That chain is just everyday work chain i use ,the gullets are not even cleaned out ,i will keep those angles ,but clean up the teeth some more than that chain ,seems like i can get steeper angles with a grinding wheel then my file

I never could get all the angles I wanted with a grinder. I would file them even after grinding if it wasn't just for cutting firewood.

I dont do this stuff anymore as I lost interest but will be watching your results and videos.

So I dont have to back track. What wood and size you testing in? What saw cc and gear? Ported I take it?

I just used a ATOP square guide and square hand file to do this one. Lot left on the plate that could have been done too.

Found a little time to start my chain today. This is just the beginning. I have much, much more to do. Tunneling, inside rakers, rakers, rivets, and more sharpening. 100% by hand, I'm going to do it all this way.

Jasha, I like to clip the heel as well.

Honestly bud, I am doing everything off of photos I have seen. I've only ever ran work chain. So I'm pretty excited about trying and learning.

Same here ,my cutter angles are my work chain ones ,all I did was grind the gullets first ,and took the usg to the rakers so they looked closer to my old rsf chains,I have no idea what else to do even set rakers to my workchain .025 settings

I'm going .017 on my rakers for now, I'll run the chain eventually then make adjustments if needed.

I think you guys will find you can run your stops lower, especially if you're 1/2 or better back on the tooth.
