Chain Build off RD #3 on CRS

[skippy]

Not me. I am a BLIND squirrel that gets lucky.

I honestly openly admit I can not square file and proud of it.

@skippy remember what I told you to look at on the PS chain you did. Make sure to look for that on the 325 chain build off chain.

I will ty

By the way Shaun @SquareFile took us all to the cleaners on the PS build off for the stock echo 39cc cuts.

His race chain was very impressive for the saw it was built for.

I have no clue why they dropped off in rd 2 on the ported saw testing though. Like he said witchcraft.
The knife blade got dull I guess.

Looks like a fun contest!! I will admit that I probably have no business even thinking about entering..lol.

Get in there and give it a go.

Folks got me square filing again last time and I had swore it off since about 2012. Didnt even have a file but was sent on to use.

Trust me it dont go bad like other build offs on other forums etc. We are a drama free forum that adults interact without problems.

Round and square filed entered. Race and work classes too.

When do you need to have the chains? I would like to do one, just to learn.

All in the thread with what rules for work chain. No date set in stone for this one yet. So we are into March time frame right now.

 

[Sierrawoodsman]

Looking forward to this. Should be good fun.

Here is copy/paste from the other thread to maintain continuity here in this thread.


Things that will separate race from work chain IMO.

Race

Thinned cutters
Stoned cutters
Thinned or reshaped small rakers
Tunneling under cutter
Cut off back of cutters heels etc or angled back of cutter
Grinding or polishing work on rivets
Dog boning
Work on top of inner drive link area ( dont know if most of you do or know about this )
Beveled edges


If sure there is more but my mind is tired right now. If you can add to list please do.

Just want the work chain to be work chain for the guys doing work.

If anything is missing, feel free to add on.

I aint got no .325 chain

Heck - I aint got a saw to run a .325 chain with


Screw it !!
Count me in !!

I'll find a chain somehow

 

[mdavlee]

I didn't run the last chain either.

 

[Moparmyway]

I didn't run the last chain either.

I havent ran one yet .......... except Genius's chain.
MAN !!!
I wanted to keep that one !!!!

Blew away my normal work chains !
Made for bore cutting smoothly !
I took a moment before I put her in the box, had to say goodbye !

 

[mdavlee]

I've sent some nice chain's away. A few I wanted to keep and make another one. I need to break down and get a roll of CL again.

 

[Cut4fun]

I never ran either of my chains last time either. No testing etc whatsoever. Just filed and entered.

 

[Cut4fun]

I had alot of older CL left over on a roll. A racer contacted me about buying that roll as I no longer needed it for racing.
That guy went on to win Webster last year in the hotsaw class with a Helsel built motor.

Count me in on this .325" build off.

[Sierrawoodsman]

[Sierrawoodsman]

Here's an Oregon 325" LPX Sharpened Square.
used same grinder settings.
As expected ths was the smoothest of the three

 

[Sierrawoodsman]

final test for today was with a 20" bar Carlton .325"
square ground near end of life with low rakers.lot of vibration
Next I want to try a Stihl RS-Square and see how she does.
