How small a bar can be run on a ms 661

[jmssaws]

Not so,there is round ground chisel and square ground chisel

You talking about the things that goes around the blade?

No such thing as full chisel. There's semi chisel or just chisel then there's skip chain or full comp chain.

Just sayin....

I like a 24" on a 661.

Oregon agrees with Stihl:

From the chart, it is apparent that square or round refers to the grind; chisel, semi-chisel and chipper refer to the cutter type.

While we're on the subject of chain terminology...

Technically speaking those that use the term 'full comp' are generally mistaken also.
A true 'full compliment' chain has a cutter on every set of side plates.
Very rare to see, I've only heard of it being used by carvers.

Not sure what 'regular' chain is supposed to be called, 'cuz really it's full skip, full skip is really double skip, though I guess semi skip really is semi...

If a chain cuts wood and makes chips in a timely manner, who really cares what it's called??

Umm, maybe so others know what you mean when you're talking about it or trying to buy/sell it...

I understand that, I should have prolly worded my statement differently.

P.S., I recently saw an 11" bar for a MS660, it looked homemade for cant racing. [emoji6]

I'm still waiting for someone to show me a picture of a round ground chisel

I'm still trying to figure out how a thread about short bars for a MS660 turns into a thread about chains.....

If this is not a pic of round ground chisel chain, could you please tell me what type/style of chain this is? I don't want to be misunderstood when I talk about chains.
Thanks.

Square filed chisel right

 

[jmssaws]

I'm still wondering if the "chain" goes around the blade?

Square filed chisel right

That's the type of blade I use.

If it's a disston straddle chain yes it goes around a blade not a bar
