Dirty Wood

I searched for RSK on fleabay and first thing that came up was a used 30" loop which I could use. Anyone have pics of the factory grind?

Today I ran the tip across the dirty top so that it was pulling to clean it, then bucked it

Did your chain hold its edge better than otherwise?

For sure…there was desert clay and sand caked on there and hardened.

Still only get a few cuts between sharpening

I cut cable skidded logs almost always. Technique was mentioned but never really explained well.

I plunge cut almost every round using 404 semi chisel and a HARDNOSED bar as it bores much easier than a roller tip. Start at about 2 O clok position just below the top of the log, plunge until the tip is very near the far side, cut all the way to the bottom, then push the tip through and throw all the dirt away from the power head cutting the top last. The added benefit is you will never pinch the bar on a big log either since it is still attached at the top.

Too bad this guys is just demonstrating on pecker poles.

Typical log landing wood.

If you have an XS saw with xtra horsetorques, you can plunge in at 2 o'clock thru to 8 o'clock and then rotate the powerhead down, spitting chips and dirt off the top and bottom of the bar at the same time. :-D

You get that 300 grit CBN ?

Got it

Looks very nice

Fiddling forthcoming

I only did one cutter

And then got my grubby mitt on it

 

[davidwyby]

It’s finer…but I think factory stihl is finer still

Reading this with interest, as I have some small stumps in the yard that get in the way of mowing that I need to remove. Cutting them down to ground level is going to be as hard on the chain as digging down and cutting the roots.

If you don’t have to hurry, clear the dirt away with a shovel and spray them off with a hose.
