What do you get?

 

GB extra thin bar designed to run Stihl 3614-63PMX.

When entering the world of chainsaw milling the term ‘ripping chain’ can be a bewildering one. Plenty of info online and of course plenty of contradictions to muddy and confuse things.

Really ripping chain is simply this – a micro or semi chisel chain filed to 10 degrees instead of the usual 30 degrees. That is it in a nutshell and it really is no more complicated than that. All filing principles stay the same except for this 10 degree angle.

 

Pros of lo pro ripping chain:

  • Takes a very slightly narrower kerf (only 15% less than a 3/8 standard chain)
  • Reduces strain on the powerhead
  • Increases milling speed by approx 20%

Cons of lo pro ripping:

  • Increased chain stretch even with Stihl PMX
  • More expensive
  • Chain has less strength than standard 3/8 and .404 – so hit something hard and there is more chance of chain breakage. Heavy handed operators will struggle as there is less margin for sharpening and milling errors
  • Less stay sharp ability than the larger chains – larger chains can take more punishment than lo pro chains

So in conclusion – lo pro milling increases milling speed and decreases kerf wastage however there is less margin for errors and as usual for all chainsaw milling your chain sharpening must be spot on.
