[QUOTE="Hermio, post: 7963608, member: 139705"] A couple of years ago Project Farm tested various chains. The carbide chain was by far the slowest of the lot. But it held up better cutting through boards that had sand glued to them. It only takes a few minutes to sharpen a steel chain, and it cuts about twice as fast. So, I think it makes sense to stick with steel unless you are cutting through rooftops with shingles on them. [/QUOTE]
