Ms 362 chain question

[pauljoseph]

Need to get a 25 inch bar and I’m wondering what the fastest cutting chain would be. Cutting Clean wood, white oak. Stihl 362 c.
Thanks

A sharp chain cuts the fastest, but I’d get an 0.050” groove bar & some 33RS yellow label chains, 84 drive lengths.

Assume you have a 7 tooth sprocket on it, as it’s only a 60cc saw.

Might consider 33 RSF chain also.

I've seen and heard some really good things on youtube about the new Oregon EXL, but haven't tried it myself. I've been using Oregon 72LPX on my 361, and I still have "permagrin" at how fast that cuts, but that's coming from the perspective of someone who was using the reduced kickback safety chain. Guys on this forum helped me to "see the light" and that's why stopped using the safety chain, and I've never had a kickback issue. LPX has been around forever, so nothing new there.
