How to square file

It’s a good thing to be a hoarder of. The rate I’m going I’ll wear them all out about 2050.

Your saws are too slow to actually dull the chain

Question for your guys...
What factory square chain rolls is available? I know about 72CL, but does 73CL still exist? Other brands?

How much side plate is necessary/desireable? I was bumping around Dad's shed and basement and found an amazing number of old used and worn out chains. I grabbed a worn out one to try my hand at making some race esque chain but by the time I evened up and cleaned up the cutters on the grinder there wasn't much left. If I did it again, and I may, i would just set the grinder straight up and down with no tilt for the clean up. Think it will run? It is a touch beaky.

The more hook left the hungrier it will be.

Mike, I'm sure you're 100% correct. I am curious how much side plate is helpful/beneficial. Does a single bevel side plate have an advantage over a double bevel? I feel like I've seen nice race chains both ways. I don't see why any hogging out under the side plate like I have a ton of would be at all helpful.

Anything over .050” or so won’t be cutting much if anything. It just carries the chips out.

Those will cut..

A few times..

Then they’ll break as soon as they hit anything bad.
