[A.E.E.llc]

Careful kid ,you will poke your eye out with that ..

Just let Jody know to have safety glasses on before viewing.

 

[old guy]

Yeah, I have trouble with the left side too, I keep getting into the side link.

 

[Deets066]

I dislike left side cutters equally as .404 Only bout 40 more to go.

I do not. I hope Mike does. Lol. What's the preferred 404 chisel? I've never messed withit.

68 lx so far is my favorite

Which Mike?

The stihl square has about a 15° top plate. It's no fun to file to better angles. The RS has a better angle starting but it's one grabby bastard before it's filed back some.

Which Mike?

I thought mlee was using his saws for test mules? I'm out of the loop.

 

[Deets066]

Couldn't remember if the 394 was his saw or not

 

[Douglas Ostrander]

I was told with big saws that can pull 404 you want just a little beak for square???

John Reilly called me this morning for some chain and files and stuff and was talking about .404.
Dude is shot out of a cannon
I mentioned the chain competition thing at Moobs and he was completely sucked in LOL.
How many DL? Can you do whatever you want to the chain?
I think he is going to send one to Tennesee, heck he might even make the trip.
I almost told him that somebody was building a race chain with ceramic/carbide micro bearings at each rivet along the chain, but I figured that would be cruel and he might also call shenanigans on me

Still hard to believe all you guys are racing with worn out, used up chains
I could bring some loops of new chain along to trade

I like rslfk for work chains ,but getting hard to find anymore .
Cutters look like this ,rakes are smaller than what they sell now .

My caller id tells me John tried calling me while I was feeding the cattle. I forgot to call him back till I saw this.
