So I guess it is just a speciality chain for cutting through nails on a rooftop and not well suited for firewood cutting.
Above quote would be for the carbide chain used by fire departments not the Stihl 33RD3 mentioned in post 1
I only got one 55dl 63piccoduro.
There are certain soil types you can just essentially cut a box out a root infested box. Those soils would be rather rare around here.
Once a cutter chips the next good one in line on that side is much more likely to chip than a tooth in a healthy section. I think Stihl charges about $5 for a cutter.
To think the rivets/bushings/holes in the drive link will go 4 times as far if used in clean wood, well answer that on your own experience of chain elongation with use.
I am unsure how much damage the carbide cutter fracture off chips damage other cutters.
The dremel tool with a diamond properly sized cylinder works, cuts faster than one might expect the dust is supposed to be toxic.
like stated the carbide is a piece brazed on and the chip cut off wood won't have as smooth an exit as a conventional cutter. Stihl 33RD3
