[QUOTE="trains, post: 7643483, member: 130941"] On some of my chains, I go for much less hook, as the wood is so hard, the higher hook just gets damaged so quickly, and i put very little wood in the trailer, and it takes quite a lot of filling to remove quite a bit of tooth, to get past the damaged area to give a good sharp point again. but for softer wood, or green wood, its a lightsabre :) edited to add Less hook for hard timber, cuts well, smooth cut, and edge lasts well, and puts lots of wood in the trailer before re sharpening, usual disclaimer about hitting hidden things that break or damage teeth :). [ATTACH type="full"]953251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]953252[/ATTACH] This cuts fine in green gum too, but if I was to spend a day on pine, I would either reprofile the cutter, or run a different chain with more hook.
