OK, here's what may seem some stupid questions. What is the Side-Plate Angle, the Top-Plate Cutting Angle, and the Top-Plate Filing Angle.
I'm running a Husky 357XP and looking at maintenance instructions for a new Husky H48 (73LG) chain. And what do those letters and numbers mean?
I have been using a file jig that clamps on the bar, 0 degrees tilt, 30 degrees angle, 1/3 of the file above the tooth with good success cross cutting, but it doesn't noodle.
The instructions chart reads: Side-Plate Angle (60), Top-Plate Cutting Angle (60), Top-Plate Filing Angle (25). So I am off 5 degrees on the T-PFA. Is that why I get dust instead of noodles when ripping (red oak)? Cross cutting is very aggressive, as are kick backs if not careful with the tip on adjacent logs.
On many of the chains in the chart the S-PA and the T-PCA are different, how can that be, and what effect does that have. Thanks.
