Default Re: Metal Detector - have one?

The chain we use is from Stihl. They use it on their heavy saws and shouldn't be used with a saw lighter than a 440.
Exact name:
OILOMATIC? STIHL RAPID? Duro

This chain has no problem with medium nails, barb wire,... something like that. This doesn't mean that the chain will not get dull. It only takes 10 times as long... I paid about 250 euro's for my chain though. Wheel for the grinder is an additional 200 euro's.

Carbide tipping of the cutters makes 3/8" STIHL RAPID? Duro chain specially suitable for cutting dirty wood, treated wood, roots or railroad ties, which would quickly dull conventional chains. This chain must be resharpened with a formed diamond grinding wheel.Sometimes a single tooth loses this carbide tip. Whe have some replacements for that.
