Bunch of random pics of cutters

[pbillyi69]

that last photo is a perfect picture for teaching someone the difference between a round cutter and a square cutter and why the round one will cut in dirty wood longer.

PILTZ CONCRETE SAW CHAIN...

 

[Wilhelm]

Old stock Husqvarna chain, says 42 on the DL's.

Factory grind, still cut good


Round grind touchup, pink wheel, not freshly dressed, did a couple loops

 

[Wilhelm]

Got some uglies in for grinding, another loop was severely rocked but I didn't take pictures.




This is the semi after my grinding.
I didn't feel like swapping wheels for just one .325" so it got a big-C from the 3/8" chain wheel.

 

[Wilhelm]

I've set the rackers on that .325" loop

Before


After


I have set up my grinder to do rackers for those coworkers 7 loops.
This was one of the 6 3/8" loops.

Finally ran my 59L tonight and was impressed. 36” dia logs into round with @huskihl ported 395

Coast live oak, no joke, hard

Bet that makes a nice fire!

The middle still needs to dry, it’s wet and fermented.

Turkey oak, which I prefer for firewood, won't even crack like that while in log form.
Even after 2 years sitting out in the open it'll shed its bark, but once bucked & split it still needs to season at least 2 years to burn well and long.

Split & bucked it can withstand the tooth of time and seasonal erosion for easy half a decade plus.

I also make a point to debark all my firewood when I split it to reduce bug infestation which begins under the woods bark.

This one will be fast.

Let’s see some uber durable round full chisel. How blunt can you get before it doesn’t cut? Figure a powerful saw and lowering rakers to get it to cut.

I think they can get pretty blunt/dull and still cut. Remember the knotheads in the sharpening group that were snapping the rakers off with vise grips?

There's been plenty enough that have accidentally put their chain on backwards to prove that theory correct.

I experimented once before with Xcut/Hexa flat faced cutters but titled more vertical for durability. Need to revisit. Probably will go grinder, then flat file in the field …or 1/4” round file

@Squish9

Go for a "J" ground profile instead of a "C"!
I noticed incresed cutter durability with negligeble drop in cutting performance.

Also, Husqvarna Full Chisel X-Cut is Your friend!
C-series , IIRC.

Semi chisel in any brand does nothing for me.
