Windy again today and cold. I'll have to break out the flannel lined jeans to test the Poulan.

Just four days ago the fuel in the Wards 5.0" came to a rolling boil in mid 60's noodling pine.

After a couple swipes to clean it out.

I played with with the tri file last night
Seemed odd

The nice thing about the triangle file is it can be used in a Granberg or similiar type file guide....a BIG plus for some of us.

I need to play with my grandberg some.
And my grinder.
Btw... thanks for my Christmas presents Thomas

That's with those three corner files. It looks like if I drop it, I loose my corner alignment. That's with the guy's angles in that Granberg info. I wonder if all I can do is just clean it out the way it is??

Does the hard line split right through the working point?
Or is it lower.?

 

[Hedgerow]

How much side plate angle do you like? I have read that 80 to 83 from horizontal is fast for square chain.

Would that be the forward lean? If so, then yes, 83 from horizontal will work. 80 would leave 10 degrees forward, and may be a bit excessive. Not as smooth.

Matt is turning all of us into square filing junkies...

Yes forward lean. Guessing to much lean is bad or slower

Can pull it down, or stop the chain in the cut....

The Poulan 3700 did fine in the large pine.


Cut block in half and then in thirds. Fingers got cold so I went back to the house.

Handy so I don't make a mess in the alley.[emoji6]

Need to rethink the leather glove thing.

A shur way to find something bad in a tree is to put a square work chain on

I'm really happy that saw has come to life.

 

[67L36Driver]

Wish I had a portable splitter. I'd split it up and haul it to Jim.

Or, sell it $4.97 a bundle at Casey's General Store.[emoji48]

I wonder who buys that bundled wood?

Right through the working point.

Should cut good then. I wish we would have played with it a bit Saturday. Has a bit of a curved side plate like a goofy file.

Yes forward lean. Guessing to much lean is bad or slower

Too much lean will cut, but just not as smooth. Seems like the best chains I've run have had no more than 4 or 5 degrees forward lean.

I got a round chain somewhere
Someone put a stupid amount of
Angle on it it cuts, but is like running
A machine gun !
