Looks like top beak

If you are going to beak, it’s best to be low

Husqvarna 272 gasoline and tuned pipe, square filed

Was that an 8x8 pine cant?

Nice deutz by the way.

5 cube should peel an 8x8 in less than 1 second.

3 cube should go 1.5 second or less.

Hot saw should be .5 second or so.

The tree is spruce. And this was just a small test. I need more practice. First time I test my saw.

The saw sounds pretty good, chain might need some tweaking

Tomorrow I be working on it. And I have more chains to test.

The times I mention are just rough guidelines for saws run in good poplar or aspen or clean white pine.
Those times are out the window as soon as you load up a gum or yellow pine cant..

Saw sounded good.. gear it up till you don’t have to pull too hard on it.

Round end like made for the granberg jig?

If so, I’ll take a dozen or whatever they got.

Did you get one of these files to fit in the jig?

Not yet.
Need to find one first.

A good square chain will pull itself you shouldn’t have to push at all.

This is one of my work chain and how they normally pull right off the grinder first thing in the morning.

The guy from Switzerland hasn't replied. I'd like to get a couple to try 'em out. Here's another pic he posted to help someone. Finish looks damn good to me.

Could be ground for all I know.

Looks great for work and probably milling too. Wish I had a grinder.
Wonder how long for the raker comments...

That was a brand new chain right off the pro sharp for the picture then went straight onto the depth gauge grinder.

Once you get over a certain power threshold, material removal becomes a real issue.
And dropping the rakers will not get you the results you need.. there is also a certain amount of pressure that will have to be applied.

Not work saws to clarify.

Piped hot saws.

Jig or file? I have a jig... I'd make a sacrifice and try it for you, just need a file to try dot dot dot...

 

[Hedgerow]

Got the jig..

The file seems to be a unicorn..

I’ve mounted a 3 sided triangle file in it with some inserts I made, but it was not practical.
I hate those files.
