Ripping Chain - SabreChain

Chainsaws are normally used to fell trees, and the normal chainsaw chain we are all familiar with is specifically meant for that cross-cutting application. But sawing boards, lengthwise down the grain, as versus cutting across the grain for felling, involves different considerations.

 

Ripping chain is 3/8" pitch and features a special factory grind for making dimensional boards and planks from timber by “ripping” it (cutting parallel to the wood grain). Equipping your chainsaw with a proper ripping chain improves both performance and yield when you saw boards with your chainsaw and Norwood’s PortaMill PM14 chainsaw sawmill.
