The chain is traditionally made out of steel and such materials. Therefore, the lifetime of the chain depends on the way of use. The lifetime of a chainsaw chain has no fixed limit and depends on usage and maintenance.
The chain should last many years; years should be no problem. However, if the chainsaw chain is used properly and taken care of, it can last way longer. The chainsaw can concede unexpected damage out of nowhere which can lower its possibility to work efficiently.
But whatever may be the case, an ideal chainsaw, regardless of the unexpected events, can last and work efficiently for years. There are different types of chainsaw chains that are normally available in the market.
While this classification of chains can be based on many things, there are generally three things on which the primary classification is done. These are the cutter type, the chain sequence or the chain arrangement, and the specialized add-ons? The chain sequence and the cutter type create the most difference in the chains.
These cutters are the ones that have square corners, and this quality makes them efficient for cutting at a higher speed than most of the cutting chains. The semi-chisel cutters have rounded teeth which means the chain has blades that have beveled corners. Because of this, they have the maximum efficiency in the case of cutting softwood. This chain can be easily used in a rough environment cutting dirty, dry, and frozen wood. A month and hours of continuous use?
Especially in. The smaller cutters dull easier. My last big tree but here was a 60' X 36" sugar maple. With a ported and an. And I noodled the big end of the tree just to move the rounds. The fastest cutting chains I have are the ones that only have a tiny little triangle shaped top plate left on the cutter. When the cutters begin to break off because they are so thin there is no metal left to hold the top portion of the cutter on the remainder of the side plate then I toss the chain.

As above a properly sharpened chain should cut good as new or better until the teeth start to break off. Joined Jun 6, Messages Location maine. It will last until it's dull.
NK is quite right. I volunteer for a heating assistance program, bucking donated tops on the tree service's lot. A couple weeks ago I dulled five RS chains in one morning session. Sometimes the wood is just dirty. This past Saturday I dulled one chain.
But a buddy hit an embedded nail with a semi-chisel Husky chain and it was not pretty. I am working on it now for him. Don't get to run.
I did recently added a Husky with 20". I generally only sharpen when needed and not just because a certain amount. With experience an operator will know when the chain is no longer like it should and needs sharping. It just like using any knife sometimes they cut a long time and other times needs constant sharping; just what it is asked to do.
I have found that chains will dull according to what your cutting. Dirty wood dulls chains quickly.
Dry season wood normally dull chains faster than green wood; it simply harder and more abravise. Even the type tree can make a big difference in sharping times depending mineral content. I don't like cutting Hackberry here as the bark dulls chains so quickly; the wood itself is not bad. On hitting nails, wire, rocks, etc can really do a number on chains. Even with this my chains usually last 5 to 10 cords of 18" firewood before I need to replace them; of course, I pay close attention to what and where I am cutting.
Others here probably agree if you saw railroad spike in two you might not even get one sharping before replacing a chain; had this to happen once cutting a tree from the city.
Kids and some adults are bad about driving metal objects in trees. Meaning, the longer the guide bar, the more powerful the engine is to support it. The reason being is that the engine may not be able to support a guide bar longer than two additional inches than the blade from the manufacturer.
However, if the branches are only a couple of inches thick, or even thinner than that, a small handsaw may be more appropriate for the task. Also see my best small chainsaw guide. Also see my best cheap chainsaw guide.
