Bailey's will make up loops of CL for you. It is so much a drive link. Not out of line with the price of LGX factory loops.

We should share what we know... someone may learn...

Madsens is 2 for 1 on loops. I think you pay list price on it and the 2nd is free. Last time I got some they were $.38 a dl or really $.19 a dl.

Found a post from 2010 I made.

For you guys talking about stihl and oregon chain cutting speeds. I tested cut speeds of stock chains I dont think I had a fresh loop of LG to try.

I found a nice clean 10"x10" very dry poplar cant in the barn that has been there for well over a year now.

Saw was a 357xp 7T running 93 octane 32:1 and a rich 13.8k. 3 cuts per chain, which allowed for the unseen knot hit and operator error in some of the times.


I know factory sharp chains are not the sharpest out of the box, but I wanted to have a base to go off of. So RSLK, RSLHK, CL, RS, factory sharp were tested.





A. Stihl RSLK factory sharp..................................4.09...4.53 ...4.13

B. Stihl RSLHK factory sharp.................................4.47...4.74. .4.28

F. Oregon CL factory sharp..................................3.88....4.20....4.25

K. Stihl RS factory sharp....................................4.18..... 4.21....4.12
