    I had planned to.
    It is a mixture of 066 parts and was done by Brent Combs.
    The cylinder and covers are Red light but the crankcase is a early poly flywheel type.
    The starting handle is from a 460 rescue saw.
    It is just woods ported. You can run it all day.
    It has been around North Central Ohio since around 2008.

    How much do you shape the tie straps or clip the tail of the cutter. I was going to grind some 325 chain but it sounds like a waist of time. Sticking to 3/8 chain. I did some 404 but have not tried it yet. I did get to try the 3/8 LP square chain. Me like! I think I have the theory of square chain but not the time to put paper to practice. Don't think filing in the hotel rooms would go over very well.

    I had thought about a vise to hold a filing jig so I could file in motels while I was traveling.

    40 something years ago I built model airplanes in hotel rooms all the time. There was a lot of sanding dust???

    Why do you trim the rakers?

    Less weight and drag. The chain wasn't done there. I had finished clipping the heel cleaning the gullet and tunneling a little bit on the cutter. The rakers a been thinned but not set yet.

    Here's a video of the 550 with the chain I filed to send off to a chain race and didn't get to finish the rest up on it. Chips in my hand at the end.

    It was a smooth cutting chain. Might try to run it on the 390 to see what it will do.

    9 pin wouldn't fit. Have to trim the bar. I put an 8 pin on and run it. The chain needs more raker depth for a big saw.
