How to square file

[Stihlbro]

The way I was told is- more cc, less voodoo. Less cc, more voodoo. A 3 cube isn't very big, so it needs more done to it

Close and a good explaination. However, a lot of variables to consider. Wood type and what saw, how is it ported? How does the operator run the saw? To further the topic, you don't put a 4 bottom plow on a 30 hp tractor or a single bottom plow a 100 hp tractor. Make sense? You grinding or filing? I'm told you can slap a chai on a grinder and in 20 minutes or less make a fast chain. Just buy a grinder and you are set. Easy peash. But then if filed properly results can vary. Best advice I can give is make at least 5 chains and try what works and study the witchcraft. Don't give up and keep at it. One day, the results will show. I'm currently still looking for the that one day.

Little things here and there. As it makes sense..

Consistency plays a huge part. All cutters doing the same. The bigger power saws can compensate for inconsistencies. The profile of the cutter angles can determine how the rakers are set.

What's faster, filed or ground?

What is better on a fun work chain. More aggressive angle and more raker or less aggressive with less raker? When testing a 25" on my 460 .025 raker hight self fed good and kept the power in the power band

I did the design, so there's a flaw or two. It was my first attempt at it. And I'm no machinist.

Homelite is the man for that. He's one of the best machinist out there, and his work is beautiful.
I just wanted to try it myself. Next time I'm just going to send them to him

I bought a few of the small 1/4" jeweling tools to do it. But I lack a good XY drill press
