In Reply to: Chain saw information posted by 37 chief on December 11, 2023 at 10:20:31:
The most dangerous area of a saw bar to use is the tip and safety chains and certain bars have various devices to lower the possibility of kick back when using the tip. Most consumer bars now have small radius tips which lower kick back. Back to chain, chisel or semi chisel has very little to do with kick back. Much less than the bar tip radius or the anti kickback humps on safety chain. Modern design anti kick back chain cuts just as fast as non kick back chain in bucking cuts meaning unoticeable to the operator. Given a stopwatch and laboratory conditions It is a bit slower. It will not bore as fast, nor will it rip as fast due to the space between the links being taken up by the safety devices.
Safety is your question and the bottom line is cutter type isn't the determining factor, anti kick back features and bar tips determine that.
