Was playing with the RS2, whatcha think? Pass for racing angles?

Nice. The glare on the top makes it hard to see.

Yup, but I wouldn’t have to sharpen every half tank cuttin this dirt infested, frozen wood

Me and that grinder have disagreements from time to time. I really need to spend some time and get up close and personal with it

But then your shower drain will be jelly.

Bump...did some chassis work on a chain today. I try and do all the stuff I can before forming the cutting edge.

@Armbru84 Cole, is that a Carlton chain?

That's awesome
did you grind the inside of the raker or is that just a glare?

I'm just trying to learn here just curious what effect thining the raker has
I thought a thick raker would drag chips better
Am I thinking about it wrong
Again just trying to learn

I like straight.

The raker is still pretty fat...I was surprised at how thick it was so I took a little off it. Only on the inside.

The second pic I posted was what they look like when done. Flat front Then a 45 or so then it will be flat on top once I set it.

Is it me? Or is the old Oregon stuff beefier than the new LGX?

I’ve not mic’d anything, but just an impression.

I agree. I was surprised as how beefy the chassis and cutters were. I should weigh a loop and compare.

Agreed.
I wonder what the weight difference would be.
