New day, new combination. Lol
Today we have Stihl 026 running a 16" .325 bar with Carlton chain and 8 pin rim sprocket.
Same piece of wood I have been using all week. Homeowner asked why I keep taking little pieces off the end, and I cut everything else to length. Lol
I said, ah long story, research and development. He just said OK and walked away. Too funny.

My rough estimated time is about 7 seconds per cut. I could do more with the Carlton chain. One thing I noticed, this chain is hard as carbide. Very difficult to take down rakers and sharpen chain.
Much harder than Oregon and Stihl.

Your Saw runs good and cuts good. I'm converting a round chain now. I'm getting there I think I like around
.030-.035 for my 460

You'll ruin a chain in a hurry if you don't get the hook perfect on the first try. You'll take a lot of meat off the top just to get the angle back.
Usually once a set of teeth on a 3/8 chain have seen the file a couple times they end up the same size as a .325 tooth. So switch over to a .325 file and the hook will be better.

Bet you're running a chain with no hook as well.

Yep. No hook on them. Not sure how they feed so well[emoji41]

Is it ( the hook ) that pulls it?

I think no rakers is the key

Don't do that.

 

[Icepick69]

No, no one do that, you will get hurt.
Don't remove them

Jim, do you have any photos of your sharpened 3/8 teeth that you could post?

 

[jmssaws]

I run zero hook,zero rakers and about a 57.895 degree angle on my top plate.
Smooth as butter because it ain't cutting a damn thing.
I'd you want me to make you one there's a waiting list

Thank you sir.
That chain looks mean!

That's my brother in law's saw. It has .325 pitch chain on it.

I'm trying to learn from the pros on sharping that way. There's a good thread on it
