so, this will probably scare anyone reading this...
ive never dealt with a carbide chain, but im assuming theyre SHARP. much like a regular circ saw...
well, i want a blunt one.
i only have a lil ms170, but tis a beast, now it has a new bar and chain (and the 180 cylinder). today i had the old chain and bar back on.
nipped it on the bench grinder and removed every raker.
why? im stump grinding! theres rocks, dirt and somewhere, theres tree roots in the mess... at the moment its getting burnt
i HATE CAMPHOR LAURELS!
yes, i know, i could hire a service, theres a guy round here owes me a few favours for making his grinder teeth . still, with floating and all that, its gunna cost me. i got 30 dollars til pay day and thats gunna be a small one this time. stupid casual work. i dont miss the factory and the 6 day weeks but!
yes, i used to work in a carbide factory, brazing all sorts of things...never got to do a chainsaw but!
so, obviously, im not about to BUY one... my intended purpose is rather brutal.
so....would i be better off just getting a dermat (hardfacing) rod, and bogging my teeth up? or debraze an old circ saw and try brazing all these lil teeth on? only 55 of em, ive done worse (used to do the reciprocating blades used on those arbor-pro plunge saws. they come in two hands, and theres four styles of tooth on one blade!)
not really in the right area to try ANFO (ooooh, imagine all the sirens that went off on that small four letter acronym!)
