Yeah, he's gonna want to race in Osage. LOL

So it'll be 24" .050 3/8 carbide race chain. :-0

Hahaha

I'd be in with 24" x 3/8" .050 -- cause I already got some.

I ain't ever done one of these chain races before, might as well start now.

I'll probably send 2 loops. I have one that's pretty good already. It's almost wore out.;)

l wish we had gtgz in Australia....everyone talks about 'that saw they ran at xxx gtg'. As for the chain build off, 72dl would be a lot easier to mod than 105dl. Back to gtg's l could not imagine a better way to spend the day....eating American smoked BBQ, drinking beer & runnin porded sawz till ya blue in the face!

You forgot about sweetheart american country gal with the big asses and shootin' guns.

The Only Post of yours I've Eva "Liked"

actually...
The gun shooting happens with regularity..
Sometimes trap.
Sometimes it's a tannerite filled mini mac...

You're not going to use a 20" cant of hedge are you?
So to clarify...
1. Make a chain by whatever means you want...
2. 84 DL any cutter configuration or type ya want.
3. 3/8 pitch
4. .063 or .050 gauge, whatever ya got hangin' on a hook...

Now, size of cant, and type of wood TBT...
There is your answer Matt.

No you can grind one. I've had decent luck grinding but find another 20% in cut speed by filing and nothing else done to the chain. All the other stuff will give you small gains but those big time guys looking for a big pay out it's worth it. They spend 30-40 hours on one chain.
