Where to Buy Chains and What Type?

I've been eyeing Duke's chain for a while... You've run it before? Is it actually fairly comparable to Stihl RS? The geometry looks aggressive.

 

I'm one click away from pulling the trigger on 25' of factory square ground from Frawleys in Iowa, who seem to have it cheapest. They're another place that I have zero complaints with. It beats giving my business to Jeff Bezos.

EDIT: Ordered. Free shipping!

 

Frawleys has never disappointed me, plus I like supporting small businesses. The factory angles on that chain won’t be the best you’ve ran, if you’ve never tried it before. Not implying it won’t cut for chit.

 

I figured it was ground more for durability than speed, which is fine. After the first sharpening I’ll give the side plate some more forward lean, and maybe the top plate a steeper angle depending on where it’s at. The main thing is that I won’t have to trash my wheel converting round to square when it’s time to sharpen.

 

I use the Dukes 3/8lp. I consider it as close to stihl chain as you can get. In fact, if he ever offers a Stihl 23RSP style, I'll be using it instead of said 23RSP. All my saws run the 3/8LP except one. That's the one I run the stihl chain on.

 

I run Stihl RS full chisel on my saws. Ill look for deals on eBay/FBM. One thing I've recently done thanks to Eric Wanderweg is buy longer chains at a discount and he shortens them to 20/25". Matter of fact I have a deal in the works for seven 20 & 28" chains for $30. FBM find that I need to meet up with. Seems its easier to buy more than have a sharpen-a-thon.

I have used Oregon and Carlton in the past but have settled on Stihl.

 

So it has to rain some time, I got a dozen or so needing sharpen, My guy, I previously talked about an old timer, spun chain and sharpened chain. He could smoke in his shop, got cataracts can’t see to do it anymore.

 

Seems like an equipment buying opportunity to me.

Hoarders think same way… Lot of stuff where to put it all
