| Re: Metal Detector - have one? I picked one up in a hardware store after encountering this... We also have special chains for the 660 with pantzer-teeth. Comes in handy when sawing through a stem with a grown in barb-wire or a light threaded fence. |

| Re: Metal Detector - have one? Do you have details of that chain you use? Maybe links or pics etc plus how you sharpen it.

| 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. |

| Re: Metal Detector - have one? Quercus these are the kind of only tipped chains available here in Oz (as far as I know) is this similar to what you're calling Panzer-teeth?  Ahha...I see you've answered already...

 We used an el cheapo metal detector a while ago when doin the street trees that every man and his dog has placed signs on. As usual, you get what you pay for and it never picked up anything deeper than an inch  | |

| Re: Metal Detector - have one? Yes I have a metal detector to check for foreign objects, I sometimes do logging on small lots being cleared for homes! The mills will stick it to you if the pick up metal on their detector. It has saved me a few chains on many occasions!  |

| Re: Metal Detector - have one? This is the Duro chain that Quercus is talking about. I had wondered about it before, it's nice to hear someone actually talk about it.
