Hi all. I am trying to find out if there is a difference in any cutter angles from a green to yellow Stihl chain. For Reference I am specifically dealing with
33RS3 (Green) and 33RS (Yellow). Took some chains to the shop for sharpening and they came back different between the yellow and green.
green is 60/30/0. Yellow is more like somewhere between 55-50/30/0.
So a couple questions.
1. I have heard, but not seen officially, Stihl green chains are semi chisel and yellow are full chisel. Is this correct?
2. If question 1 is true, would that mean full vs semi chisel is what actually makes the yellow chain more aggressive? because all the info i can find points to the cutter angles being the same. Or is there a difference in angles between the 2 types and thats what makes one more aggressive than the other.
3. I have heard guys say they sharpen full chisel chains with a 10 down angel and semi chisel at 0. Any thoughts on this?
thanks for any info you can provide.
