The nose actually revolves on precision-ground high-grade steel roller bearings (shown above in cutaway picture). And by reducing friction between bar and chain, the Roller-Bearing Nose increases chain speed up to three times, boosting actual cutting horsepower up to 20 per cent! Because of the faster chain speed, you can fell, buck and limb more timber in less time than ever before. And the reduced wear on chain and bar increases the life of both, an important money-saving factor!
The spectacular Roller-Bearing Nose is another power-boosting exclusive on the Remington line of Mall chain saws. No other make has it!
