Yup...Anyone tried half skip?
Half as smooth as full comp and half as good at clearing chips as full skip...

Sounds like a good compromise?Yup...

it is my favorite all around chain for softwoods ,clears the chips better than full comp bucking ,it bores and limbs better than full skipSounds like a good compromise?
best file and where to get?Half skip will cut fine. Oregon is easier to learn to sharpen on since its softer. That's just my preference for people learning to file it. Madsens can hook you up on those loops of Oregon.
Oh my!! Im gonna quit asking questions! I feel like a dumbass now!! Lol!
That's about all I do around this place is ask questions. Meh, some may think that's dubassery.Oh my!! Im gonna quit asking questions! I feel like a dumbass now!! Lol!

No sir...That's about all I do around this place is ask questions. Meh, some may think that's dubassery.
Do you like half skip on a 115 dl bar ?No sir...
Not at all...
Never stop asking questions...
Well this is my perspective on the discussion at hand. We pay 300+ on porting for 30% to 40% off cut times and then we can change type of chain and gather 30% off cut times for approx. 40$ for 20" chain and a file? Im thinking it would be retarded not to ask questions and learn the chisel chain technique vs. $$$ invested vs the performance to $$$ ratio?Oh, I have nothing against questions. Just playing around.
Though I do think, sometimes, people get too caught up in the minutiae. All the chains and configurations will cut wood, assuming they're reasonably sharp. If someone is happy with stock chain, great; if they feel they want more, that might inspire them to push the envelope and better their sharpening skills or make some changes. Neither is right or wrong. Same with cutter configuration -- one person may favor the characteristics of full comp as it pertains to their particular cutting style, while another may prefer skip, all else equal. Try some stuff and cut some wood, and when you feel you've found a shortcoming, try some different stuff and see what you like best.
