I tried less than the white. It was hard to pull but lasted a long long time. Seems like it will be good and fifteen on the top face to mill.

15 sounds about perfect.
@mdavlee would know

I mill with 20-22°

By what I can remember reading, the inside line and gullet angle is what separates work cutters from race cutters?

From my viewing, appears to be broken chains in near future from pics recently posted.

 

[Deets066]

No I wouldn't say that alone separates them.
Do you file work and race chains at the same angles?

I couldn't say, that's why I ask. But those two things separate the two?

Depends on what saw it's goin on

Wish I had secrets, still tryin to figure out what works and what doesn't for different saws. Wish I had more time to test

Theres some givens, some secrets, some typy of mystery shennanigans, and then theres a crapload of time that gets wasted when the all out chains are slower than expected.

You have to try things out on your own, go see other dudes chains, take notice of insignificant details, cause they aint so insignificant.

Haha that was me. Joeys chains are magical. Plus he's a helluva operator. I don't really know what I was looking at/for. Just observing.
