worn out chain thread

[RI Chevy]

This is about the most worn out chain I have at the moment. Still has a couple more sharpenings left. I'm gonna run it till the cutters start breaking off. View attachment 18693

Why is it still round filed? lol

TriLink semi chisel didn't live to tell a tale of having it's teeth maxed out.


That makes it 2 out of 2 TriLink loops that broke before I managed to wear them out completely.

I have never broken a Oregon/Dolmar loop, it must be something TriLink related.

Call it a 'racing chain' ; those guys are always looking to reduce weight!

I have a Dolmar 099 loop (rebranded Oregon LGX 73 I believe) that is closing in on "triangle teeth" - it is fast!

It makes a very narrow kerf though, I am considering to give polishing/grinding the rivet heads a try.
I have a video of that loop cookie cutting a large oak log, I have to recode the video and upload it to YouTube.

lovely consistent top angles here!

That's pretty good for some, both sides pointing forward is a win!!

Rakers are good to go.
One toof did break off.
That’s the chain that was on my 460 at NY GTG.

Hmmm. You were holding out on me. Lol
Race chain vs. My round file work chain. Blasphemy I say.

Nothing race about this chain, just worn down square filed. The rivets polished themselves.

Reminds me of that pop / gospel song from the '70's:
'One stroke over the line . . . filing away at a chainsaw cutter . . . one stroke over the line . . . . '
