36" 404 Chain

Overview The STIHL 36" 404 RS Chain (39460050108) is designed for high-performance chainsaw cutting applications requiring aggressive material removal in hard or frozen wood conditions. Specification Detail Manufacturer STIHL MPN 39460050108 Bar Length 36" Pitch .404" Chain Series RAPID Super (RS) Cutter Profile Full-Chisel Technical Features Full-chisel, square-cornered cutter geometry — razor-edged corners minimize chain friction, producing a smooth and clean cut in both hard and frozen wood. Optimized cutter and tie strap design — reduces vibration levels significantly during operation, lowering operator fatigue on extended cuts. RAPID Super (RS) classification — delivers faster cutting speeds compared to RAPID Micro (RM) chain, prioritizing aggressive material removal rate. Plunge-cutting capability — cutter geometry is engineered for both standard and plunge-cutting techniques, expanding on-site versatility. .404" pitch — large-pitch specification suited to high-displacement saws and heavy-duty cutting tasks requiring maximum power transfer. Applications Cutting hard or frozen wood where reduced chain friction and clean cutting geometry are critical. High-production chainsaw operations requiring maximum cutting speed on large-bar, high-displacement saws. Plunge-cutting and boring operations in professional forestry and arborist applications. Compatible with 36" guide bar setups running a .404" pitch chain configuration. Note: The RS full-chisel chain requires precise sharpening and regular maintenance to sustain peak cutting performance. Angle consistency during sharpening is critical to preserving the square-cornered cutter profile.
