hows you thread

I hear ya. Once in awhile I stay up late. Just not tired

 

Good morning

 

Am going to put the square grind on the 026 tomorrow at work. May work over / practice on the chain that’s currently on it. I can have one to look at while filing.

 

I wish I was in bed. Oh well.

 

Me too, or on the couch drinkin coffee, hangin out with my two dogs and watching the fireplace.

 

2146 here, enjoy the snow while it lasts.

 

I'd try and get the cutter straight up and down. Not leaning so much forward like the ones your dealer ground. Hard to tell from pics tho...they may be fine in pine

 

I did not go to bed until 0500 this morning.

 

Will be interesting figuring out what works for spruce.

 

I'd try what he ground, I guess. See if you like it. If so, you can duplicate his angles, and after 3 or 4 filings, he can square them back up for you.

But I think once you get the hang of it, you'll find that straight up and down is smoother.

 

Trying my best, its always nice if it stays but it usually turns into slushy very quick.
Id say this is the wettest year for the last 10 and it doesnt seem to get any better.
Lots of corn is still standing.

 

Sounds like a good plan.

 

Where do you live? I'm not familiar with your location description

 

What sort of filing is you doing to your chains?

 

Im a kraut, i live in the most northern state of germany.

 

This is normally all the forward lean you want

 

That's part of the fun I reckon. What I've gleaned from others & my own experiences is a little lean is ok & will make it self feed better. Too much robs power & combined with the angles you get with the lean dulls faster. Better to have a little beak than too much lean. Your results may vary.

 

We’re talking about square filing.

 

Ah, my sister lives in Munich.

 

Whats the purpose behind it and is their an open thread in the forum so i can read more into it?
