Keith sent me a chain with the 6400 I got from him and I still have yet to run it. Hell I didn't even know it was square filed until I was going through some chain's when I was putting them up on the board.

Bout time to get this thread revived

Extremely high on inside corner, creating fragile top plate. But I can't file!

He filed one of mine when he was up this way, it does help to see how it is suppose to be done

What part of northern Illinois are you in. I may have asked you this before but I may have forgot if I did.

That will be more durable than you think. I mill with angles not much different than that.

I was more concentrated on a forward lean on the side cutter. The top plate angle is a by product of the forward lean.

As you said it don't hold up too bad.

And cuts like a mofo too..... As long as you have some power behind it

I need to start playing with some angles on 404. Wonder if the stihl tie straps will fit oregon chain?
