Just wanted to post up and say thanks for the suggestion about filing the chain at a much smaller angle for milling purposes. At the standard 25 degrees my 660 was struggling and bogging down in the 25" oak I'm working on. I was fighting the saw the whole way.

After filing the same semi-chisel chain at ~5 degrees it's a night/day difference. Sure beats dropping $50 on a custom ripping chain.
