Guns drugs and cash. Wait! Is this a trick?

Anyone have a 33RS or RSL to do a side by side with an RSK to see what the chassis and raker difference is?

I'm reading it used to be Stihl's square ground before RSL and early RSL was called RSLK. Something unique to RSK with the chassis and raker shape as well as the cutter. It went from square ground to round then was discontinued. With full size .050 3/8 chain RSL took over it's square ground...

Which is it @Jusgunn3 ?

That would explain why I was having a heckuva time getting a double bevel to match up. lol

This is my first RSK and it's square ground originally. Maybe. I was having to hold the file flatter to get the bevel that contacts the top plate to reach the leading edge of the top plate. Doing what I'd been doing the bevel wasn't wide enough to reach the front edge and corner. I'm thinking...

I would definitely stick with a brand that was thicker than Pferd, if such a thing exist.

I felled and bucked a 50 ft 36" standing dead alder and dropped, bucked a 60 ft 18" sycamore limb. Stayed out of the dirt. Maybe 2 tanks of cutting with an 026 and an 044. First time touching it up it may have taken a little longer than it will going forward. The Pferd double bevel files I...

I finally got around to cutting with those loops you sent me. It is excellent chain. When I got done the corners were visually dulled just a touch but it still cut very well. The Oregon square ground I've been using would have gotten noticeably slower.

Flat but angled. Lower in the front. The lower you go the steeper the angle.

They are an excellent gauge. If you don't have a good memory best keep the little diagramed card handy that shows which slot is what, because it isn't on the tool.

I'd like to check out the old landslide and volcanic geology in Anza Borego, among other things. Main thing I want to see in the area is this rock that is exactly the same stuff as what caps a random ridge in Central Washington.

Unfortunately, the nuts are proprietary. If you do end up getting a whole new filter, the metal screen type works better than the flocked.

How stadium projects are paid for varies. Sometimes they're completely funded and owned privately, like SoFi in Inglewood, CA, Met Life in Jersey and Gillette in Foxboro, but usually a private/public combo and mostly private. Bills new stadium nets out to be about half public with state and...
