Carlton:
K = 325 chain
2 = .058 guage
L = Chisel
C = semi chisel

Woodland pro
The first two numbers denote the pitch and guage
2 = .325
8 = .058
RC = regular chisel
SC = Semi-chisel
RCS = regular chisel skip

Both woodland and carlton are the same chain with different markings.

Either way I have some 325 058 chain on the shelf that is either Carlton or Woodland Pro. Cant remember the brand but I can spin you some loops.

PM me...

I got about 50 feet left of a roll of 58j Carlton pro full chisel pm me if stills looking

Thank you. I am looking for the pro semi-chisel since I am cutting a lot of dirty wood and need to to a bit of boring as well with it. Oregon bpx has bumpers as well as Carlton k2c-bl and k2c-gl. That's why I have been looking for the straight k2c or Woodlandpro 28sc.

Do you know if it the k2c without bumper or guard links?
the "guard links" just make the chain run smoother without chatter if you are in hard wood.

Let me check my rolls tonight. I recall them being no guard links and no safety bumpers. Can't remember if I have semi-chisel or just chisel.

Sorry I said guard link before... bumper link/guard link (seen below) is good chain. runs really smooth in hardwoods with less chatter. and doesn't require a double grind on depth gauges when sharpening.

Don't mistake bumperlink/guardlink for the dog eared VANGUARD. Below is Vanguard chain which actually runs pretty good until the 3rd-4th sharpening.

Yea I know you didn't mention vanguard. But when I say guardlink chain people usually think "guardlink = vanguard" which is wrong.

Also not to be insulting but you are starting your bore cuts with the bottom tip of your bar right? It won't matter what chain you use, if you're not doing it right. Just asking to make sure. There have been plenty of times i've been corrected on here...

I'll check for semi-chisel tonight.

Cheers!
Nate
