Saw video thread

OK...
Maybe the way I file my chains, and the way my saws are tuned and run are a bit different? 6 of 1, half dozen of another.
I was just speaking from my experiences.
I choose a different path to get the job done...
My chains are NEVER, EVER Dull, and they cut very well. I have nothing to prove as far as that goes.
My chains fit my cutting techniques. I work alone 99% of the time, so I am into smoothness and match the chain to the wood and saw. I'm just a firewooder hacka with 40 plus years of experience in staying warm in the winter. I experiment alot with different things. Just conveying my thoughts and ideas with the regular average guy.
I got nothing for you PROS.

We aren’t hating on you Jeff. Just straightening out misconstrued information that you are passing on as fact.
Chains don’t need “time” to cut, they need to be sharpened properly for the saw and wood type.
Your saws and chains may cut well for your perspective and that’s all that matters.

I never pass anything on as fact. Just my experiences and observations. They may be different from yours, and Kevin's. Doesn't make any of us right or wrong. I speak in layman's terms.
It's all good in the hood...

A few years ago a farmer gave me some locust fence posts that were 60yrs old and it didn't matter how fast or sharp the chain was they all took little chips, with stuff like that I have gotten the best results from old .404 chipper chain.

About twenty years ago I had to fall and buck some larger Hemlock on the coast that were all "sand blown", meaning the sand had impregnated the bark of the trees from years of wind storms.

I ended up running Oregon .404" "Micro-Chisel" which is a sort of hybrid between semi-chisel and chisel, but with a more semi-chisel profile. It worked great. I'd hand file every couple of tanks.

Regular square-ground .375" was only lasting about 15 minutes.

In that conditions the big chains shine

Now you know what we cut around here every day but we have to pull the file out every tank .

Honestly that probably makes you very good at sharpening!
I can only think of a few people who are obsessed with sharp chains around me. I can't think of a more disappointing scene than when I pull up to a storm damage area and see someone burning their way through a tree.

That's a very nice stream of chips you're putting out there...

 

[N8TE]

That

Thanks to @jacob j. and @Bigmac for helping me along the way.

That bugger is ejecting chips like chipper... pretty neat!

 

[cuinrearview]

Awesome vid Cole! All I got is the one from Clint in some little hickory.

Sound like it sounds like it has good torque and RPMs

Sound is awesome and let the chips fly where they may! Just for curiosity, is it a large rim sprocket?

Just an 8 pin .404 ya the stream of chips was impressive.

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool McCulloch videos! So distinct sounding. Unique.

 

[rogue60]

Just to be clear I was talking about vids I've seen on youtube guy's running big power heads 3foot bars and crazy chain speed must be trying to run 10pins?
Is actually scary to watch not much in the way of in control going on dude hanging on for dear life saw's climbing in the cut pushing back out of the cut yeah thats safe lol
