I have to respectfully disagree - in my experience, it is indeed quite difficult to use #25 chain reliably if you're limited to chop saw/drill press-type construction. It is really quite sensitive to alignment. I know I'm not the only one who has come to this conclusion, as well.

If your team is very good at machining, go for it, but I think telling teams that "the challenges are often overstated" is likely to cause people a lot of undue frustration.
