I'll be using my 090 for milling soon and have a question or two. I want to make the most of the high torque and low speed. I'll run 404 chain because that's what my bar is. I'm thinking of an 8 pin regular or 9 maybe even 10pin racing sprocket. But does anyone know from experience how these stand up to milling?
Assuming I go with the 8 pin, what should I set the rakers at? Bearing in mind it'll be milling only aussie hardwoods - mostly yellow box (sometimes dead) but also stringy and sometimes forest red gum. It's only a 34" bar so 32" max cut if that at the moment. But I don't want to compromise surface finish for speed and have heard lower rakers does this...
