    I not long got some oregon super chisel from levin saw makers.
    $200 for 25' also running stihl rs and trying some oregon chain that is semi skip.
    All go well.
    Stihl chain is great but fucking expensive even by the roll!

    I buy my chain from these guys in the states.

    If you bought two rolls you could break it up and sell to cover you 100'?

    Working with 300x300 posts today on a very fancy pants entrance feature. One post is 16mm too long (yes it was me who put some "spare" concrete in the bottom of the hole yesterday). Marked it up. Out with the very sharp Stihl MSA-200 battery saw - its all I carry on the truck these days, I don't recall a day in the last fortnight when it hasn't been in use, it's 5 years old and still going like new. Mine only runs a 12" bar, it was all that was in stock when I bought it, and for the mortising work I mainly do it's not a limitation . Anyhoo wacked the end off that 300x300 perfectly true and square, didn't even have touch it with the power plane! Might find the sliver and post you up a pic tomorrow!

    I dont see the same chain listed on wesspur as you posted up.

    Can you send me a link to it?

    It would be amazing if you could buy chain in NZ cheaper than the states.

    It would be amazing if we could buy anything here cheaper than the states... We make a lot of stainless steel forge cast components here, that get exported back to the states for final machining to comply with the 'made in usa' requirements and then we roll on from there paying a huge amount of coin to get the things back when we purchase them to use as imported/manufactured goods! What a piss off when you know.

    Looking at those prices, for once it’s cheaper here as I can get a 100 ft roll of Oregon chain for NZ$695

    Norwoods tractor supplies often sell rolls of chainsaw chain at extremely cheap prices

    Ringing around suppliers pays off at times

    I have 'misplaced' my chain breaker/riveter, so had to get the guys at Terrain make me up a 36 inch and 42 inch chain for this job.

    The 42 inch was just a tad short, but got the job done anyway
