First attempt at converting round to square


I'm ready for my beating! Now let me have it!

Attempt number two after regrinding it back to round!

3 cube chain. Finished this weekend.
Rakers are at .011.
New owner will have to set to his own liking.
Hope he likes it.

Little bit of 1/2" chain for Leeha

 

[Hedgerow]

That'll not only cut good for ole Lee, but surely, he could follow those angles to keep it touched up, no?

Good work chain..

Nope. Keep filing it as is.

Measure the cutters..
About .320 cutter size will serve you well.

What about the angle that leads up to the cutting corner. Will a sharper(30ish) angle cut more agressive than a 45 degree angle?

Underside for top plate or side plate?

 

[shorthunter]

From the cutting corner to the gullet.

The angle would primarily impact the underside of top plate

Dang, there is some chain porn here.

30 would be sharper
