[Boxed] P+404-FSR-148 Panther 404 Full Skip Ripping Chain 148 Drive Links

Specialised ripping chain from Panther this Full Comp chain has has a 10 degree angle to help cut with the grain and is designed for use on chainsaw mills.

New Panther + chain [patent pending]. The + stands for additional line markings on the top plate of the tooth which helps give a visual guide to the angle you are sharpening at but more importantly it helps you judge the tooth length in relation to the other teeth on the chain. One of the hardest things to do with a chainsaw chain [without a guide] is to ensure each tooth is the same length and the same angle as all it’s brothers. If not cutting becomes inconsistent, vibration increases, the teeth that are longer take big bites of the wood and dull faster.

• P stands for Panther
• + stands for Panther Precision sharpening system [or lines on the top plate!]
• 404 = self explanatory – it is 404 chain
• 063 = gauge of chain is .063[1.6mm] – we don’t write this as all .404 chains are .063[1.6mm]
• FSR = Full Skip Ripping [as in Ripping Chain]

‘Which is the best ripping chain – the Granberg? The Stihl RCX? or the….’

Horses for courses – there is no ‘best’ same as there is no ‘best’ car, or ‘best’ golf ball etc etc. There is only what’s best for you! So if in doubt – buy different brand chains and different makes and find out what works best for yourself.
