Afflicted with C.A.D., again, it became clear that a 70cc + saw was the only way to ward off the chainsaw DTs! Recently, a Holzfforma G466 arrived. Included is a ripping chain. I don't have plans to mill lumber. Should I take the chain to my OPE dealer & have him grind it to a regular cutting chain?
I’ve milled a metric chit ton of wood. Never once used dedicated ripping chain to do any of it. I have used the stuff before. It was rather slow ime. If it has scoring “cutters”, I’d leave it as ripping chain. Pics?
Here is a picture. The angle it's sharpened at is very shallow, 10° or so. I have no use for tbis chain.
If the entire chain looks like regular stuff with the 10degree top plate, you could certainly file at normal crosscut angles. Do you see any cutters that look different from those pictured? Scoring cutters look much narrower, like 3/4 of the top plate isn't there.
