What is a Low Kickback Chainsaw Chain?

[@patrickvennard838]

It is really good to hear a British guy explain chain saw tips. have some unguarded 1/4 pitch chain on my 194, it doesn't cut any quicker and I have always filed the cutter away before I touch the depth gauges. There are lots of people on youtube that are really into fast saws which is fun but any saw is heavy after a day's work fast or slow!

All too true!

Great information and examples. Thanks for sharing exactly and quickly what we needed to know.

My pleasure! Thank you 😊

I'll have to check this against my echo chain. When I looked my stock one didn't have this but now that I know what I'm looking for I'll check it against my Oregon LPX chain. Thanks for the video

You're welcome 😊

The Oregon LPX comes in both low kickback and non kickback styles, although the LPX low kickback chain is probably the least effective out of all the semi/micro chisel chains due to its style

I have some different chains. Some have the tab on the drive link behind the raker, but it is the same size and you can't see it when it's straight. So, I guess that kickback tab is only exposed on the tip as it bends around the nose?

Tricky to visualise but maybe? Not all chains have the same low kickback design.
