Those cutters don't look like something used to cut wood with!
How about splitting animal carcasses?

They are meant to cut something allright, but that excludes wood.
I guess it'll be something that's much softer then wood, can spatter around like hell, and needs a nice clean cut. The chain is not heavy built, so it won't be something rough to cut.

Last 4 pics...was made by Oregon and they stopped production in 1976.......

I think they're scratcher chains.
Never seen the first one before.

self sharpening chains?

Concrete cutting chains?

If I spent that much time collecting saws, cleaning them all up, making them look nice and showy, polishing them, looking at them lovingly, etc...

I probably wouldn't end up getting any actual tree work done, whether it be dismantling, pruning, tree care, etc... how do you manage to get it all done?

Give a man a match and he'll be warm for a moment, but light him on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

How about a chain to saw Ice blocks out of the lake?

I remember as a kid helping getting blocks of ice from the ice house that were cut from a local lake during the winter. They had them all burried in sawdust. I don't have a clue what they used to cut them from the lake though!

CAPORAL30

No...They used Wright reciprocating saw for ice cubes, railroad beams and butcher work since no oiling was required.

Try again.......This is a tough one........

Wouldn't have anything to do with removing stumps by chance?

Which direction are those teeth running into the cut?

newguy18

that wouldn't by chance be used for pulp wood with bow bars would it?

Those knife type cutter don't look like they'd cut anything much tougher than grass! The saw kerf would be more narrow than the chain!

OK ...Here's the story.....being a collector i also have a large quantity of chains in my collection.
This #10 type made by Oregon, was used mailly in the 70's and was called a "cloth chain" in the textile industry.
With the decline in demand and the mills shutting down, the Oregon company stopped production in 1976 of this special utility chain.

Hope this was a bit interresting for you guys...this is why i posted this thread in the non related "tree chat"
