Just .325??
Or the special narrow kerf ripping chain???
If the latter, no...
baileys has it, its a bar and chain, the cut it makes looks like a cut made by low pro or picco
but its .325 they have a bar and chain for 29.95

It works... But it's semi chisel. I think Bailey's is trying to move the stuff...
It's good milling chain.

I just need a regular full chisel then? the husky semi chisel chain dosnt act like a safety chain (no bumpers only smoother links, it will even bore cut)

By smoother I take it you mean the chain is Vanguard. The best cutting chains from Oregon are LPX and LGX..
ST I HL. Best chains are RS unless you're talking square..

thanks Matt :) I ushally just get LGX oregon thats my favorite, just never had .325 chain before,
I didnt know if it was different
 
any of my buddys on here use the narrow kerf .325 chain? or know about the whole system?

In theory it's supposed to be faster than regular kerf .325. I'll give it a "maybe". I tried it on an MS280 with good results, but not so good that I went back for more and more. The up side is you can use the bar with regular .325 / .050 chain, so it was a great deal on a bar. I bought a set up when it originally came out about two years ago and still use the bar.

Hedgerow said ".325 is supposed to be smoother...
But if anyone tells ya it's faster, they're sorely mistaken...
Of course , speed isn't always the main objective...
"

I would argue with him about the faster statement when it comes to smaller saws. I think there is an advantage on smaller saws that don't quite have enough grunt to pull full 3/8ths, but that might be like starting another "Which bar oil?" thread. I'll settle for saying I think .325 full chisel has certain applications where it works better.

And here I thought you were stuttering Hedge.:D It happened like Jim said to me. It was taking so long to post I though I missed the button. Hit it again & yep, it did the double post.
 
:bowdown: This will be a good weekend to be working in the wood heated shop! :rock:Isn't life good!:clap: My shop is my man cave or maybe I should call it a set of caverns. There are 2 main buildings,(30' x 42' and 50' x 54'), with an alley way connecting them, lofts - two 8' x 30', parts have a second story (16' x 30' and 20' x 54'), & stall like areas. I plan to add another 50' x 54' in a couple of years after I get our house built. I plan to get it started this summer.

I jump from project to project so fast I don't take time to do the clean up like I should. :rolleyes: Unfortunately it will take a couple of weeks of clean up. :( I is just hard to take time to just do clean up but it is my goal by the end of the month to have the shops straightened up.

I misplaced my camera so no photos. Besides I would be embarrassed to take photos right now. :D
