Or save that chain for play with a real strong saw

That's a good idea. Its only 84 dl so might try to make a race chain.

So for 99cc saw , which would you run for *s-words and grins racing? 404 .050 20" bar and 8 tooth sprocket or .375 050 20" bar 9 tooth sprocket.

.375 with 9 or 10 tooth. Narrower kerf than .404

Thanks Kevin, that's what I figured.

Been a while since I posted in here but here is my square filed chain at work. In the third cut I didn't push on the Saw, I gotta hit the rakers because it's not feeding on its own the way I would like. All in all though I really like how it feels, very smooth. My 357 likes it too, that little Saw makes me smile every time I run it.

Nice. Got a photo of the tooth?
Saw sounds like its turbo charged. [emoji106]

I know, I screwed up. I gotta go back and try again.
The videos done make it look fairly easy. Lol

Thanks, my DIY woods port got her going pretty good I think. I'll post a pic of the cutters when I get home tonight around 1930. You'll get there man, try to keep the corner of the file lined up with the corner of the cutter. It's not easy, just keep practicing and before you know it you'll be "square"...lol

What you do with vanguard chain once it quits cutting.

 

[Hedgerow]

80% tooth + garbage raker = square corner/forward lean/intersecting line on the low side.
That POS self feeds now!!! Did that one on the grinder. Pink wheel.
Too bad it won't last long.

Here's a couple hungry ones I just did for a 3120.
