OILOMATIC® and Harvester Saw Chains

The OILOMATIC® STIHL RAPID™ Micro™ chain has a special cutter shape that reduces cutting friction to a minimum, ensuring fast cutting speed with good efficiency in any type of wood. This special carving chain is more forgiving in dirty conditions than full chisel (RS) chain types due to its cutter shape.

OILOMATIC® STIHL RAPID™ Micro™ is a low-vibration saw chain. The lower vibration levels help reduce operator fatigue.

STIHL RAPID™ Mico™ Full Skip is the skip pattern version of STIHL RAPID™ Micro™. There are two tie straps between every two cutting teeth, allowing better chip discharge and higher chain speed.

STIHL RAPID™ Super 3 is a reduced vibration and low-kickback tendency version of STIHL RAPID™ Super. RS3 is an aggressive full chisel chain, but has a single-humped drive link to reduce kickback tendency and the new cutter and tie strap design reduces vibration levels when cutting. RS3 also features excellent cutting and plunge cutting efficiency.

STIHL RAPID™ Super L Full Skip is the skip pattern, square ground chisel version of STIHL RAPID™ Super. There are two tie straps between every two cutting teeth, allowing better chip discharge and higher chain speed.

STIHL RAPID™ Super Full Skip is the skip pattern version of STIHL RAPID™ Super. There are two tie straps between every two cutting teeth, allowing better chip discharge and higher chain speed.

A special cutter geometry provides excellent control characteristics and very good chip flow, which help enhance cutting efficiency.

OILOMATIC® STIHL RAPID™ Super L Full Skip Klassic is the full-skip pattern version of STIHL RAPID™ Super L Klassic (RSLK). The RSLFK is assembled with each cutter followed by two tie straps instead of one with standard sequence chains.

STIHL RAPID™ Super L Half Skip Klassic is the semi-skip pattern version of STIHL RAPID™ Super L Klassic (RSLK). STIHL RAPID™ Super L Half Skip Klassic alternates cutter spacing to create a chain with cutting and maintenance intensity characteristics between Full Skip (RSLFK) and regular pattern (RSLK).

Carbide tipping of the cutters makes 3/8" STIHL RAPID™ Duro chain specially suitable for cutting dirty wood, treated wood, roots or railroad ties, which would quickly dull conventional chains. This chain must be resharpened with a formed diamond grinding wheel.

The first STIHL carbide-tipped .325" saw chain stays sharp up to four times longer than standard chains. In addition, the STIHL RAPID™ Duro 3 is a low-vibration chain with a reduced kickback tendency.

This saw chain is specially designed for longer cutting edge life resulting in less frequent sharpening. Especially suited for cutting dirty wood, treated wood, roots and hardwoods. This chain must be resharpened with a formed diamond grinding wheel.

STIHL RAPID™ Duro Rescue (RDR) is a STIHL designed chain using the STIHL OILOMATIC® principle. RDR surpasses the durability of former RDS in Rescue applications and has a higher efficiency when cutting wood. This chain is purpose-built for the demanding needs of fire and rescue specialists and is for use by specially trained emergency services personnel only. RDR is the recommended chain for use on the MS 460 R STIHL Magnum® Rescue saw.

PS3 OILOMATIC® STIHL PICCO™ Super 3 has improved cutting and boring efficiency with less feed force and has a 15% longer cutting life when compared to the PM3 saw chain.

STIHL RAPID™ Micro™ Harvester is a specially designed and reinforced version of .404" pitch saw chain. RMH is designed to withstand the stresses of mechanized tree harvesting. Designed for use on hydraulic harvester heads only.

STIHL RAPID™ Micro™ Harvester Special is a significantly reinforced version of the RMH Harvester chain. RMHS is only available in 2.0 mm (.080") gauge. Like RMH chain, RMHS is designed for use on hydraulic harvester heads only. This chain is designed to last longer than competing chains to minimize expensive harvester downtime. An extremely durable harvester chain.
