The use of chainsaws makes cutting hardwood trees very efficient and easy. One of the most important parts of a chainsaw is its chain. It is important to select a chainsaw chain that fits the saw and serves the purpose you intend it for since there are numerous types of chainsaw chains available.

 

Full chisel chains like the STIHL Rapid Hexa 3/8″ will give you a high cutting performance due to their narrow kerf and innovative tooth shape. Professional forestry workers and agricultural professionals will find the new, innovative STIHL chainsaw chain useful since it makes it possible to fell and prune trees even faster with your STIHL chainsaw. This saw chain is particularly beneficial when cutting wood fibres.

 

You can sharpen the saw chain quickly, easily and precisely because the shapes of the Hexa saw teeth and the Hexa file are directly matched. The chain will stay sharper for a significantly longer period of time this way, allowing you to saw more quickly. The Rapid Hexa saw chain provides clean, precise cutting thanks to its full chisel teeth. 

What Is the Expected Lifespan of My Chain?

Considering the sheer number of factors involved, it is impossible to determine how long a chain will last. Aside from the quality of the first chain, other factors such as the type of wood you cut also matter. For larger trees, it’s wise to strip the bark from the areas you will be cutting with an axe before you begin, as cutting bark can wear down the chain.

 

Make Sure You Extend Its Life by Being Careful

Your chain can become dull quickly and dramatically if you hit things other than wood, such as dirt, rocks, or metal fencing. You can greatly extend the life of your chain by being careful.

 

Choose Your Sharpening Frequency Wisely

A chain can be resharpened many times before it needs to be retired. Some people resharpen their chainsaw chain every time they fill up with gas, but this may be too frequent, therefore reducing your chain’s lifespan.
