46RSLF 100R SAW CHAIN

Overview

The STIHL 46RSLF 100R Saw Chain (38510051480) is designed for demanding crosscut and bucking applications requiring aggressive, high-speed cutting performance in hard or frozen wood.

Technical Features

• Square-ground chisel cutter profile: Razor-edged, square-cornered geometry minimizes chain friction, producing an exceptionally smooth and clean cut surface in hard or frozen wood.
• Full-skip drive link configuration: An extra drive link and tie strap between each cutter increases the spacing between cutters, enabling better chip discharge and supporting higher sustained chain speeds.
• Reduced cutter count: Fewer cutters per chain compared to standard configurations means less time spent re-sharpening, lowering downtime during extended cutting operations.
• Reduced vibration levels: The full-skip layout distributes cutting forces across fewer, more widely spaced cutters, significantly lowering vibration transmitted to the operator and saw bar.
• Derived from STIHL RAPID Super lineage: Shares the proven RAPID Super engineering foundation with the addition of the full-skip configuration for enhanced performance in specific cutting conditions.

Applications

• Crosscutting and bucking hardwood species where aggressive material removal is required.
• Cutting frozen or cold-hardened wood where chain friction and heat buildup are primary concerns.
• High-volume production cutting where reduced sharpening frequency and faster chip clearance improve overall throughput.
• Professional and commercial chainsaw operations demanding consistent cut quality and lower operator fatigue through reduced vibration.
