You put this in the milling section. I do not do milling with a chainsw except to make notches for band roller guides or stuff along those lines. I would think for that length 72dl .325 pitch the Stihl Picco 63 class chain would be the preferred choice for milling.

A search will turn up similar questions and responses probably not pertaing to .325 though.

Not sure what full chisel means. I am not aware of any .325 chain that is square ground chisel that might be what most on here might think full chisel means.

In the Stihl 3/8 Lo Pro range PM would be semi chiesel PS full chisel usually refers to the corner of the cutter curved =semi sharp right angle =full chisel

And there is another one that ends in X, a ripping one, says so right in my manual.

Picco is a Stihl word. Low
profile is an Oregon trademark, their product (91 in their code)is for 42cc max. Lo pro range is a good choice of words. I put the 63 in my post as that means 3/8 pitch 0.050 gauge version of picco choices.

It may be ok chain, but I have found Oregon and Carlton chain on eBay for the same price.

Archer chain started in Australia and is made in China. Some more reviews on it in this thread:

Not sure what full chisel means.

'Full chisel' to me means round ground/filed cutters with a pointed leading corner (looks like the number '7'), versus rounded corner of 'semi-chisel' chain. 'Square ground/filed' would be the same as full chisel chain that is ground or filed with flat cutting edges.




Round ground/filed semi-chisel; round ground/filed full chisel; square ground/filed full chisel
