23RS Chainsaw Chain 325" 050"

Overview

The STIHL Rapid Super Chainsaw Chain (3690005 0067) is designed for high-speed cutting applications requiring aggressive performance in hard or frozen wood conditions.

Technical Features

• Full chisel, razor-edged square-cornered cutter geometry — minimizes chain friction for a smooth, clean cut in hard or frozen wood.
• Optimized cutter and tie strap design — reduces vibration levels significantly during operation, improving operator comfort and control over extended use.
• Faster cutting speed than RM chain — the RS designation indicates this chain is engineered for aggressive, high-throughput cutting performance.
• .325" pitch and .050" gauge — ensures compatibility with guide bars and drive sprockets specified for these dimensions.

Applications

• Hard and frozen wood cutting — the full chisel cutter profile is specifically suited to dense or cold timber where cutting resistance is high.
• Plunge cutting — the chain's geometry supports efficient plunge-cutting technique for felling, bucking, and milling operations.
• High-volume production cutting — superior cutting speed relative to RM chain makes this chain appropriate where cycle time and throughput are priorities.

Note: The Rapid Super chain requires careful and precise sharpening and regular maintenance to sustain its rated cutting performance. Improper sharpening of the full chisel cutter profile will reduce cutting efficiency.
