can be used with smaller powerheads as the strain on the powerhead is reduced
  • Less teeth to sharpen [Only around 1/3 of the 27R teeth]

Cons

  • There are fewer teeth but correct sharpening procedure becomes much more important

‘Which is the best ripping chain – the Granberg? The Stihl RCX? or the….’

Horses for courses – there is no ‘best’ same as there is no ‘best’ car, or ‘best’ golf ball etc etc. There is only what’s best for you! So if in doubt – buy different brand chains and different makes and find out what works best for yourself.

Skip chain

It worked amazingly well, did not grab or kind of grind on the sprocket. I could run it a bit faster than the other 27RA chain. Fewer tips = less time sharpening.
