He's put a buttload of time in on his chain, far more than I'll have time put in on mine. His will probably cut the space-time continuum!

How much time do I have? Been pretty swamped.
Never mind, remembered Nov 1. No longer than 2 weeks and it will be there.

We will sure try... I'm hoping to enlist Mweba to vid it for us and edit it to something not a pain to watch..
Stihl plenty of time to get my green semi cheezel on the end of bar sharpener to y'all????
I think it would be neat to have a two sided cutter so that it cuts either way put on the bar.
Need to get some super high speed video of the chains in action at full speed cutting a kerfs width off the end of the cant, so you can see how the rakers and cutters move.
Then a 3 dimensional analysis of the chips from each chain, then we can see what works best!!!

How A Cutter Tooth Works
If you are going to sharpen saw chain, it is important to have a good understanding of how a cutter tooth works.
Step #1. The depth gauge rides against the wood or bark and controls the thickness of the chip the tooth tries to cut. On a hand held chain saw, the depth of this bite is usually .025" or about half the thickness of a dime.
Step #2. The corner digs into the wood at the level set by the depth gauge and begins severing the cross grain. Most people don't realize the corner and side plate do the hardest work.
Step #3. The top plate angle lifts the severed cross grain out of the kerf. Under normal cutting conditions, this is easier work than severing cross grain.
The movement of the chain causes the chips to flow under the tooth. The space under and behind the cutter tooth carries the chips to a point where they can be expelled..

I'm going to try to have a chain done. Definitely a beginner, how many cuts does it have to make? LOL

Essentially, 1...
But ya might wanna stretch it out to 4 or 5...

Looks like Worksaw Collector, Oliver1655, Awol, and Homelite410 will be bringing their chains to run also...

Depends on if Matt finds something other than a concrete road barrier to test in!

Green? I've cut green sugar maple and though it was fairly soft.
