STIHL 36 GBM Diamond Abrasive Chain: A Better Way to Cut Concrete
The STIHL 36 GBM is one of STIHL's leading diamond abrasive chains. It is built for strong cutting performance and speed, with a pre-sharpened diamond segment on every link, so it is ready to work on concrete and stone right away.
Key Features:
- Fast Cutting: Its innovative diamond segment design gives the 36 GBM quick cutting performance.
- Smooth Cuts: The diamond segments reduce vibration for smoother cuts and greater cutting efficiency.
- Better Plunge Cutting: A depth gauge positioned between the diamond segments increases chain durability and improves plunge cutting.
- Extended Life: The "sandwich" segment layout helps the chain cut faster and last longer, resulting in better cutting efficiency.
- Expected Service Life: Can cut approximately 40-80 linear feet of six-inch-thick concrete (actual chain life may vary depending on aggregates and steel reinforcement).
- Size Options: Available in 12-inch and 16-inch lengths for different cutting applications.
Important Note:
The 36 GBM is made specifically for the GS 461 STIHL ROCK BOSS® concrete cutter and the STIHL ROLLOMATIC® G guide bar. Do not use it on any other STIHL equipment, including chainsaws.
Approved Materials:
- Concrete
- Reinforced concrete (with rebar up to ½ inch)
- Cinder blocks
- Masonry (including bricks, asphalt, and softer stones such as sandstone)
- Hard stones like granite
- Ductile iron pipe
Caution: Cutting hard stone and ductile iron pipe will shorten the life of the chain.
