Sword Saw Longitudinal Cut Chain for SSU 200

Functions

A replacement longitudinal-cut chain for the Festool SSU 200 sword saw — the chain optimised specifically for rip cuts along the grain of solid timber rather than cross-cuts or universal use. The tooth geometry is set up for cutting with the wood fibres, where chip clearance and aggressive feed rate matter more than tooth count. Use this chain when the SSU 200 is rip-cutting framing timber, dimensional lumber, beams or laminated structural members along the length of the grain. Compared to the universal chain, the longitudinal-cut chain feeds faster through long rip cuts and clears chips more efficiently — important when the cut is metres long and heat build-up becomes the limiting factor. A genuine Festool replacement chain, sharpened and tensioned to the specification of the SSU 200. Timber framers, restoration carpenters and heavy-construction tradies who rip framing stock with the SSU 200 carry both chains — universal for cross-cuts and general work, longitudinal for the long rips where the right chain saves real time on the job.
