3/8 full skip
Please explain why. Chip clearance or what? If I go 3/8, I'll probably be running like a 9-pin rim.

You're gonna be pulling quite a load, so why put the engine in overdrive???Please explain why. Chip clearance or what? If I go 3/8, I'll probably be running like a 9-pin rim.

Chain time. This 50" bar will be used to buck up a 7' diameter Bur Oak. Would you keep it .404 or go 3/8 like I have planned on? Full-comp, semi-skip, or full-skip? I should have the power to pull what ever. Which one's going to serve me best?
What are you cutting the wood up for? If you're just making firewood, full skip is fine. If you were cutting wood for the intention of milling, my recommendation would be semi-skip. If were milling, I'd say full-comp ripping chain.
So you think I need full-skip for chip clearance? I have no experience on this topic.

My ported 660 cuts faster with full skip and a 36" bar buried. It pulls either full comp or skip very well.

Nothing like real world experience. Do you think that's due to chip clearance or chain speed?
As it should.
Brad, my experience is the same, full skip is always faster. Smoother no, but faster no matter what size saw or bar and chain.
Well. You're making me rethink going full-comp on the 36" bar I ordered. I haven't ordered chain for the 36" or 50" bars I ordered today.
