2 A Chain that cuts faster makes my chainsaw consume less fuel, and leaves me less tired at the end of the day: I m doing the same job with less effort. The most important thing is to have a sharper Chain that is easier to maintain. A Chain that stays sharp for longer is important, so that I do not waste my time in sharpening. I need a Chain that cuts faster to work more productively. I want to minimise the time I spend sharpening. As technology is improving chainsaws are getting lighter and lighter, so it is important to use a lighter Guide bar. David G rardDaniel ArnouldSt phane RensonnetA BETTER SAW STARTS NEW generation narrow-kerf cutting BETTER SAW STARTS SHARPER EASIER LIGHTER STRONGER LONGER-LASTING Kerf is the width of a cutting face. The wider the cutting face, the more resistance in the cut. By creating a narrow cutting face, SpeedCut saw Chain is able to move through the cut faster than a standard kerf Chain . Look for the narrow-kerf icon for saw Chain and Guide bar SpeedCut system is designed to deliver faster cutting and reduced weight when compared with standard cutting systems.

5 What that means for the end user is it ll cut faster, give them more uptime, and ultimately lead to a more productive we approached the engineering, we realized very quickly we would not only have to reengineer the Chain itself but completely reinvent the way we manufacture that the heart of the redesigned Chain is a reshaped cutter. It gets cut wood out of the way FASTER so you re not recutting wood chips. To create this new cutter, we had to reinvent the process and machinery used to grind the cutting surface. The result is a Chain that works more efficiently and is SHARPER out of the box every ve matched the cutting surface to the file so that the Chain is EASIER for the user to sharpen. And we ve optimized the cutting angle so that Chain stays sharper longer. I m Eric Burmester. I m the engineering manager for Oregon Forestry really wanted it all. We wanted a lighter product as well as one that was both stiffer and stronger. While the Guide bar looks basically the same, just about every single material and subcomponent that goes into it is completely new.

6 What makes the bar LIGHTER is essentially the replacement of the core steel laminate with a Light-weight aluminum alloy, which is really important for the customer because they don t have to lug around as much weight, they re less fatigued at the end of the the adhesively bonded Guide bar, we have contact between all of the components of the bar throughout the entire surface, which allows us to be significantly STRONGER and stiffer, using Light-weight ve consulted with some industry experts in the bearing arena and found that, with the application of some improved materials, tolerances, and some specific manufacturing processes, we can significantly EXTEND THE LIFE of our nose components.

9 What types of users is SpeedCut System developed for?The SpeedCut .325 saw Chain was designed to meet this needs of demanding pro-fessional users- arborists, loggers, and rural landowners. Optimized for saws under 55cc engine displacement, the SpeedCut .325 saw Chain is designed to deliver exceptional cutting speed to maximize productivity on the What pitch is SpeedCut currently available in?SpeedCut is currently available in .325 pitch What is narrow-kerf and why does it increase cutting speed?Kerf is the width of a cutting face. The wider the cutting face, the more resistance in the cut. By creating a narrow cutting face, SpeedCut saw Chain is able to move through the cut faster than a standard kerf saw Can I put a SpeedCut saw Chain on a standard kerf Guide bar?SpeedCut .325 saw Chain features .050 Drive links, which can be used with any .050 Gauge Guide bar. However, the saw Chain chassis features a narrow-kerf de-sign for less resistance in the cutting material.

10 For best results, Oregon recom-mends matching a SpeedCut saw Chain to a Speedcut , Micro-lite , or Pixel narrow-kerf Guide Why is SpeedCut easier to sharpen?The SpeedCut cutter is designed to mirror the shape of a precision hand filed saw Chain . The Micro chisel cutter features a rounded corner for fast cutting and ease of maintenance. The combination of unique cutter shape and extra large gul-let (the area between the cutting face and depth gauge) results in a cutter that is exceptionally easy to Is SpeedCut available in a full chisel cutter?SpeedCut is not currently available in a narrow-kerf full chisel cutter. Oregon does offer a full-chisel standard kerf .325 saw Chain under the model number Where is SpeedCut made?SpeedCut .325 saw Chain is made in Canada at our Guelph, Ontario manufac-turing What is the recommended filing angle for SpeedCut .325 saw Chain ?Oregon recommends a 3/16 file with a 35 degree top plate angle.
