What ya runnin it on Cobey?

2159... i think the rakers are too high the chips are thin and you can push pretty hard .. it cuts smooth, I figure if i can get it to drag
the 2159 down a little it shoud be just right for your saw

will it grab harder in harder wood? ran it in cottonwood and 8 inch mulberry

I like carlton chain. The one I sent someone else was an old junk carlton I had laying around.

 

[cobey]

the only other saw i got a bar for 84 drivers is the "leatherface special" 245a poulan with a large mount husky bar stuck on it
that would not be a good comparison

You'll want it to positive feed, but be smooth and not bog the saw down...
Fine line there...
Don't want to have to reef on it either...

If my LMT cousin can beat my hip into submission tomorrow morning, I'll be repaired enough to stand and make a chain.

Cross yer fingers! I'd like to send a werk chain at least.

The old, old Carlton .404" is great chain. It has a profile very similar to Stihl's "high-tooth" .404"

took a little off the rakers... its a little better

 

[cobey]

getting a few more bigger chips after rakers adjusted.. a few 1/2 inch long ones not really what
you want , but ya cant put more raker on the chain...... in some wet mulberry the chips were small and crumbley :/ I think its just the wood

 

[Hedgerow]

I need some high tooth .404...
I'd like to file a loop of it..
The only .404 chisel I have, ain't much taller than the 3/8 Oregon I use..

You'll never get Mulberry to peel like pine...

I should send you a chunk of hedge...
It refuses to chip...
But you can noodle it and get some strings..
The cross sections break before they can get out. If you keep the rakers high and set the angle under the tooth to get a good peel, the chrome peels Back from the cutting edge.. /-:

That's because Osage is made from angel tears and cement.

Awe, it's just wood...
Sorta dense is all...
Steel is still harder, and rules the day!!!
