Don’t Use the Wrong Chainsaw Chain – See Why It Matters

🪓 Don’t Use the Wrong Chainsaw Chain – See Why It Matters 🔧

Choosing the right chainsaw chain isn’t just about speed — it’s about using the right tool for the job. In this video, I compare two very different chains:
✅ A standard cutting chain — Husqvarna X-Cut SP33G
✅ A ripping chain — made for sawmills, with a shallow tooth angle

We’ll put both chains to the test on real logs and see exactly how they perform. Watch how the tooth angle, cutting style, and end result changes depending on which chain you use — and why using the wrong one can ruin your cut.

📌 In this video you’ll learn:
✅ The key differences between cutting chains and ripping chains
✅ Why tooth angle matters: 10° vs. 30-35°
✅ Which chain is better for cross-cutting vs. ripping logs
✅ How ripping chains produce smoother boards for sawmills
✅ What happens when you use the wrong chain for the wrong job

🎥 Filmed in Finland with real-world chainsaw work, no theory — just results.
