Chain production.
The manufacture of the many individual components can certainly be described as mass production. Production of this nature also demands special technologies.
After stamping the steel band, which requires quite specific demands on the tools used, the rivet holes are polished to a shining, mirror finish. This process is specific to STIHL and ensures easy movement of the chain.
Before the individual components are assembled and permanently joined by cold-headed rivets, the "shoulders" of the teeth are chrome-plated and the cutting geometry is ground.
