Yup it’s where you take it off that matters. And get you some good sharp vallorbe or pferd files too. Ebay or Amazon.

You mean tractor supply doesn’t sell good files? Jk

This is kinda what I shoot for on my round hand filed full chisel chain. 25* top plate angle 10* tilt (guesstimate with my elbow tilted down lol). I set rakers to the saws power by hand a few swipes at a time. View attachment 294011 Most of the time I file my saw out in the woods on my tailgate. Works for me. YMMV.

I imagine you do some bore cutting? So I would think you would only adjust the depth gauges as far as is practical to still bore cut well rather than go all the way with what the saw has power to pull. I match mine to the saws power, but don't expect to bore cut with those chains.

Yup I should have been more specific. I setup the saw so it still bore cuts smoothly. You can still match it to the power of the saw. There is just a fine line between too aggressive and just enough bite.

That is a good point too. Glad you mentioned it.

Nice Ronnie! Did the large end rod bearing suffer any damage from concrete? I got a few of those I’m keeping for just personal saws I’m afraid to sell.

No, the 371k crank was good but I used a 372 crank that I had.

Ah I gotcha. It ended up a nice saw!
