Wanted! square files

Felling and bucking trees, yes .............. no stump grinding, but I have been known to choke on 2 cycle fumes getting stumps real close to the ground. Cant do that with a 3/4 or full wrap, but I usually tell people to call the stump grinder and I cut the stumps as low as the 3/4 will let me now-a-days................... untill my 066 decides it wants some action, then it will be a challenge again to see how long I can hold my breath before I have to walk away to breathe

 

So is stoning done to the sides, or the tops ?

 

Sides.

 

No wonder I haven't seen any difference

 

I just found this info

 

Run your hand along a cookie that has been cut by a stoned chain and one that hasnt been.

we all must get stoned or go home. I didnt do alot of that stuff to my stock looking chain and it cost it the little time needed. But that happens when you make a chain on the quick side.

 

3ci chain build off

3 cuts with a stock chain and the times was 3.53 2.91 3.12 with a average of 3.18

C and D were mine. D was 2nd and had no work done to it.

C chain was a B-grrrrrrr drawing blood and a couple of (2) hours of time trying to fix mistakes. Tried to fix a cutter I tried that was way to aggressive and then took the rakers to low when I got the tooth back to far. Never did get the cutter back where I wanted it No stoning, tunneling or anything either.

D I had less then 1 hour on it. No stoning, tunneling or anything. Just a work chain square filed at about the right tooth length.

H NOT ME but Cale was 1st with all the stuff done. H had over 10hrs in his chain. grinding, filing and stoning into that chain.

Chains sent in
a 2.60 2.41 2.40=2.47
b 2.50 2.69 2.40=2.53
c 3.00 2.76 2.65=2.80
d2.28 2.35 2.25=2.29
e 2.56 2.34 2.50=2.46
f 3.50 3.15 3.15=3.26
g2.38 2.31 2.44=2.37
h 2.18 2.25 2.28=2.23

 

Ty for the info interesting

 

I can't remember which one mine was.

 

Me either lol

 

I want to say A

 

Were all these times done by the same operator ?

 

Do you really think we would use a different operator for a race chain build off.

Good Lord give us some credit this isnt our first rodeo like some people.

Same OP, same saw, hmmmm guess what same wood, same mix, same air, same day.

Just having fun with ya.

 

Hey Skippy.......while your at it, may as well try to score diamond impregnated bevel files also.

 

I thought so but didn't go digging. I do a lot better for bigger saws.

 

I suk at chains no matter what size using. Just get lucky sometimes.

Thats why I say. Dont waste time doing all the BS to one before you know if it can make the cut or not.
Now which one of my 2 do you think I would spend the extra time on. Everything on that other one would be a waste of time. JMO

 

I am thinking of a simington (spelling) swing arm grinder
