.325 square ground

[Icepick69]

Hard to tell if the picco will cut or not. I'm taking kids to see santa rite now and hoping a saw shop near by has a bar I need. I've ran the .325. I know it cuts great. Are you wanting to see it cut. Be timed? What would make you happy.
As for stock ps. It's a very aggressive chain way it is. Square grinding it ( well time will tell )

 

[Icepick69]

If you would like to try some. Let me know. Heck, if it doesn't cut. Fix it. Or file it back round. I'll even throw in a new round pferd file.

Can you do .404?? How much for 32" non skip, 95 drive link??

 

[Icepick69]

All I want for Christmas is grinding wheels

 

[Icepick69]

I can try my best. Is it already squared. Are we going from round to square . And post a picture of a tooth.

 

[redoakneck]

It would be new 46RS, just curious if you can do 404. Square picco IMHO is for cookie cutting. Not limbing, would be too grabby. 404 stays sharp longer, that picco in my experience gets dull faster that .325, so your grind is relatively more expensive??

 

[Icepick69]

I'm with you. I like the .325. The picco was to see if anyone wanted to try it. Everyone has the own preference. On my 70cc saws. I only run skip. But some will say skip is slower, some say it's faster. I know what I like, and don't try to persuade someone else's opinions.
I always want people to try something different, and see.

Do you have any videos of your chains in action?

 

[Icepick69]

I got a bar, but .325. Couldn't find a low pro bar or tip. Besides. If you ever had to ask your wife to stop by saw shop. Then you know where I'm at. Lol. And no. I won't post picture of her. She's taken.
Give me sometime to grind and get set up. Could be tomorrow, but I'm rushing.
I'll be running a Husqvarna 346.

Logs are on the ground, don't have anything fancy. All the wood I cut is delivered on tandem truck. And cut on ground

 

[Icepick69]

It's oak. Hard. No pine or popular

 

[Icepick69]

Mite just use a stihl ms290. Stock nothing done to it.

But here's where it gets complicated. Went to neighbors to borrow his stihl ms290, when I returned to shop. I decided to square up his .325 x .063. And run same chain on both saws.

 

[Icepick69]

After square grinding his used chain. I decided that I would run Husqvarna first. Well. The cannon is .050 gauge. No problem, I'll just regroove it for .063. So I did. Went to river tip back on. I have no rivets

 

[Icepick69]

So what now, Dont laugh, I really been working fast as I could on this.
I used some stainless rivets from a harvester bar. I'll post pictures later, telling this story now.
