Some Stihl 3/8 I been running, I really like the durability of it. It's harder on files, but it does hold up well in hardwoods like this.

[Toad22t]

So cutting pine cants, do I want my lower corner into the top plate more?

 

[Hedgerow]

You mean the side plate?

Someday. Idk

 

[Toad22t]

Yes, I believe thats what I ment.

 

[Hedgerow]

Yes, I believe thats what I ment.

If you got a saw with big power, and soft, clean wood, then yes.
You can put a little side beak on the cutters, to make the chain a little hungry. Some don't like to have to shove too hard when racing.

The chain will be used on my piped 064/056 magll, so 98.5 cc's with a short bar and 9 pin. It should have the big power you are talking about.

For that gearing, I'd use bout this much.



Keep the rakers less than .025 till you can test it for load.
This cutter measures .019.

You gonna be running in 10x10?
Or 12x12 up at Scott's?

 

[Hedgerow]

Also, use a 72 DL chain and 20" bar on that rig.

You'll thank me later.
