i've got a couple of 7900's. i keep tweaking them back and forth. One is a rev'er up special, the other is a wider powerband torque monster.
One of the things I did very early on was to switch to an 8 pin wheel, fwiw.
So, we cut firewood. there is a lot of dirt and rocks in it, but i'm using round chisel chain, both full comp and semi skip. I want to learn to grind chain, and have recently figured out I don't know as much as I think I do.
so i was grinding and adjusting my grind and adjusting. eventually i had a really SHARP chain that cut pretty fast for about half a tank of gas. and I had a loop chain of full skip that I hadn't ground that was just as fast and lasted most of a day.
My wife trains me with a sledge hammer.
so, now i am refiguring. the oregon chain pdf says the side plates do most of the work. the working corner is obviously the most important.
i've been worried about the bottom of the top plate. now I wonder if I should be worried about the outside of the sideplate.
opinions?????
