This is the Panther version of the small .325 .043[1.1mm] chain. Note this is not available to customers in USA or Japan.
Set up for both small Husky and Stihl saws – this small well made chain adds another complication to chain sizes! .325 .043 is not quite as small and thin as 1/4 .043 but not as large as 3/8 lo pro….
Oregon will also be doing kits where you get the .325 drive sprocket/bar/chain in one pack which at least makes it easier to get everything matched up!
Will it cut as thin as 1/4 .043? No… close but not as thin a kerf.
Will it cut as fast as 1/4 .043? Hmm.. not enough testing done yet.
Will it cut as smooth as 1/4 .043? No chance – there are less teeth.
Will it be a stronger set up than 1/4 .043? Yes – slightly thicker bar and sturdier chain.
Will it last longer and be easier to sharpen than 1/4 .043? Prob yes on both counts.
