Bunch of random pics of cutters

Mild heel clip, as mentioned I am just playing with this loop and this is my first heel clipping attempt.
I can always take off more, but I can not restore removed steel - nice & easy does it.

I think it aids "releasing the wood chip sooner" thusly reducing drag.

But I could be wrong in my thinking.
It is something a "racer" has to address!

Thought it had something to do with reduced drag when rounding the bar nose in a cut?

In any event, it shortens the top plate, so you need to replace your chains more frequently!

It is a "race chain thing"!
It needs to work, if it gains a thousands of a second through a cut it is working.

Life expectancy is not a consideration as a race chain can snap anytime due to what is being all done to it.
I actually fear the one I posted above might let go if I try it since all I have in my yard is turkey oak and that stuff is tough.

So, then, it also shaves some weight off the cutters?

Technically yes!

It also creates more room for the chips!

I believe clipping makes for smoother boring

Please explain.

Play chain #2, had no k095 for play chain #1 which has more grinding on it.


Video will be uploaded to YT when I am on my PC.

Please explain.

Can’t figure out how to explain it

Can’t figure out how to explain it

The cutters heel kicks the cutting edge "out of the wood" as it turns around the bar nose thusly reducing bite of the following cutter and causing "chatter" due to uneven bite.
P.S./Edit: ... when bore cutting!

Does that sound logical or am I just full of it?!

My Dolmar PS-6100 MMWS pulling the above "play" chain through Turkey Oak.
Same tune, same fuel, same log as in the previous video - different chain.

I hope You are stocking up on that!
11$/84DL loop sounds like a steal to me.

It's good stuff for a reasonable price!

Nice clean stamping, no "safety junk" either - that is a really good looking chain!
That factory grind looks a bit like X-Cut which is a good grind out of the box.

Eh, if it weren't for shipping.

Somebody get these and report back!

Maybe even a little more beak?!
I dig those skinny rakes!
Nice chain!!!

X-Cut @ 3 times the price (but I really like it!)
