Chainsaw
3/8" low profile narrow kerf, 1/4" are these all fads or do they really help smaller cc saws?

[QUOTE="Chris-PA, post: 7259655, member: 67290"] Stihl is not the only 0.043" lo pro out there - I've used Oregon 90 for years on my Husky 142 with a 16" bar. It's not ported, but with a muffler mod it's plenty strong. I've never had any stretching or reliability issues with that chain, and it cuts very fast. The cutters on 90 are quite a bit taller than 91, not just narrower. Carlton 0.043" is a waste - the cutters are identical to the 0.050" lo pro so there is no reduced load on the saw, the kerf is just 0.007" narrower. [/QUOTE]
