Dexter, a thought for your 6400

12" cant is cool. Keeps it very even then. Can use same chain and bar too. Can try both rims to see if the 8 will pull them down any.

 

Very very interesting

 

If the wood is clean. I got a square chain I made for competition saws site chain build off in 20". I loaned it out for a guy to run on a 3120 stock saw for racing and it got 1st twice. Chain isnt the fastest out there but good enough for a hack that dont know how to square file. Made using ATOP guide.

 

Different chain then mine. Goran from Sweden did this one I am testing here.

Using a stock Dolmar 7900 with 8T, testing out the new ATOP hand filed square work chain from Goran of Sweden.
Testing 11 chains in 10"x10" very firm dry poplar.

Yeah I was into this stuff at one time. Now I dont care as long as the wood gets cut. Wood has no clue how fast you cut it anyways.

 

Same Goran chain on Big Dave Nieger ported 357. 7T rim.

Tested ATOP square filed chain in 10"x10" very dry firm poplar cant that has been setting over a year. Saw used was 357 xp set very rich by ear and then checked with tach at 13.8K.

 

Is that 7900 stock ? I have never used a square cut chain. What are some benefits and drawbacks ? Do you need a certain cc range to safely and efficiently use one ? Sorry if im derailing this thread. A lot of good info on here

 

stock 7900 with lot of time on it back then.

 

I dont do square for work chain anymore. I cant file for chit and not needed for firewood. Some guys like it though and buy square grinders for such.
