Does this satisfy you?

Aren’t you post to warm it up first?

It's a pretty good chain in soft wood. Worth the money for sure. Hardwood is a different story.

I was cutting Ash. Kinda middle of the road hardwood until it dries then it'll test a chain for sure.

Excessive.

The fist cramp afterwards was excessive.

2166...blade change, more throttle blips. I think there's more to be had, will likely go back in it.

Sounds and cuts nice!
I bought a 36” loop for the 066 from redbull660. Self feeds really nice in oak. Was using 3/4 to full bar buried.

Looks good
I just touched up a archer chain
It cut better now than out of the box.
Most chain's are like that
Takes a couple sharpenings to get them to cut the best.

I think dropping the rakers will help. It's sharp just not biting as hard as I'd like.

How much hook does it have and what angle is top plate? Any pics?

Chit I don't know. It's straight outta the box, probably 30° top plate.

Carlton I have never cuts as good as stihl or oregon exl. Too rounded on the top plate corner I think. Really a semi chisel almost.

I use Carlton most of the time. Factory grind isn't great but it holds up well in dirty wood and I like it after a once around with a file.

I am a fan of Stihl chain though...but don't tell anyone.

Holds up great like you said because of that more rounded corner though.

Carlton chain is difficult to sharpen. Cutter looks like its all chrome. Kills files. Doesn't cut as well as other chains.

Exl and c83/c85 are my favorites. Cut nice out of box, hold up decent, file decent and are affordable. Stihl chain is great too but more expensive... usually.

I'll have to disagree. It's not as hard as Stihl chain, I've never noticed it killing files prematurely either. And I use a lot of save edge files.
