What is better about it, Bill ?IMHO this is the very best chain for milling. I have used Oregon and Baileys and the Stihl is far better.
When I first started on here I learned a very cool thing about gauge that I did not realize and will now pass it on to others as I do not see it mentioned.
.050, .058 and .063 all have the same kurf in the wood because the drivers are all .063 in the chassy of the chain and only thinned down under the chassy.
There is one exception to this rule. Carlton .050 is a true .050 all the way up through the chassy and thus the kurf is .013 thinner than the other .050 chains made by Stihl and Oregon.
OK, so here is the scoop on difference: The 63PMX is a ripping chain, Low Profile (PICCO), but RATED at up to 100cc/ 36" bar, where standard LP ripping chain is only recommended up to about 41cc/ 18" bar. However the Woodland Pro 30RP Ripping chain is probably more comparable, as rated up to 100cc/ 36' bar and ONLY HAS a 1/4" KERF, and ~half the price of the 63PMX. The 63PM (25-35 degree picco) chain is ONLY recommended Up to 40cc/ 18" (from what I read). STIHL also advertises that they "pre-stretch" their chain.
I had previously replied, but guess the pc ate it :-(What is the price of a roll in Europe? Any members there who could ship some?
Less stretch for user; it's pre stretched. Oregon chain in saw in my avatar droops after first use off reel. Most other chain is similar. Stihl also seemed to hold edge better when milling the log off the stump in photo, Prior cuts with Oregon. My $.02 your milage may varyI'm happy with woodland pro chain. It's pretty reasonable.
Stihl is high dollar stuff. I'm sure its $400-550 a roll. I my opinion its not worth the extra cost, but I've never ran it.
Is there something special about it?
Howdy,
Finally got a line on the 63PMX. It's still expensive but, better priced than the competition. We're starting off a .50 a drive link, and 549.00 on the 100' reel. Should be on the website soon. I'll get back on here and post some links when they're ready. I expect to start moving some of this chain in the near future, so hopefully eventually we'll be able to drive the price down. Also in the near future we'll be coming out with narrow kerf single ended bars up to 48" that have Lo Pro tips. Another nice product we'll have available is a large spline Lo Pro rim.
