[QUOTE="Del_, post: 7963345, member: 2050"] I've got a Stihl diamond grinding wheel to do the Stihl carbide chains on my USG. I got a 25ft. roll of the Stihl carbide chain 3/8 around 1995 and made it into 72 drive link loops. I still have one that has never been used. It cost as much as a 100 ft. roll of RS. The problem with the carbide is that the carbide chips easily if it hits something solid like a nail, etc. The rough edge that is left still grinds through stuff though and that may be why rescue units use it. Carbide dust is something to be very careful with. Carbide saw chain is not for me. [/QUOTE]
