Square filing chains

Madsens sells loops of chain at 2 for 1 prices. I think it's around $35 a dl and you pay for the longest loop. You can mix and match.

 

Thanks, PM sent. Not sure how I missed it

That sounds like a good deal. I'll keep that in mind.

 

A few of these would not have made it through one cut ....................changing out the cutters today. (Like picking up roadkill and tossing it off to the side)

 

Those teeth were a little short.

 

Yeah, but they are sharp little muthas !!! The first pic has the corner still holding some of my skin

 

Suggestions for thinning the rivets?

 

Flapper wheel on a dremel, files, or whetstone and go down the side. This is a chain a great guy in NM made several years back.

 

This what I used, Dynabrade belt sander.

 

Thats just GREAT !!

NOW ............. I am going to have to take more off !!!
Now that you two are slappin up pics everywhere of tools of destruction and bling bling chains

Last place ................ here I come !!!!!

 

That's not my chain. That's one of the guys from the old racesaws days. I think he had 25 hours in it.

 

Mike, does lowering the gullets down to the rivet level on all the links help?

 

Yes. I do it on round filed chain and square filed.

 

I learned dog boning wasnt necessary even for 3ci chains. Also you can do all you want to a racechain. Just dont forget to stone it for the final touch. Yes a gooooood chain likes to get stoned.

By the way I dont know chit about doing gooood chains so dont listen to me because I stunk with a file. But I have seen way worse

 

Top of the straps for work chain. Lower for other chains.

 

TF chain?

 

I been looking for a good stone for a while... Something that holds up better than conventional.
