Mr. Walker, What we have here is a classic difference of opinion. Nothing wrong with that. I simply disagree with your assessment/comments. Yes I have been known to get a tad testy at times however, I will stick to my guns when I believe that I am in the right. However no matter what the size or shape of the chain, you cannot dispute that this does cut, plane and simple. Initially this thread was simply to show what a inexpensive chain is capable of doing that is properly maintained/sharpened however, it appears to have made the snowball effect. BTW,I just received two more chains identically to this one.$14.95 apiece. For the cost this is a good deal. Bailey's/Carlton full chisel chains. Thank you for your input, Ken
