No need to tinker on my 115DL chain, the teeth are still long and make a wide kerf.
I did customize one 115DL loop into hillbilly/sorta-skip with scoring teeth (Patent Pending LOL).
Chainsaw chain is not driven by as much power as a harvester chain is!
When a harvester chain gets pinched or stuck the harvester will not stall but rather rip the chain to pieces.
The few chainsaw chains that snapped on me broke in a way that the chain was stuck full length in the log and the ends were dangling down on both sides of it.
No individual pieces of the chains were missing that could have come flying.
It were always the tie straps that snapped.
If there were a significant percentage of getting severely injured by a chainsaw chain breaking there would be much more chainsaw racers with scars and missing limbs.
Like with everything in life, if You are afraid of getting Yourself hurt by doing it You're better off not doing it at all!
Right now I'm not afraid of using my chainsaws, but I am always aware of the potential danger these tools carry with them!
I am much more concerned about kickback, but I'm not constantly afraid off it.
I'm fairly big/strong but keeping control over a 5-7HP power head running ~13k rpm kicking will make my joints hurt.
I'm not a pro and I don't consider myself all knowing - on the contrary!
I'm just a homeowner firewood hack who enjoys running chainsaws.
And since we all love saw porn:
