New stihl safety chain rsc3

[treeclimber jul]

Has anyone used this chain? How do you like it? I am not a safety chain person but this chain cuts great and has very little vibrations, on the 361 of course.



how do I download pic?? Please help

That chain is a close copy of the Oregon LP, and it should be a really good chain, if they did it right..........:biggrinbounce2:

Where do I learn how to load pic. I tried but don't know how?

Just used some rmc3 today. New chain on an 028 and it would cut as fast as it possibly could without forcing it. Started bogging the saw without even forcing it but it was moving threw the wood like mad.

I like it for plunge cutting, doesn't jump around as much.

Just love the 361's anti-vib.

It doesn't cut much different to it's non-safety brother - the RSC.

Not quite.... you need to resize the image before uploading it. 800x600 is a decent choice.

Note that it's less than 10% of the orginal file size..

They also created a new PM chain it is called a "Comfort "chain also. I may try one for my 026 and one for my MS200 to see how they work. they are supposed to cut better and be smoother!

Yup. The 361 wears the rsc3 very well. I normally run skip but this chain cut good enough to make me buy another spare. I normally don't like safety chains but this combo can't be denied.

Thanks Lakeside, I'll use that on the next ones.

Also how do you post the pic on the thread and not as a link??:help:

Upload it first just like you did, then copy the url (open the pic and copy the address), paste it into the message, and add image (IMG) tags around it.

like this, but without any spaces inside the brackets

That's what came on my new 290. Seems to cut pretty well, but I haven't used it much yet. I don't really see any difference between it and the RS that I'm running on my 250 as far as how it cuts.

Seeing the pictures makes me disappointed.

Both the ramps and rakers look larger, and more restrictive, than the original Oregon design (LP, VP etc), probably it will not clear out chips as effectively, and it will probably not bore-cut as well either.

I would stay away, but in smaller wood, for crosscutting, there is probably nothing to worry about...........

 

[Lakeside53]

You'll just have to try it then!

I surely will, when it arrives here......

It's comming - right after you get a Dolmar dealer in your area, or within 500 miles...:biggrinbounce2:

This looks like the chain that came on my MS250. My problem with it is that I can't fit my file down into the area where I need to file the cutter. I am using one of those bar mounted file n joint sharpeners. I suppose I will have to have it ground down by someone for the first time so I can sharpen it later. And Yes I'm using the right file.

Imo chisel Stihl chains are a bit difficult to get the file properly into the first time - just try a file one size smaller, and free-hand it......

Thanks for the advice SawTroll
