Do you think there are many counterfeit Oregon chains on the market? I have had some really low-quality products that I believe to be fake.

Thanks for sharing, appreciated. What I would love to see is some extreme slow motion macro of some saw chain just starting to make a cross cut on some flat wood. (The slow mo guys captured lightning, so I'm thinking good video might be possible.) Also would love to see extremely quick flash pics of saw chain just starting a cut on flat board. And if it's not too much trouble could you get Ruckin Rilly Bay to stop creating nonsense fictional explanations, that would be nice. Cheers sincerely d

Good info in this video. Thanks! Back in the mid 90's my wife and I went to a steel shipper in Indiana and picked up a truckload load of coiled steel for Oregon, in Milwaukee, Oregon. We specialized in frozen refrigerated truck loads beck then, and were surprised to find that the load was to be kept at a constant temp at around 50 degrees. I was pretty impressed in their quality control from start to finish when we delivered at Oregon. We are still using Oregon chains and bars, and they now also make some very tough aftermarket mower blades that outlast John Deer blades 3:1. The next sprocket I get will be from Oregon, as well. I wasn't aware they had them when I recently replaced one.

It would be really good to see a part two. Maybe a long form video. Maybe touching on more tactical things I think it’s good that you got onto the sprocket maybe talk about bar maintenance and damage and what that might mean as far as the chain life. Also, did you hear anything? Are they bringing back their lightweight bars?

All that technology and I still can’t get a square tooth chain that can cut right out of the box. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL REDUCED WEIGHT BARS. All gripes aside I do love the price point for the quality that they provide. I buy a lot of Oregon products and would buy more if they had all the applications that met my needs. I’ve been looking for a reduced weight bar for almost a couple years but they’re so impossible to find. 😢

@greenmirror5555Күн бұрын
Has Oregon made a chain specifically for the fella that sharpens out in the woods by hand with a round file? Obviously a design grind for power/torque/bar length/wood is ideal but soon as I have cut a few cords of firewood or play with a stump or touch the dirt I can see the flying chips are gone and I re-sharpen with a file. poof back to slinging chips. Oh and well said about rim drives...everyone should have a lil box of new rim drives and change out on the rainy days out of season.

@nothanks90507 сағат бұрын
Harder cutters are harder to hand file, that's the trade off, plus files get eaten up faster. Small difference in reality. My experience is that oregon stays sharp in clean wood just fine. Dirty wood dulls both brands pretty quick, embedded surprises ruins everything instantly. With the oregon you're back up and running faster. Typically oregon is cheaper which more than offsets a potentially shorter life. Ultimately best to buy different brands and types of chain and see what you like best. I had some carlton free with a saw promo a couple of years ago, it was hard, did last well, but didn't hold oil well and took a while to stop stretching plus getting nice tooth shape initially took some work and it wanted a smaller file that typical .325, cut ok, not as smooth though, I liked the durability but other than that not really worth the saving over oregon which is just very easy to live with and performs well overall. Oregon versacut is supposed to be more durable, thicker chrome plate but haven't tried it.

Would be nice if Glenn could elaborate a bit on the typical pitfalls he is seeing at customers which can be easy avoided. Oregon is a very well known brand in Europe but im still sticking with the OEM chains - would be nice to have a better understanding whats the difference Oregon vs. lts say Husquavna OEM chains. Not a sales pitch but let these guys tell from a technical perspective why oregon is the way to go. That i would love to understand.

I grew up and spent a lot of time with my Grandpa and his best friend who was a logger in Northern MinneSnowta, so I learned from an olE school logger, but looking back now so many years later and realizing the one thing he really never spent time to teach me was anything to do with the chains as he didn't want anyone else to be blamed if the chain was not sharpened properly and this video really dialed in somethings for me now. I would love to get better at understanding the proper chain for the specific saws that I use now and this is a good start in that direction.
