I know that is the same chain in all the pix, but just look at the tricks a camera will play between pic 1 and pic 3! Looks real good.

They did!
After we filled the hunting shack woodshed, there's prolly still 3 face cords split and waiting for me.

Dallas brought a couple wheels. I think he used those most of the time at the gtg. I believe it was my own trial and error over the last year that wore most of the wheel out lol

Would you mind to tell me what dresser angles your using? I just got a new 451c and just want all the knowledge I can get. I’ve been very well pleased with what I’ve gotten this far.

Requires a thin wheel and 28-32° tooth down-angle or you'll end up with a bunch of forward lean. This is about as blunt as I can make a cutter without hitting the straps. Lasts 3 tanks in clean hardwood. It's not fast, but it stays sharp

Side angle 26.55



Top angle 21.8
