Stihl Milling Chain

[Danny_S]

I bought a Stihl filing kit and on the back of the package was this chart...


Has anyone used the 46rcx chain? I assume it is for milling as it is filed at 10 deg. Anyone know more about this chain? My local stihl dealer didnt really know anything about it,.. not too many chainmillers around here...

I know a bit about milling chains, not a lot but a little bit about them, but I  do know that 10 degrees is the most agressive angle you would be able to use on a milling chain, so yes you do have a milling chain but no I havent used that particular brand of it. the chain I used for milling is one I made myself with a file and an Oregon 72 chain.round chisel full comp chain.

RCK
I haven't seen it but I would guess that it is full comp chisel chain similar to Oregons RD.

It is RCX, it is a bad scan picture.

I did a search on google and Logosol mentions different stihl chains to use, RCX, PMX, RMX..... this is the translated link....

The oregon 73 RD works good but I am just trying some research to see what else is available.

They may be going through some code changes or it may be a relatively new chain, I'm not sure.
I haven't seen it listed anywhere but at the link you provided.
It looks like it might only be available in .404/.063
