Did you not open my attachments? You can clearly see the intermittent action there in the one picture but it is totally absent in the other; no it was not sanded. You can also see the path of lateral deflection into the end grain which really defines the oscillation pattern. I could also post pictures of fairly uniform 1 1/2" long chip sections that seem quite connected to the same length of cutting dips into the wood. Not in all wood do the chip peels hang together for the whole length of the individual dips: In noodling there is likely a different cutting action forced by the full length long grain shavings. No question they hold together that way but noodling is a whole nother way of cutting.
Yes, I seen your pictures but I thought you were getting at something else.
If the cut on the left hand side of the “detail” picture is what a chain cut is suppose to look like, then I am stumped (no pun intended).
That is what I try to avoid.
I go for the piece in the right hand side of the picture.
The oscillating pattern I was thinking about would be way smaller than what you have on the left of the pic.
I thought that what you were trying to show with those pictures was what abnormal tooth bouncing (sharpened to produce an oscillating pattern) would produce. (the left picture)
The only time my chainsaws produced the left hand cut is when the thing starts vibrating so bad that it starts shaking the chainsaw apart. When ever I have felt the chainsaw go into a vibration, it would leave that pattern. The first thing I would do is pull it out and take it to the truck to find out what is wrong.
I see what you were getting at with your post now.
I guess none of my chains work like they say they should. (I don't think i want them to, if that is what it entails
)
Hmm…… more to think about.
....edit.......
When I am using a chainsaw that has no vibration isolation, and it starts making that pattern on the left, then there is a low frequency hummm that I feel through the handles.
