Made myself a loop of archer .325 full comp chisel chain and did some milling.
Saw and sprocket used
Dolmar 144 ( 90cc saw) & 10 tooth sprocket
Bar size - 44" hardnose
Chain - ground 10° cutter, rakers 6° and hook angle at 60.
The bad -
Very big kerf for .325, comparable to 3/8
Chain ground to specs very easily
The good -
Teeth stayed sharp through multiple 6' slabs, at approx 35" width. Would have resharpened low pro 3/8th at least once for same yield.
Speed, it was fast. Way faster than .404 8 tooth on same saw. Do the maths and chain speed is very close between 404 8 tooth and 325 10 tooth.
Finish was probably the best I have ever achieved with an Alaskan. Almost up to logosol standards.
So for the moment I am liking this chain, have to do a lot more to see how the chrome holds up though.
Will get some pics up tomorrow or day after.
