Filing Granberg Ripping Chain (Depth Gauges)

[WolfMann]

Hey everyone, getting deeper into the CSM addiction. Picked up my first Granberg chain the other day, what a difference. Have a quick question about the depth gauges though, the sheet they sent along with chain suggested filing depth gauges of scoring cutters .010" lower than clearing cutters. It also suggested a depth gauge measurement of .028" for 3/8 pitch chain. So if I'm understanding right I should set DG for clearing cutters at .028" and scoring cutters at .018". Does that sound about right? Thanks in advance.

I am interested in this as well. I just got a chainsaw mill. Haven't tried it yet. It's way too hot here for that right now. What kinds of chainsaw have you tried so far?

Husky 394xp with a 36 inch bar on it. I was milling with a round chisel before, so I really appreciate how much cleaner/faster the cuts are with the Granberg.

What are you running Ammo?

I just built one of the ms660 kit saws. I ordered the huztl 36" mill while it was on sale, but I haven't tried it yet. I have a 25" bar with semi chisel chain on it.

The scoring depth gauges should be lower than the clearing DG's so that they cut first

Is that the huztl 660 kit saw Ammo? How do you like it?

 

[WolfMann]

Thank you Albert, think I had it backwards I'd want .028" on clearing cutters and .038" on scoring cutters. I like the diagram, where did that come from?

 

[ammoaddict]

It is. I like it pretty well for the price. I enjoyed building it. I learned a lot from doing it. It's decent quality except for a few minor parts that are junk.

Cheers, I saved it from a Pommy website www.chainsawbars.co.uk

Albert, your beerstein name cracks me up.

Got a second loop of the Granberg chain, depth gauges measure .018 on scoring and clearing cutters (stock) going to leave clearing cutters at .018 and take scoring cutters down to .028 and see how that does.

Wolfman, I am right behind you. I am prepping to get my first chains and get my Granberg Mill and saw set up and ready to mill in a few weeks.

CSM is an addictive process Chilipepper, be careful...
