I have been doing lots of reading, asking and researching about ripping chain.
The more I learn about them the more confused I get. Everyone gives me different information and I am just not sure who to listen to anymore.
I am curious what is going to be the best solution for ripping mainly NW red cedar but some other woods like maple and douglass fur. My saw is a Husky 2100 CD with a 36" bar and we are using a Granberg alaskan mill 36"
I am also curious why I have been hearing so many different versions of ripping chain from so many sources? Is it word of mouth? I prefer getting information from somebody who is experienced in this field and has been milling with a chainsaw for some time and actually know what they are talking about. (I am not saying anyone on here has given me bunk info.) Local people.
I would imagine the chain selection is going to depend on how smooth of a cut I need as well. I would like to know both. For the most part our milled wood will be used for outdoor use and for mt bike features, so smooth cuts are not applicable for that need. However I am getting interested in making some furniture as well and would like to know if a different ripping chain would create a smoother cut that would help for less sanding later on.
Thank you for helping. (great forum guys. I appreciate all the help I have already gotten from here.)
