Sounds like a good compromise?Yup...
Half as smooth as full comp and half as good at clearing chips as full skip...

it is my favorite all around chain for softwoods ,clears the chips better than full comp bucking ,it bores and limbs better than full skip
IMO, Stihl RS and RSL comes pretty sharp. It cuts well for me.

Yeah it cuts well but you can certainly make it cut better.
Keith, depends on what you cut. If you are cutting hardwoods with a 20" bar, I would no go with skip.

Oh my!! Im gonna quit asking questions! I feel like a dumbass now!! Lol!
That's about all I do around this place is ask questions. Meh, some may think that's dubassery.

Oh, I have nothing against questions. Just playing around.
Though I do think, sometimes, people get too caught up in the minutiae. All the chains and configurations will cut wood, assuming they're reasonably sharp. If someone is happy with stock chain, great; if they feel they want more, that might inspire them to push the envelope and better their sharpening skills or make some changes. Neither is right or wrong. Same with cutter configuration -- one person may favor the characteristics of full comp as it pertains to their particular cutting style, while another may prefer skip, all else equal. Try some stuff and cut some wood, and when you feel you've found a shortcoming, try some different stuff and see what you like best.

Do you like half skip on a 115 dl bar ?
Like a carpenter says "Measure twice, cut once"
Part of the purpose of this site is to ask and answer questions, so hopefully when we spend our hard earned money, we spend it wisely.
If it were not for the information I learned from this site I would not be using square file chain now, and would not have removed the baffle from my 046, would not know how to remove carb limiters, would not have dual port covers on my 044 & 046, etc, etc.
Heck, I would not even have purchased the 046!
Collectively we become smarter, and I thank all the experienced people on this site that have shared valuable information and contributed to my knowledge gain.

Well this is my perspective on the discussion at hand. We pay 300+ on porting for 30% to 40% off cut times and then we can change type of chain and gather 30% off cut times for approx. 40$ for 20" chain and a file? Im thinking it would be retarded not to ask questions and learn the chisel chain technique vs. $$$ invested vs the performance to $$$ ratio?Oh, I have nothing against questions. Just playing around.
