I am kind of self learned and inexperienced but still hacking away at ~5 cords a year. Its hard to say 'if it cuts well' because I havent run other peoples saws. Worked for a tree service for a few years and tried to learn as much as i could.
I use pur*le power degreaser (use it on everything) every few weeks on the saws so some surface rust is expected. I lube the clutch bearing every so often. (is this bad?)
These are sharpened on my living room floor and ran for a day or two (3 or 4 hrs a day)
I play with raker height depending on if its pine or oak around here. I have started to shape them and it really helps.
After looking at the pics close up i appear to have some consistency / proper angle issues (embarrassing)
440 = green link
025 Too much whiskey?
The pine burl slab I store the saws and an oak burl 'drying' in northern cali. Also my clear firewood drying tent/corner/hammock drying/cotton seed fork and other junk
