Only made a couple of cuts with a new one and it did seem slow. I touched up the teeth but didn't check raker depth. Can anything be done to speed it up?
From what I can tell, 99% are made up or fantasy. If I had not personally seen an unexplainable or three I'd think they were 100% made up or fantasy. Bored country folks seem to see more UFOs, ghosts, Bigfoots, Elvis and Jimmy Hoffas than anyone.
The Granberg chain has a narrow "scoring tooth" between each full width "cutting tooth". I've read the way is to file the rakers for the scoring tooth 10 thousandths lower (may have this backwards). Anyone tweeked this chain something like this?
Dial adjuster on mine does the opposite. Chain starts loosening or won't tighten when the screw that holds the adjustment wheel thingie on the bar backs itself off. Retighten and it's good as new, for a little while.
I got a WT215 and a pop up for my ms180 a while back. Soon as it gives me a reason I'll swap out the carb and advance the timing. I've since learned that a pop up piston doesn't always increase performance and sometimes hurts it, so may not bother doing that. Anyone in here put a pop up in a...
Granberg makes a ripping chain that isn't expensive, seems to stay sharp and isn't hard to sharpen. Definitely set that longer bar up for milling. I have a 32" bar for milling and occasional large fells. 26" is the max width I can mill with it if I remove the dogs.
Definitely one of the interlocked grain species ( gum, sycamore, elm.....). Only 5 times harder to split if slabbed first. I've got a face cord of Gum stacked that took 2 hours to split the old fashioned way.
Any OEM 044 cylinder will work. Any OEM 044 12mm piston will work. There are OEM cylinders to be had off Ebay for ~$100.
I got one from this seller awhile back and it was as advertised.

Chisel for sure, sized to the width of cut. You'll need a chisel to clean the corners out after using a power tool, anyway. By the time you got a power tool set up you'd be finished with a chisel, unless you're doing a dozen of them.
