Carbide Chains Details

BULLET^® Chain

The BULLET^® Chain is the only chain built from the ground up to hold a carbide tip and engineered specifically for Fire Rescue cutting. All other carbide-tipped chains start with a standard chain saw cutter that has been modified by grinding away some of the cutter in order to hold a carbide tip. This weakens the cutter body and allows for only very narrow backing and soldering surface for the carbide tip.
The BULLET^® Chain raker is shaped like the nose of a bullet to protect the carbide's 180 degree cutting edge. Rather than cutting and slicing, the BULLET^® Chain actually files through materials. This filing action makes the BULLET^® Chain the safest chain, virtually eliminating kickback.
BULLET^® Chain is designed with more cutting surface so it continues cutting even with substantial amounts of carbide broken off.
BULLET^® Chain is the only carbide-tipped chain built to withstand the rigors of prolonged Fire Rescue cutting.

DUAL RAKER Carbide-Tipped Chain
DUAL RAKER Chain uses modified standard chain saw chain cutters with material ground away and a second side-piece riveted on to form a seat for the carbide tip to be soldered to. Compared to B3E and other single raker carbide-tipped chains the backing and soldering surfaces are increased and the additional raker gauge helps protect the carbide tip. DUAL RAKER is the most expensive to repair because the manufacturing technique of soldering on an additional side plate (essentially a second standard chain saw cutter cut in half lengthwise) captures 2 drive links, so a replacement cutter consists of: 1- carbide-tipped cutter, 2-drive links, 2 presets and 2 tie straps. CUTTERS EDGE DUAL RAKER CARBIDE-TIPPED Chain is the same chain as the Tempest “Raptor”. SuperVac “Chisel” and Team Equipment’s“Terminator” Chains.
B3E Carbide-Tipped Chain
B3E Chain is the fastest cutting of all carbide-tipped chains but it loses its cutting speed rapidly when cutting materials other than wood. B3E Chain has low durability when materials other than wood are encountered. B3E Chain uses modified standard chain saw chain cutters with material ground away to form a seat for the carbide tip. B3E Chain, while initially the fastest cutting, can lose its cutting speed quickly as carbide tips are broken easily when material other than wood is cut. CUTTERS EDGE B3E CARBIDE TIPPED Chain is the same chain as Unifire’s “Cobra” and “Sabretooth” Chains.
