    No more than 10 minutes in one and about two hours in the other. One mod makes it "race" so I did what I thought would give me the most gains. Other mods were left out cause in my pea brain the gains would be minor.

    I didn't go full blown on mine either. Didn't think it would need them on that small power head.

    It would take me 2 hrs to do all that tunneling and back of cutters alone on the race one. :jaw:

    The one looks just like my round. See why only 10mins. :yes:

    Sent mine off yesterday. Working six days didn't have much time to mess with it. Some dude much smarter than me convinced me to square it up.

    I'll be overjoyed if it beats an "off the roll" ps3.

    cutf4fun Don't eyeball mine too close, it's ugly as hell but hopefully it'll cut alright. First one I've converted from round to square. Kept thinking to myself "why the $!?& am I wrecking a perfectly good chain?"

    It will be a great practice chain for you !
    You can file it again after its return trip. Pay attention to the cut witness marks in each tooth and "read" your chain
    If you can do OK on the PS/PS3, you will do even better with .375 !

    Different ends of the wood cants too. The stock chains were only ran when close to knots. Then cut off block with knots. So not the best wood area as used on chains sent it.

    PS PS3 use same cutters.
