stihl Klassic cutter design

[cherrycutter]

I have used the RSC and also the L grind type. What makes the Klassic different from the rest. Stihl says its for felling and bucking big timber and has better chip flow. Does anyone know why?

The rakers are a different shape and cutter grind is set up with a little differnt angles than normal chisle grind.

does it really work better than RSC?

 

[funky sawman]

I ran both but cant tell a difference between them.

I have not found anything that works better than a brand new RSC.

The C has a little less 'scoop' or angle built into the cutter.

The K has more chip flow, and will not cut as fast as the C till it is wore (filed) down some.

I'll see your RSC and raise you RSLKF right off the grinder.

I too feel that the square ground chain outcuts anything I have tried. My prob. is sharpening the darn stuff correctly. The only reason I run skip chain is for less filing.

I tinker with square ground chain, but it feels like I wast to much time filing it in the field that my work chain is round-filed.

Just for the point of discussion, my $0.02 cents worth are that skip or full comp chain will take the same amount of time to sharpen, both according to how much work they do for me.

Unless I rock a chain out or hit some dirt, I think a chain cuts by each cutter.

My analogy...

If a knife can cut 1 pound of fiber before it falls flat dead dull, 10 could cut 10 pounds and 20 - 20 .

I simply don't enjoy cutting with anything but square (although I do get out some semi chisel for dirty stuff).

My world changed when I bought a ProSharp 4 or 5 years ago. I could never go back....
