I cut that type locus what is best for that I been using the yellow tab chain like was on my saw when I sent it to you. I got it back thanks
All I run now is semi chisel. I got tired of full chisel hardly lasting. Little dirt in the bark or some punky junk in the log and it's done, while semi chisel lasts and lasts.
I gave it a go with some semi chisel and it didn't help much. The chain doesn't look dull (has a glint on the cutter) and doesn't feel dull with a file (grabby when dull...slick when sharp) but it is still making as much dust as it does chips. After a couple cart loads the chain will need touched up but nothing terrible.
I was seeing some sparks while cutting the old barkless locust I've been hauling lately. Thought it was probably from the dirt that accumulated under the bark. Tried wiping down the logs before I cut them, but I didn't get it all off. On the bright side, I got some practice using my new set of hand files! Touched up the rakers on a couple pre-hand-file loops, and I was back to large chips again! I have an el cheapo electric chain grinder I've been using up until now. Keeps them sharp, but after a few sharpenings, I end up with dust instead of chips.
Theres a cart load pictured above. Usually it is neon yellow when fresh cut and turns dark orange later. This stuff is already orange.
The loaded cart pic disappeared. I saw it last night, now only a ? mark. I've been getting a lot of "bad gateway" errors, may be related.?
Maybe this Oregon® MultiCut™ gets the job done while costing substantially less than carbide chains. Available both in 3/8" pitch and .325" pitch chains http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/products/chain/M20_21_22_72_73_75LPX.htm
Looks like an LPX chain but ground at an angle more suited to a ripping chain... Should be pretty durable..
