baileys has it, its a bar and chain, the cut it makes looks like a cut made by low pro or picco
but its .325 they have a bar and chain for 29.95

It works... But it's semi chisel. I think Bailey's is trying to move the stuff...
It's good milling chain.

Holmen Tree uses it on his 338xpt he uses for topping trees. Said he got is setup through Madsens IIRC.

I just need a regular full chisel then? the husky semi chisel chain dosnt act like a safety chain (no bumpers only smoother links, it will even bore cut)

By smoother I take it you mean the chain is Vanguard. The best cutting chains from Oregon are LPX and LGX..
ST I HL. Best chains are RS unless you're talking square..

.325 is supposed to be smoother...
But if anyone tells ya it's faster, they're sorely mistaken...
Of course , speed isn't always the main objective...

Matt it's not your phone, it's the site, I'v seen it on several different threads. Don't press reply more than once even if it appears to be slow posting.

 

[Hedgerow]

Thanks Jim... I'll be vigilant..

In theory it's supposed to be faster than regular kerf .325. I'll give it a "maybe". I tried it on an MS280 with good results, but not so good that I went back for more and more. The up side is you can use the bar with regular .325 / .050 chain, so it was a great deal on a bar. I bought a set up when it originally came out about two years ago and still use the bar.

Hedgerow said ".325 is supposed to be smoother...

I would argue with him about the faster statement when it comes to smaller saws. I think there is an advantage on smaller saws that don't quite have enough grunt to pull full 3/8ths, but that might be like starting another "Which bar oil?" thread. I'll settle for saying I think .325 full chisel has certain applications where it works better.

And here I thought you were stuttering Hedge. It happened like Jim said to me. It was taking so long to post I though I missed the button. Hit it again & yep, it did the double post.

This will be a good weekend to be working in the wood heated shop! Isn't life good! My shop is my man cave or maybe I should call it a set of caverns. There are 2 main buildings,(30' x 42' and 50' x 54'), with an alley way connecting them, lofts - two 8' x 30', parts have a second story (16' x 30' and 20' x 54'), & stall like areas. I plan to add another 50' x 54' in a couple of years after I get our house built. I plan to get it started this summer.

I jump from project to project so fast I don't take time to do the clean up like I should. Unfortunately it will take a couple of weeks of clean up. I is just hard to take time to just do clean up but it is my goal by the end of the month to have the shops straightened up.

I misplaced my camera so no photos. Besides I would be embarrassed to take photos right now.
