Sadly though when it comes to chain choice I often wonder how many actual loggers have ever even tried a full range of chains to compare.
This is true. People are pretty set in their ways.

Hey Matt, you finally get a handle on the rash?
I have used a bunch of different sawchain, the only thing I can add is that a well filed chipper chain can usually out cut some glory boy's wishful filing on chisel.
He showed and explained the differences to me (chipper,semi,full). . . .these type of threads make my head spin as bad as oil ones.
deye223, Nice vids man!
At the risk of stereotyping myself, I used hand filed square chisel in green timber, full comp of course. I did keep a couple saws with chipper on them for general purpose use. I used chipper with the 660 for the rough stuff like DF snags or creek bed bucking.
I learned how to file on chipper, it is a bit more forgiving, you can still botch it up easy enough. My transition to square filing chisel was made easy, it was 9/16". I can't remember ever using semi chisel.
That's interesting. You'll actually square file for day-to-day use? How do the chains hold up?

Nah now that it's heating up in Australia that rash came back Randy. How's yours going?
Avoid the heat mate, use zinc.
Hard to avoid Randy when my job is walking around outside Zinc cream looks cool though...
as it migrates from the point of origin, you will end up whiter than Michael Jackson.:hmm3grin2orange:

There is no way known that any white man can end up whiter than him. It is chemically, biologically, and genetically impossible...
Well OK, maybe not chemically as he sorta proved that...
