Fixed.

Trying to mount those without removing the side cover?

Lots of meat left; looks like they just need a preset and tie strap. Also look like pretty aggressive 'hook' angles.

Yes. Also that chain took a few licks is the reason the cutters are shaped that way. I ground under trying to fix the side plates.

 

[jakethesnake]

They’re almost all gone.

It was shot to start with so I used it more. The bomber of teeth was hilarious. I’d file them up and go again. I feel like I should get a better picture. It’s an old Oregon chain with the 3/8 Ol pro teeth on a .325 chassis. Had shark fins when new.

You got your money's worth out of that chain. Lol

Didn’t last much longer, I think I may have touched it up one more time after this one.

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow

Yikes.
Excellent cutting techniques and changeovers! [emoji106]
Very fluid and smooth.

Ratchet straps are your friend.

Ratchet straps are your friend.

Was fine with smaller saws.
404 on the 084 was a bit different.

What’s scary about a tooth breaking off?

Love the end-of-life, square-filed tooth, posed with the reduced-kickback tie straps!

Just looks scary to run to me. Thats all. I am not used to seeing chain that far used up.

All these years of cutting and you’ve never used a chain up?

 

[RI Chevy]

Not like that sir. I stop before that. Lol
