Dave's chain. It takes some horsepower to pull.

You guys need to watch the square filing thread on here. Alot of good info given by some great ppl. Mike was nice enough to send me some files to try. I just haven't had the guts or patience to try them yet.

Link? I searched it but it didnt come up.

Am I building the saw that's gonna turn that chain?

Yep. Matts 7900 would cut a 1 second in 8x8. I think if you get his right it should be around .8

 

[jmssaws]

Ten 4 on that

The 20" chain you have should be pretty fast so it will give you an idea how aggressive that one is.

 

[Definitive Dave]

I'm lucky to have kevin and Mike as buddy's,I have several chains made by both. I got a 20" that Mike did that's dumb sharp.

dumb sharp is my new favorite phrase

 

[jmssaws]

I run it on my 460 yesterday. I'll load the video now,it don't like the 20" like a 66 does. Lol

 

[jmssaws]

I've used this 20" a bunch and it's still sharp and hard to turn. It pulls the guts out of my little 460.

[jmssaws]

My 460 ain't a turd but that chain makes it look like one. It sounds better in hardwood, that pine pulls a saw hard.

 

[mdavlee]

066 was a second faster with the other chain.

 

[jmssaws]

Both chains are sharp but the 066 will hold 1000 or better more rpm in the wood.
The 460 would like a 7 pin more with that chain.

That video was with an 8 pin? Impressive. What were rakers set at?

Yep 8pin. I don't know where the rakers are on either chain, Mike Lee made the 20" and I just run it but I believe there untouched.

I don't own a 7 pin. Lol

 

[Brush Ape]

My friend made me a sharp chain.

Where'd you get the Stihl sweatshirt buttkisser?

My buddy and neighbor is a engineer for stihl.

It was hit maybe a touch. They're less than .030". I get most of it from the angles when filed.

Whatever they are the 460 don't want them lower,the 066 maybe.
