 Any sawmill worker will tell you that a ripping chain is different from all other saw chains. You need a special kind of chain like this for ripping cuts, the kind that transforms raw timber into boards and planks used in homes and cabins. Oregon RipCut is designed specifically for chain-type mills, producing smooth cuts with extreme efficiency. 

• Skip tooth sequence design provides greater clearance for better chip flow - the larger the wood being cut and the longer the bar used, the more important good chip flow becomes.
• RipCut's precise ripping cuts give you a smooth surface every time you cut parallel to the wood grain. RipCut isn't recommended for handheld use, but that suits experienced millwrights just fine.
• 404 pitch Factory ground 10-degree angle cutter tooth makes smoother and more accurate lumber when using Granberg or Alaskan chainsaw mills.
• Sharpens at a 10-degree angle with a 7/32" file (part# Oregon70502)
• Maintain depth gauge at .030 clearance
• A limited supply of 27RA Replaces NLA 27R172 / 27R172G
