Got a loop of chain which won't run right no matter the bar. For those of you who are curious, it's a 32" loop of Oregon round chisel, 72-something. I don't know Oregon numbers too well.
Here's the symptom. You know that sound when you load the washing machine off-balance and it vibrates the whole house? You go downstairs, move one pair of socks to the other side of the washer, and everything balances out again? Yeah, well, that's what it feels like running this chain.
At first I thought it was an uneven grind (caliper says no), then I thought it might be a banged-up driver, but I couldn't find any telltale shiny spots or see any distortions. It's also not any links failing to articulate, and it's not the bar or the saw, because I got the same vibration on 3 different bars on 2 different saws. I suspected a clutch for a moment until I tried the other saw, which put that theory to rest pretty quickly.
Ideas?
