My Husky 51/Woodsman Pro/Full Chisel

[Kenskip1]

Well, I may as well jump into the pond. Many others are doing it. This is my Husky 51 using Baileys Woodland Pro Full Chisel 16 BC/ 325/.058. Anyway this chain has been loitering around for a few years. This is my first video presentation, so feel free to make comments. This chain is 70% worn. However look at the chips.


WOW 65 views and not one comment. I must be doing something wonderfully right or terribly wrong

Due to a update on my YouTube channel the comments are now allowed. My apologies to anyone wishing to make a comment. Here are a couple images of the chain that was used. Thanks, Ken

Many computers cannot play this video, mine included. I have an ancient operating system and browser -- Windows XP and Mozilla FireFox. I'm preparing to upgrade.

FWIW, two years ago I upgraded a Husky 51 with a larger top end and it pulls a 20" bar rather well. The owner really likes it.

Looks like the chain is a bit dull and perhaps the rakers a bit too high. Also looks like your filing too high on the tooth.
That saw should self blow though that like butter with no dogging and its not.

Really? Did you see the chips coming off the saw? You have got to be kidding me!

I think he is kiddng. Just MHO. I once saw a guy with a chain in that shape win a saw-cutting title at a GTG. After he won, I asked to see his chain and almost fainted after I saw that it was anything but new.

Yea, really. Have to dog it like that in such small wood tells the story. Then the pictures of the teeth explain why.

 

[Kenskip1]

Well it just goes to show that you can still cut wood with a worn chain. I am happy with it and that's who counts. I really don't car how many messages he has posted. BTW,I sharpened it to the manufacture's specks. I know that he's kidding.
Hay BWalker, someone saw my video and has offered me $400 for it.

If your happy that's what matters...
But that chain isn't sharpened to factory specs by a long shot. File is too high and that's easy to see.

Stock 260 with a muffler mod for comparison.

Couple of missing rakers and teeth there by the looks? That might explain the sluggish performance.

I watched your video and the saw and chain seem to be performing just fine.
I did not hear the saw bogging down from having to lean on it and it is throwing chips not saw dust.
Good Job.
It is not like you are entering a race chain contest.

 

[bwalker]

If a saw is making dust instead of child the chain went south well before that point.

I am curious about one thing. To the OP. Why are some of the cutting teeth so much shorter than the others and are some the the cutting teeth missing.

Well sir, according to the box the chain came in it requires a 1/8 grinding wheel or a 3/16 file. The rankers are set according to the same instructions on the box .025--.028. I use my Jolly Star and set the raker's to what I see works.

None of the teeth are missing. My photography isn't that great. Inexpensive camera All the teeth are within a few 10ths of each other.

Thank you. It is nice to be appreciated.

Seems alright to me but i use only semi chisel because it is forgiving if sharpened and holds a edge longer.

Are some of the rakers missing?

No they are not missing. Just filed down. The distance from the raker to the cutter is significant. So according to the book "Chainsaw Savvy" buy Neil Soderstrum it is mentioned that the raker be taken down further to compensate for the distance. This is a full chisel chain.
