Any of you chain junkies want to teach us to "Stone"?

You guys have no clue, this is the proper way to "stone" a chain!


Stone was lodged perfectly centered to my bucking cut inside a logs crack, talk about luck.

Oddly enough the aggressive semi chisel TriLink loop didn't cut much smoother after being "stoned".

If it weren't for bad luck you'd have none at all .
But you were "done" with your cut quicker lol.
Enough getting stoned on the job, back to work.

Video of that contraption running!

I wanna see the conrod slapping around.

I took a cutoff wheel to that so it's no longer an issue. Lol.

I stoned my chain the other day, how much is too much??!!



Stone was lodged inside a hollow branch hole in a firewood log.
Not bad for a modified Vanguard chain nearing the witness mark.

That stinks, good it was a well worn one.
I was cutting a large branch away from a stem about 6' off the ground after a wind storm, ripped like 5 cutters off when I hit a 3/8" chain that was wrapped around the tree some time ago(way under the bark). I figured out why the branch never broke away from the stem .

Years ago, guys at our hunting camp would use railroad spikes to climb up to their tree stands. That would wreck a chain in seconds I suppose.

Probably hard on the trains too, with all those spikes missing from the rails.
