Oregon 34 LG .325 chain opinions

Looks good Tim. I personally take a bit more out of the gullet. Right at the bottom. The wood will tell you for sure.

Just found pics of the Carlton .325 chain that looks similar to your chain. Very low cutter. I actually cut into the strap a little.

That's exactly how they should look. Nice C shape profile from the cutting corner down to the gullet. If you run a straight line between the two points it should be just about vertical.

Nice opened gullet for increased chip flow.

Sometimes one has to switch to a smaller file to account for the decreasing vertical tooth height.

All in the trial and error process, settle on what cuts best for your application.

I think the 34 LG chain cuts quite well.
Mounted on a 54cc Poulan Pro 335 made sometime in the late 80's or early 90's I think.

I always liked it better than the 20 series chain they replaced it with.

Nice job Tim. Big chips there. Cuts well. Still cold up your way too I see.

Very weird weather this winter. Temps up and down.
Sunday melted all the snow except for drifts and snow piles. Then another 4" of snow Tuesday.
Wednesday was about 40 degrees and today it's 50 degrees and climbing. The 4" is gone.
The perfect day to try out a saw.
We are generally clear of getting any more snow by the end of the first week in April if there are no nasty surprises.
Spring must be near as the birds are looking for mates.

I always liked 34lg and used 5/32 files for it.

Same weather here Tim. Odd.
