All have been very smooth. Some I did lower rakers more.

I been setting rakers at 20-25. You think I should drop to 30?

Depends on the user. I wouldn't go too low.

I've done that before, didn't leave a good comment , however personally, I like a grabby chain. Not much, but just a little.

These look real close to where i like my .404 on a 70-75cc saw with a 32 inch bar ,i cut with the tip a lot ,and do not like a grabby chain ,seems to stay sharp longer also with the side more up and down like these .That should be real smooth cutting ..025 on the rakes also .

I also have trouble. That was my fault, I thought someone told me I had to much forward lean. So I thought I would take some out.
I stay lost mosttimes, but I'm learning
