Have you guys had a chainsaw chain break while you were cutting? I have cut a lot of firewood over the years but have never had a chain break.
How soon do you retire your chains? I hand file so mine tend to last a long time before the cutter height is too low. I am wondering whether I should track the chain age/use and toss it at some regular interval to avoid the risk of a break.
How likely is the chain to cause an injury if it breaks? I know this is going to be guesswork - I am just trying to figure out how much to worry about it.
My most common saw is a Husky 350 on an 18" bar - that seems like enough chain to reach out and touch me if decided to part.
