    I've had some old poulan and craftsman saws that had really big anti kick back links. You couldn't plunge cut at all.

    Your not supposed to be able to plunge cut at All with a safety chain. The radius of the safety link is supposed to block the tooth from cutting.

    I think they are standard equipment on home owner saws. Full skip safety chain! IMG_1319.JPG

    Picco micro mini comfort is what's on the ms170 stock. Notice the pmmc in the link, but click on the link and the c for comfort ( not cookie) goes away. Whatever it is It cuts pretty darn well.

    PXL_20221030_234332549.jpg Heres a brand new loop of old Carlton safety chain with the huge anti kick back bumpers. There would be no bore/plung cutting with this.
