    I was cutting 30" ish diameter oak logs yesterday and on my 5th or 6th cut, I hit metal about 6" into the wood which of course had me saying words I won't type here. I then got to thinking about the I don't always memes..[​IMG]

    So mine for yesterday, it would read "I don't always hit metal but when I do, it's with a newly sharpened chain. What are ones you can add here?

    I am not sure I would rather hit a nail with my saw chain or band mill blade....
