STIHL Rapid Super RS Saw Chain .404″ 1.6 mm
The STIHL Rapid Super RS saw chain in .404″ pitch and 1.6 mm drive link delivers high-performance, full-chisel cutting designed for industrial and heavy-duty chainsaws. Known for its aggressive tooth profile, this chain offers fast and efficient cutting in dense woods and thick logs. With optimized geometry, it reduces friction and enhances feed rate, making it a preferred choice for demanding environments.
Full-chisel cutting power
The square-cornered cutters of the Rapid Super RS chain enable deep bites into wood, reducing operating time on tough material. This configuration provides excellent cutting speed in both hardwood and softwood species while maintaining sharpness with regular files.
Better control and reduced vibration
The design of tie straps and alignment in this chain helps dampen vibration and maintain stability during use. As a result, operators can experience smoother cutting and less fatigue when working on large timber or thick logs.
Geared for professional machines
With its .404″ pitch, this Rapid Super RS variant is tailored for high-powered, commercial chainsaws used in heavy logging, milling, or breakdown work. It balances aggressive cutting with robust strength to endure tough operations.
Sharpening requirements
To keep this chain performing optimally, use precise filing tools and maintain tooth geometry. Consistent and accurate sharpening is necessary to preserve cutting efficiency and avoid uneven wear.
