I'm not suggesting its not necessary just that 'more hook' isn't always the answer to get a chain to feed.

I agree, but because I set my rakers with a progressive guide it's the next option for me. Gotta be careful though if you do any bore/plunge cuts, they can really act up if you have too much hook.

Too much hook makes for a rough grabby chain that's tough on the chain & drive gear. Its funny everyone suggests 'more hook' to increase self feeding. I have square chains that self feed just fine with zero hook even a forward lean...but anyways. IMO adjust yah inner top plate and correctly set & shape depth gauges.
