Let's talk race chain

[Armbru84]

I will weigh it next time I am in my shed. Was also going to see how much weight is actually removed when doing all this fun chassis work.

I am starting to get the hang of it...lot faster than I used to be. Consistency takes time.

It does..
Lately, I been focusing on the cutter, and less on the chassis.
Just trying to figure out where the low hanging fruit is.

Still thinking a filed chain is faster than a ground chain..
“All things being equal of course”..

Which we know they are not.

I've got Simington chains that are very ahead of my filed ones, just focusing on the cutter...............................my Simi has been Kevorized though

My best try at race chain was a good clip faster than 2 different grinds Dallas tried for going fast, same saw, same wood.

I’ve thought about tryin race chain on the grinder. But I’m not doin it on one that has a lot of work in it and not much tooth left.

I’ve got a rough riding Stihl chain that may be a good candidate

John is like a damn machine in his vids. I think the file wins every time.

You got the 451C right?

You move the arm in a little?

Everything for adjusting that moves, moves a little more.
Dont need to move the arm at all if you can move the chain holder instead.

Probably going to try getting an extra arm to really play

I've had 2 chains roll through the shop from guys that race on a national level, that's got me re-thinking some things.

I know just about enough to be a danger to myself and others.

Good thing the arm is aluminum..

Won't dull the cutters..

in my first two chain tests, Dallas' ground and filed chain ran the same best time as John's filed chain
I need to get a little warm weather to run the next two chains on video.

Same chassis work?
