How to square file

[beaglebriar]

Any pictures of the chips from trying to bore ?

How’s about when bucking, does it self feed ?

No pics. Like I said it cut fine while bucking just didn't bore cut the way I'd like it to.

Bucking can involve dogs, pressure, rocking the powerhead, etc..

Self feeding is holding the trigger and having only the weight of the saw on the chain. If she eats like this, it’ll bore nicely

Ive never intentionally filed a 20*.

Yeah..

20 is not for me..

Getting close to milling angle.

 

[Redfin]

OK
You were asking for angles and stuff. So you just guesstimate your file angles. [emoji106]

Wait Wut? I know my angles, 20* isnt one Ive used.

25 is where I like all mine. For woods or milling. Racing goes further.

So the higher the number, say 30* cuts faster? Saw keeps RPMs higher in the cut?

Sometimes

I doubt it will keep higher rpm in the cut. It will pull more wood out with the same raker as 25

Hmmm. [emoji848][emoji848]

 

[mdavlee]

Hmmm.

Testing chain stuff can take hours and days. I cut up a lot of cants testing them.

I bet Mike. Testing. Takes time, money and effort. [emoji106]

It does. I spent 12 hours with coils and carbs in a 661 to figure out it wasn’t going to be faster no later which combination.

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow. WTF. lol

 

[mdavlee]

Wow. WTF. lol

Yeah it sucked. I did it in late spring time pretty much.

Chain testing is a lot more relaxing and not near as aggravating as actually working on the saws

Cuts a wider kerf.

Can be a good thing.. can be a bad thing..

Some homework to look over and try.

I know you guys are filing but the information is the same and transfers hope it helps.

Thank you for the info guys.

30 degree is too much for a 3 cube in soft pine with low rakers. It will pull the guts out of it and slow it down

 

[Definitive Dave]

low rakers is da debil, LOL

Freshend up a chain, 2 short bore cut vids to follow
