build off challange

Dennis, I note that that cutter does not have the groove of the file going to the actual point of the cutter, but to a short distance lower than the point. Is that the best way you've found to sharpen square chisel?

there i'm all caught up, whew!

I find it funny that some talk of modding a saw for work but wouldnt mod a chain for work.....now lets see:

to Dennis Cahoon:

In what year did you switch from .404 to 3/8 for falling? why?
when did you start to use square ground chain for falling?
did you just use stock square/round chain for falling or did you modify it to better suit your needs?

cheers,
Serg

Stoning the tooth causes a slight beek to pop out. It's in the point more than it looks.

U know what they say, "once u go Bear, you never... umm....uhhh...." Well I'm pretty sure they say somethin....

Jer, you better send that hormone cream back and stop buying stuff from midnight infomercials.

About 1974 I switched to 3/8's from 404......At first it didn't hold up as good(smaller tooth) and broke on ocassion, but was always much faster in the limbs......Never did use chipper chain except on the landing saws bumping knots......Was always changing my angles around looking for a chain that cut best in the wood we were cutting at the time. Only modified the backs on a work chain for a smoother bore, but always was big on cleaning out the gullets and maintaining the height of my depth gauges. A smooth cutting chain what I was always looking for. I did grind my work chain, but touched up and learned to file with both hands, and only file racechain.

Dennis, I think I saw a picture of you on a Bultaco. Was that at Southgate?

Nope!.....this is at Cycleland Speedway.....1971 Pursang! What do think of those Evel Knievel leathers?......Hahahahahaha!

 

[husq2100]

Dennis, did you run a pop-up in your bike

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Dennis, did you run a pop-up in your bike

Hahahahahaha!......No!.....that was a fast engine, dome piston, dike ring, and came stock with boost ports.......and soon got the fullcircle crank stuffed.

 

[Terry Syd]

Yeah, that was the picture I remembered. Funny how so many of those track walls all looked the same.

 

[edisto]

Lol. Like you said, that's only racing until you see a real race saw! That's an entirely different ballgame.

It's not different, just a long way down the improvement continuum. It just doesn't make sense to me to pick a point on the line between stock and racing and say "I'm not interested".

Don't like self appointed "moderators", "spell checkers", "Grammar correctors", anal retentive pukes in general.

I think at least one of those should be hyphenated.

Now THAT is an excellent point.

Especially up close!

bring the family, i have a nice camper you can use

That would be a bit of a drive, for sure not the longest I've had to drive but still a long one! About 9 hours for me, and I'll have to drive through that miserable place called Chicago :mad2:

interesting that most of us are here for chain saws yet few are interested in a CHAIN competition. Seems to my by virtue of the name "CHAIN" is at least 50% of the "CHAIN SAW" equation...

Just a crazy idea but if modding the chain made it louder would more of us be in to it?

ED. Lmberman beat me by 4 min....I need to type faster.

 

[mdavlee]

I think chicago is 9 hours for me. How far past chicago would it be? I've made several 1900-2200 mile drives already so why not a 1k if i'm not busy working.

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

i'm interested in all of it from repairing a stock saw to full blown race saws and from proper chain sharpening techniques to building all out race chain. i just don't know much about it so i keep quiet for the most part and try to read and learn.
