  • We test out the brand new Hexa full chisel chain and file from STIHL. Want to see if it is really faster than a standard RS chain? Watch this video to find out and let us know what you think about it!
    The STIHL 3/8" Rapid Hexa full chisel chain will help you to achieve a high cutting performance thanks to the innovative tooth shape and narrow kerf. The new, innovative chainsaw chain from STIHL is a good choice for professional forestry workers and professionals working in the agricultural sector, as it makes it possible to fell and prune trees even more quickly with your STIHL chainsaw. The advantages of this saw chain come into their own particularly when it comes to cutting wood fibres.

    The rakers/depth gauges are generally way to high on new RS chain and need taken down immediately to ever cut good. If they were touched up first...It may have beaten the Hexa chain? Unless...the Hexa is following in the steps of RS chain and also needs rakers/depth gauge touched up when new also?

    Let's have it in the USA already! I have been running this profile since Husqvarna came out with the x-cut chain, using a fil-n-joint. It works real well for buckin up dirty logs on the landing and firewood, it stays sharp longer than round filed chain. As long as folks get the top plate angle right the rest is easy peasy with no gadgets or filing of the gullet needed. The hexa file will take the place of the round file.

    Nice vid, this chain must good for forestry users I would think as they can sharpen more accurately and quicker on the hoof. For me a domestic user, I have my lovely electric sharpener which is very accurate with standard chains. I've never had much confidence in my ability using a manual file.

    • @nate2838
      @nate2838 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It takes practice, the number 1 thing is to sharpen before the chain is dull, that way you fit the file to a correct shape and get used to how the teeth should look, and how the file should feel.

      Al thats a very good question. I'd think you could use a 3/8 guide ... its a question for the Stihl man. RS chain out of the box needs to be dropped 10 thou at least, as does Square grind chain. I suppose we'll have to wait and do our own comparisons.
