SawTroll in another thread you said not to use a raker guide that sets on top of the chain. I have one of the Stilh raker guides that lays ontop of the chain, why would you not recommend using it? I'm not doubting your word on this, you have far more expierence than I, but I just want to know why this style is poorer at the task than some other style. I will say I'm not sure if this guide should point toward the chain brake or away from the chain brake when it is being used and it is hard to hold steady without rocking. If one of the other styles is simpler and better to use I'm all for it. Again I'm not busting on you, I only want to learn from those that have used all types of guides and why they prefer a certain style.
