Full chisel chain reshape to semi chisel ripping chain

[Desko74]

I have a a lots of full chisel, therefore I did not want to buy an oem ripping chain, I tried to make own by hand ..... it seems like works.

That’s a lot of work for semi chisel.

Regular chain cuts quite a bit faster than milling chain. It’s filed to 10° so it leaves a better finish, but gives up some efficiency

You took the chrome plating off the working corner of that chain. I wouldn't expect it to stay sharp for long even if it does cut decent at first.

agree with ironman, the chrome plating does the work, removing it is what happens to a chain when its gone dull.
would have been better to convert to rip chain angles and/or use granberg style with the chisel chain you have without chamfering the side and top plate points-probably would have barley noticed a difference- imo

Dumb thought.....

Considering a chisel and semi chisel cutter are each designed differently the whole way along the edge(s), how well/easily will it take a second filing as semi-chisel compared to filing it as one or the other normally?

It seems like the tooth always will have a propensity to be set as a chisel, regardless of how you file it.

Further, will it actually cut true to semi-chisel? Or will it have aspects of both teeth?

Am I overthinking this?

Do you people who do this kind of stuff put no value on your time?!

What's wrong with milling with chisel chain?

Rough surface. I made a bench with a milled fir and done with an H47 chain. Lots and lots of hand planeing and sanding.

What about square chisel? What is the speed in the cut vs smoothness of product. I’m looking at milling some lumber for building pallet racking.
