Notch chain
« on: January 23, 2021, 12:37:09 am »
Has anyone tried Notch chain?

https://www.treestuff.com/notch-3-8-pitch-050-gauge-chainsaw-chain/

 It appears to be a China chain made with "German steel". Does that mean it is made from German scrap iron or from German produced steel? ??? The chain does look nice.

Never heard of that one. But reminds me of the forester chain look.   

Thing is it is more to buy that china chain then buy new Oregon LGX or EXL. That dont make sense.

Just to show you EXL is more then LGX by 1-2 a loop  https://stahlssupplies.com/72EXL072G-Oregon-Full-chisel-chainsaw-chain-38-Pitch-72-DL-050-Gauge-_p_1027.html

LGX on another site and dealer that sells on my chainsaw repair group FB. That treestuff sight is just out of their mind on prices IMHO  https://www.sawsuppliers.com/collections/saw-chain/products/oregon-lgx0-3-8-pitch?variant=31230670962735

Your point is well made! I personally do not run saws any more but keep my son's chains from his tree service sharpened. He runs mainly semi-chisel except for his top handles used in the air. He really has been pleased with Stihl 61PMM3 and is converting all the top handles to narrow kerf. Will be trying Oregon 90PX instead of the 61PMM3 in the near future.
