What type of chain is used on the VentMaster?
The VentMaster features the exclusive Raptor Carbide chain. It is a .404 (also available in .375) pitch; .063-gauge chain built to Tempest’s specifications and it is designed to cut through many materials encountered during fire and rescue operations. It features a dual, open raker design, which provides extra protection for the carbide cutter and allows the chain to self-clean and ventilate. It also features a wide gullet, which allows the saw to cut more material, faster than narrow gullet saws. These features also reduce the heat build up during heavy metal cutting. The Raptor Carbide Chain stays sharper longer and retains cutter life longer than other carbide chains used by the fire service.
