I just priced 3/8 .050 72dl 20" RS @ my local Stihl dealer last week. Sticker...$26.99
I have an Oregon drivers license, so the sales tax does not apply to me.

In my area I run 3-4 cord per chain. If it starts getting dull I set it aside to sell for $7. I sell the chain in batches of 10 loops or so. I try to sell these chains to someone who owns one of those $2,000+ Silvey grinders.
Great business deal from me and a great deal for them.
I don't tolerate a grabby or "off center" chain. The chain needs to be sharpened perfectly and the only tool that can do it to my satisfaction is a Silvey Grinder. With my system I can't justify the $2,000. If I was rich I would get one, but I'm not.
I don't want to be the technical nazi here, but the chain isn't spinning @ 10,000 rpm, the drive sprocket is. The chain is going around at the 10,000/(72/#teeth on the drive sprocket)Thanks for the correction.
Still, it's spinning at 10,000 rpm, I just have never been able to tell the difference even with my smaller top handle saws with 12" bars.
I get my Oregon chains at a Husky dealer. Stihl chains at a stihl dealer. New in package. Never had a issue.

Would that be 'bites, or 'links"?Well at 12,000 RPM (simpler math) 3/8" chain is moving at around 60 miles per hour.
Again, using round numbers, the saw is taking about 600 'bites' per second , if that helps.

I know but they fit the saws and I think they cut good. It's better then having some hack piece one together.Fixed it for ya.
