Leading manufacturers of household and professional chainsaw equipment offer a range of latest models with universal properties. With a wide selection of chainsaw attachments, you can use the tool's working capabilities with greater efficiency.
A significant part of a fairly expensive household tool is used from time to time. The use of a chainsaw as a drive for several types of replaceable equipment makes it possible to mechanize labor-intensive chores with less material costs.
The list of operational capabilities of chainsaws has been expanded and successfully implemented due to removable additional equipment. It includes nozzles and devices for various purposes.
Most of assortment of nozzles is focused on the complete set of branded models. The possibilities of budget chainsaws in this regard are very limited.
- Even a small set allows you to mechanize a significant part of the chores associated with the special processing of wood and metal, drilling wells, caring for ornamental shrubs.
- The use of the saw as a boat motor, lawn trimmer, power cutter or household compressor.
- The efficiency of the use of replaceable equipment is facilitated by stable traction characteristics and the efficiency of power units, the adaptation of branded chainsaw equipment to difficult climatic factors.
In practice, it has been proven that chainsaws of leading brands can be successfully operated in a wide temperature range.
Combination of angle grinder and power cutter
Universal nozzle the grinder is driven from the drive shaft of the drive sprocket by means of a V-belt drive. The device is attached to the saw body with studs designed for fixing saw bar.
The diameter of the emery wheel is selected depending on the engine power and the features of the work to be done. Nozzle petrol cutter UShM-1 perfectly copes with abrasive cutting of natural and artificial tile-facing materials, metals, cleaning of welding joints.
UShM-1 works with standard and diamond wheels up to 20 cm in diameter, with a bore of 22 mm. An abrasive nozzle for cutting metal can be a good addition to the tools of a home workshop or a small car service equipment.
Chainsaw as a drive for a light boat
The popular "Outboard Motor" attachment is activated by means of a gearbox and pulley extension, which is mounted instead of drive sprocket. Depending on the engine power, a boat equipped with a two- or three-blade propeller can pick up speed up to 20 km / h.
Drilling and compressor equipment
Simple design and easy-to-use ice screw attachment winter time used in fish farms to supply air to frozen ponds. The effectiveness of the use of combined equipment has been confirmed in practice.
Lightweight, compact and sufficiently productive ice drill is included in the equipment kit for amateur winter fishing. As a result of natural selection, a high demand for the most successful developments has stabilized.
In particular, excellent operational properties characterized by a motor drill MB-2 Ice. The nozzle is driven through a reduction gear that reduces the shaft speed to 150 rpm. This model differs from similar analogs by the minimum installation time, ranging from 5 to 10 minutes.
Replaceable nozzle compressor in terms of performance is inferior to many mobile units household class. Nevertheless, for aeration of small stocked reservoirs, the operation of pneumatic paint saws and sprayers, its performance is more than enough.
Interchangeable equipment for working with wood
Milling and drum nozzles for removing tree bark and cleaning construction wood from surface irregularities are represented by several types.
The most famous models are Bark beetle and Debarker, with a working grip from 80 to 100 mm. The Koroder nozzle is specialized in extended cutting of construction wood. With it, you can plan logs, cut out cups and mounting grooves.
The equipment is used in wooden construction for pre-assembly processing of industrial wood. Products are equipped with removable knives that can be easily dismantled for sharpening cutting edges and a set of elongated threaded fasteners. The bark beetle nozzle is activated from a pulley, which is installed instead of the drive sprocket.
With the appropriate drive power, the bark attachments can be used to remove knots, sharpen stakes, create corner locks log cabins.
With fine tuning, the bark beetle interchangeable device can be used as a planer attachment. The quality of the surface treatment of construction wood is determined by the sharpening of the cutting edges of the replaceable knives.
Devices for longitudinal sawing of construction wood
V standard version, for longitudinal and diagonal cutting of wood are used with a certain sharpening angle. No less efficient and productive special devices.
Sufficiently durable in operation nozzle for ripping, which does an excellent job of sawing logs and boards, costs about 2,000 rubles. This is the approximate cost of four saw chains, which have a very limited lifespan.
Replaceable household equipment
This list includes devices designed for the care of ornamental shrubs and lawns. Attachment "Brushcutter" will help to put in order a living fence or for a short time clear the area of young growth.
The removable rotary trimmer attachment is inferior to a household lawn mower only in terms of ease of operation. Its design allows you to process lawn areas with enough high quality and extremely tight deadlines.
Traction devices
The cable “Winch” installed on a powerful chainsaw is characterized by wide functionality. The traction force of the nozzle varies in the range up to 2 tons, the radius of action is up to 30 meters.
In the operational capabilities of the traction device:
- skidding of fallen trees;
- pulling out stuck vehicles;
- lifting work and movement of non-standard cargo by dragging or using rollers;
- plowing heavy soils on hard-to-reach land for tractor equipment.
Willingly complete their cars with chainsaws with winch equipment motorists living in regions with bad roads.
Chainsaw as a pumping unit
autonomy petrol drive highly valued in areas of irrigated agriculture. Compact and mobile pumping units are effectively used to supply water to areas located at a great distance from power sources.
Such devices are in particular demand in private and small-scale production farms, for irrigating crop areas, as well as drawing water from wells and artesian wells.
Alternative developments
As the popularity of replacement chainsaw equipment grows, new options are being developed. The list of proposals was replenished with several types of removable nozzles Wood splitter. The device is a rotating conical rod with a screw thread.
Advantages of interchangeable nozzles
In the first case, there is a significant savings on the purchase of a set of household tools for various purposes.
- The price of several nozzles is 2-3 times less than the cost of a standard set. In terms of functionality, many branded models are not inferior to highly specialized ones. household analogues.
- Replaceable nozzles for chainsaw equipment occupy less space, prompt replacement of a standard saw bar with any interchangeable equipment, if you have the skills and the appropriate tool, is done within a few minutes.
- The use of nozzles increases the payback of the chainsaw several times. The tool that is most often used for harvesting fuel wood can be used to solve many household and construction problems.
Flaws
Technical and performance characteristics chainsaws are focused on a given level of workloads and special operating modes. Some owners of prestigious professional chainsaws oppose the use of attachments.
Refusal is motivated by necessity long work engines at maximum speed, in some cases - a lack torque forced reduction of overhaul life.
As a result of the conducted studies, safe for the resource and technical condition models of cable winches, bark cleaners, wood splitters and compressors were recognized as nozzles.
- In particular, work with angle grinders, the air intake filter is intensively clogged.
- Installation of boat equipment and pump nozzle involves long time operating a high-speed chainsaw engine at maximum speed.
These shortcomings are partially or fully compensated by the increased wear resistance of modern power units, an increase in the actual motor resource of chainsaws from 1500 to 2000 or more hours. The use of heat-resistant branded motor oils also positively affects the durability of engines.
The Stihl company produces not only chainsaws and lawn mowers, but also Consumables for them. In this article we will talk about Stihl saw chains, their types, markings, characteristics, and compare them with competitors.
All Stihl chains are marked, thanks to which they can be identified and determined for which chainsaw models and types of work they are intended.
The name of the chain model must indicate its length (number of links), pitch and width. The type is also specified. Type is an internal brand designation, thanks to which the company's specialists can determine the type and shape of the cutting tooth, the dimensions of the link and connecting elements. The designation may be full or may be abbreviated capital letters, such as a Picco Micro 3 circuit, abbreviated as PM3.
An ordinary user, in principle, does not need such information, because in order to choose the right headset, it is enough to know the characteristics of the chainsaw, the planned volume and types of work.
For ease of choice, there is an electronic consultant on the Stihl website that automatically generates a list of chains suitable for a particular chainsaw model.
The service is convenient and understandable, but it has one big minus, you can select chains only for. If you have a different chainsaw, then you will have to search by characteristics and name, which is not very convenient, because the list of models is quite large.
Below we offer you to watch a short, but interesting and informative video clip about Stihl chains, their production process and quality control.
Now let's look at specific models of Stihl chains, their marking, characteristics and purpose.
Picco Micro (PM)
Low profile Stihl chain recommended by the manufacturer for use on lightweight chainsaws and loppers. A feature of the chain is a soft cut, with reduced recoil. It has four versions, which differ in the number of links. This:

It can be used with both professional, semi-professional and household models of chainsaws.
1/4″ Rapid Micro Spezial (RMS), 1.3 mm
Designed specifically for curly cut on wood. A distinctive feature is the shortened upper edge of the tooth, thanks to which the saw does not need to be pressed in order for the chain to cut into the wood. It is characterized by high speed and smoothness when performing curved cuts compared to conventional chains with a similar 1/4″ pitch. Available in two versions:
- 1/4 Rapid Micro Spezial, 1.3mm(56);
- 1/4 Rapid Micro Special, 1.3mm(64).
Rapid Micro chain series
The Rapid Micro chain range includes about 10 types, each of which has an average of three versions with different characteristics pitch and width. Chains of the Rapid Micro series are united by the shape of the tooth and the quality of the steel. They are recommended for use on Stihl chainsaws operating in agriculture(semi professional). Short designation RM.
Rapid Super (RS) line
This line is designed for professionals. Of course, no one forbids the use of such chains on household models chainsaws, but their cost is slightly higher than conventional chains, for example, Picco Micro 3 will cost much less.
According to the manufacturer, Rapid Super are able to work for a long time without sharpening and their performance is not just high, but extremely high. Such a headset easily copes with heavily polluted or frozen wood. If you look at the options, it becomes clear that this chain is definitely not for light and compact chainsaws. Maximum size, released for sale - 105 links, which is almost twice as long as the chain on Stihl MS 180.
Rapid Duro 3 (RD3), 1.6 mm
This line of Stihl chains has an increased resource due to the use of special hard alloys in them. Designed for use in agriculture, i.e. recommended for floor professional models Calm. There are quite a few options. Rapid Duro 3 (RD3), 1.6mm available in 0.325, 3/8 or 0.404" pitch. The most expensive chain in this line costs about 2500 rubles. and has a length of 66 links.

All prices that we announced in the article are taken from the official website of the company.
We offer you to watch a video that shows a comparative test of Stihl saw chains. The video is in English, but it shows that a concrete insert is poured into the tree trunk on which the cut speed test is being carried out. A regular headset can't cope even with three cuts, while a special one makes more than 10 cuts and remains operational.
Which rip chain to use
From users of chainsaws, the question often comes up: which chain is suitable for longitudinal sawing and whether there are chains specially designed for this purpose.
On the this moment there are no chains specially designed for sawing a tree trunk along, and most likely there will not be, since any saw chain can be used for this purpose. The difference between a conventional headset and a longitudinal one is the sharpening angle.
With the help of a straightening machine, you can make a special one out of a regular headset - facilitating a longitudinal cut. Information on how exactly this is done can be found on our website.
Which chain is better Calm or Oregon
It is quite difficult to choose which chain is better, Calm or Oregon, because they are almost the same in quality. The Oregon company, like Stihl, specializes in their production and invests in development, constantly improving and releasing new models.
If compared at the user level, the Oregon is a little softer, they dull faster, but they are lighter. Shtilevsky - almost all are hardened, the metal is hard to sharpen, but holds the edge a little longer.
Interesting. According to experts, the quality of the headset is relative. Many users first use used engine oil for lubrication, and then they say that this or that model and brand of chain is of poor quality, although the cause of premature wear lies in the metal chips that are contained in any used oil, even that which had time to settle before filling.
Reasons for breaking the saw set
Sometimes, while working with a chainsaw, the headset can break. This phenomenon is not frequent, but occurs from time to time. There can be several reasons, the first and most common is heavy wear. During operation, the edges rub against the tire, as a result, the metal is gradually erased and the chain, unable to withstand the load, breaks.
Important! The use of high-quality adhesive oils can significantly extend the life of the saw set.
The second reason is the untimely replacement of the drive sprocket and saw bar or their replacement separately. According to the recommendations given by manufacturers, the saw set, tire and drive sprocket should be changed as a set. This will prevent wear, stretching and tearing as a result of increased loads.
Third, this is marriage at. The disk of the machine rotates at high speeds, and if the depth of the groove is set incorrectly or for some reason the working stroke of the machine increases, then a fraction of a second is enough to cut the edges of the connecting link. If after sharpening you do not control its quality and the presence of cut links, then in the process of working under load, the cut link may break.
The fourth and last is the defect of the rivets. A common cause of a broken chain is incorrect connection or reuse of connecting links. If your cutting headset is torn, then information about that will be very useful.
Sharpening machine Stihl
In conclusion, a little about grinding machine Calm. To date, the USG machine is presented on the official website of the company. Sharpening on the machine works automatically, and the feed is carried out manually. The machine is capable of sharpening not only cutting edge working tooth, but also a depth limiter, which is impossible to do on similar machines of competitors. For more information about the Stihl grinding machine and its operation, see the video.
Conclusion
The Shtil company produces high-quality chains for its chainsaws and pruners, which are popular among both professionals and ordinary users. Compared to competitors, Stihl chains are slightly stronger, but harder to handle. manual sharpening, which is not very good for ordinary users, because for sharpening you have to contact a service center.
How to choose the right chain STIHL .
Saw chains have several basic parameters. Based on them, you can choose a chain that is guaranteed to fit your saw.
Chain pitch. It is usually measured in inches. Sometimes 3/8”, 0.325”, 0.404”, ¼”. If you need a chain with a 3/8” pitch, be aware that two completely different chains are made with this pitch - low profile and full profile.
Chain link thickness. Must match the slot width of the bar with which this chain will work. It happens 1.1mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm.
The number of chain links. Determines the length of the chain and, accordingly, the length of the bar.
If you choose the right parameters - the chain will fit your tire exactly.
But chains also differ in types. Some cut faster, some are safer, some are more comfortable, some are adapted to special cutting conditions, and so on. The differences are in the shape of the cutting tooth, connecting links, intermediate links and materials used for the manufacture of these parts, the thickness of the cutting part of the chain, etc.
Almost all types of chains offered by STIHL are presented on the website. The chains are combined into groups in which chains of different lengths are identical in parameters. As you can see, there are more than 20 of these types. Short description is for everyone. And what's more, Stihl produces chains of such a wide range that you can always find the right one not only for STIHL saws, but also for any other saws. And usually several types.
If such a variety makes you yawn - call or come to us. We will tell you and select the right STIHL chain. And we will show you how to serve saw chains how to use them most effectively. Yes, we can help sharpen it.
Now almost everyone has a chainsaw, but many use it only for intended purpose. Harvesting firewood, pruning, all these works are carried out, as a rule, no more than once a year, the rest of the time the chainsaw gathers dust on the garage shelf, but this is not right. The chainsaw can be used as a power unit for various devices, which will be discussed in this article.
On sale there are special nozzles for chainsaws, with the help of which the functionality of the tool is significantly increased.
Using additional equipment from a chainsaw, you can make a wood splitter, it will help to cope with chocks that are problematic to split with an ax or outboard motor, for walks on a rubber boat.
In fact, the attachments are necessary in order to get the most out of the chainsaw, so that it does not gather dust on the shelf, but is used daily for a wide variety of tasks.
Installation of nozzles does not require special education or skills, everything is simple and easy.
What are the nozzles for a chainsaw
To date, developed by manufacturers and commercially available big choice chainsaw attachment. More specifically, for your saw you can buy:
- Boat motor attachment.
- winch.
- pump.
- Motobur.
- Wood splitter.
- Device for cutting boards.
If you like to make something with your own hands, then the saw will also be a great helper, because it can be used as a power unit for your inventions. For example, the video below shows how you can make a go-kart for your child from a simple chainsaw. It is very interesting and not as difficult as it seems.
And in next video shows a homemade snow blower powered by a chainsaw. The idea is very good, but the snow blower is a little unfinished, but still able to facilitate the cleaning of the territory of a private house.
Now we will consider each of the nozzles in more detail, we will deal with the pros and cons of using it, we will conclude how the use of the device affects the resource of the chainsaw and its performance.
boat motor
The nozzle is designed for installation on small rubber boats with a transom. Specifications:
- The gear ratio of the gearbox is 1:2.
- The maximum speed in still water is 20 km/h.
- Three-blade screw with a diameter of 150 mm.
- Fuel consumption 1 liter per hour.
- Assembled weight 8 kg.
Such characteristics make it possible to use the nozzle for those who do not need a high speed of movement through the water, but simply get from point "A" to point "B". It is popular with fishermen, because it is light and compact, it is included in the trunk of a car.
All necessary fasteners are supplied with the nozzle. There is an instruction for installation of the nozzle and its correct use.
The main advantage of using such a chainsaw attachment is saving on the purchase of a boat motor.
You can find out how to install a chainsaw on a boat motor attachment by watching the video.
Winch
Another useful attachment for a chainsaw is a winch. With it, you can lift loads weighing up to one and a half tons. Conventional electric winch, requires a electric current, which significantly reduces its capabilities. Chainsaw with winch can be used anywhere.
Having such a nozzle on the preparation of firewood, you can load tree trunks, crossed into several chocks. Also, if necessary, such a nozzle will allow you to pull out the stuck a car not suitable for trucks.
The cost of a chainsaw winch is a bit more expensive than an electric winch, but its portability and ease of use make up the difference.
There are several models of winches for chainsaws on sale, which may differ in cable length, size and weight. On average, the length of the cable is about 30 meters, the weight is not more than 12 kg.
This is interesting: using a plow with a winch for a chainsaw, you can process land plot while expending a minimum of effort.
How to plow the land with a chainsaw and a winch is shown in the video. Advantages this method that in this way it is possible to cultivate the land for suburban areas where there is no electricity connection.
water pump
To pump out water from a flooded cellar, pump up a tank of water for irrigation from a well, or simply pump water from one place to another, a special nozzle called a chainsaw pump will help.
The device is quite simple and does not require special skills to install on a saw. Its advantage is mobility and connection speed. In addition to the nozzle, you will need to purchase hoses. Pumps, like other lotions on the saw, are produced by several manufacturers, so they can have different performance and other characteristics.
This nozzle is universal and can be installed on chainsaws of various models and brands. For those who are not used to paying for additional equipment for a chainsaw, you can make a pump with your own hands.
Motobur
Another nozzle useful in everyday life is a motor drill (ice drill). There are a lot of options for this console, there are also home-made ones. It can be useful not only for amateurs winter fishing, because with it you can drill holes for installing fence posts.
The advantage compared to electric options is mobility, as the drill can be used regardless of the availability of electricity.
Important! To install the drill nozzle, you will need to remove the standard clutch and drive sprocket from the chainsaw, for which you need to lock the crankshaft. You can find information on how to properly remove the clutch from a chainsaw on our website.
Included with the drill for the saw is an adapter sleeve that is installed instead of the drive sprocket.
wood splitter
Thick chocks are difficult to split with an ax; to facilitate the process, a wood splitter attachment can be installed on a chainsaw. It is screwed into a chock and, due to its conical shape, splits it.
The nozzle is universal and can work on various models chainsaw User reviews about this device are positive, because it really facilitates the process of splitting large chocks.
The cost of the wood splitter nozzle is acceptable, at the moment it does not exceed 1000 rubles. You can buy on specialized sites or in petrol equipment stores. Installation of this lotion does not require certain skills, manufacturers attach instructions.
Jointer
If you need to plan a small number of boards, but you do not have a specialized machine, then a jointer attachment will help you do this.
The prefix is mounted on standard bolts for attaching the tire; instead of the clutch, a drive pulley is installed on which the belt is put on. Through the belt, a force is transmitted from the drive pulley to the driven pulley, which causes the cutter shaft with two knives to rotate.
The system is very simple and reliable, the quality of processing depends on the maximum number of revolutions of the chainsaw on which it is installed.
In order to compensate for the lack of load on the engine at the time of using the jointer nozzle, you can slightly reduce the maximum number of revolutions. You can find instructions for adjusting the chainsaw carburetor on our website.
The nozzle is not universal, for its operation it is required to replace the drive sprocket with a pulley, the mounts for all chainsaws are different. Therefore, when buying, you need to consult and choose the nozzle model suitable for your chainsaw.
bark beetle
Another attachment for a chainsaw, which is designed to clean tree trunks from bark.
It is very similar to a jointer, fastened in the same way and has two pulleys and a belt. The main difference is that there is no stop bar on the bark beetle, which prevents the knives from deepening, as a result of which they only remove a certain amount of chips.
Bulgarian
One of the most popular nozzles, about which users leave only positive reviews, is a grinder, or it is also called an angle grinder, but it is not, because it is intended only for cutting.
Attaches to a regular place on the tire. Not universal, it is selected for the chainsaw model for which it is intended. Not expensive and easy to use. Consists of the following elements:
- drive pulley;
- frames;
- driven pulley with shaft and disc mount;
- force transmitting belt;
- protection.
The simplicity of design and standard grinder consumables (disks) made this attachment very popular. Its advantage is mobility, the ability to use in places where there is no electricity.
In place of the cutting disc for metal, which is shown in the photo, you can install carbide for cutting concrete and use a saw with a nozzle as a wall chaser.
Advice. When working with a grinder nozzle, the engine experiences a significant load, so it is not recommended for chainsaws with a power of less than 2 kW.
The following video shows how to assemble, install, configure and operate the attachment. The video shows that a 1.5 kW chainsaw can not cope with the load, drawdowns in speed are noticeable. To prevent this from happening again, use more powerful saws.
Nozzles for chainsaws Stihl and Husqvarna
There is no special nozzle that would fit only the Stihl chainsaw and have any unique functionality that others do not have. Everything that can be installed on Stihl saws has analogues for other chainsaws, the same with Husqvarna chainsaws. For this reason, when choosing a chainsaw, you should not pay attention to the advice of sellers regarding the purchase of a particular model, due to the possibility of installing additional equipment on it that expands the functionality.
The only thing you should pay attention to when choosing is power, because it is recommended to have a more powerful chainsaw to work with attachments.
What devices can be made by hand
Many "garage" craftsmen do not spend money on the purchase of chainsaw attachments, but make them on their own. In fact, there is nothing complicated in them and almost everything can be made by hand. All that is needed for this is welding machine, emery and the necessary knowledge and experience, spare parts from old tools and mechanisms can also come in handy, for example: chains, belts, pulleys, shafts, etc.
On the Internet, you can find information on how to make a grinder nozzle, pump, winch or drill. In order to dispel doubts, we suggest watching a video showing a homemade nozzle for a Stihl chainsaw made from an old fishing drill.
Board cutting tool
In conclusion of the article, I would like to mention such a device as a frame for cutting boards with a chainsaw. In fact, this is a mini sawmill that you can assemble on your site, install a chainsaw in it and dissolve tree trunks on boards.
There are a lot of options for sawmills from chainsaws, there are factory ones, such as LOGOSOL, there are home-made ones. We invite you to watch a video about the work of a home-made, budget sawmill from a chainsaw.
Conclusion
A chainsaw is capable of performing not only a transverse or longitudinal cut of a tree, it enables creativity and inventions on its basis of many useful tools and devices in the household, makes it possible to facilitate everyday work or even relax for pleasure.
Remember that using homemade nozzles for a chainsaw, you should be careful not to overload its engine, you should also not forget about safety precautions, because all responsibility in case of injury lies with you.
