Nice and crisp ......... but what does Hedges chain look like ? He posted so many pictures, which one did he end up running ?
And thanks for entering the "stock" stuff, that was good to see.

Procrastinator........Oh I've read your slow.
He maybe slow but he has some slower saws
I think it was missing 4 consecutive cutters.

It was the one I did nothing to but file...
The chain I spent 6 hours on had 4 cutters ripped off when I tested it..
The only thing I had time to do was grind the crap out of a spent, rocked chain, then file it square..
It was near the witness mark, and I didn't take any off the rakers..

Steve = Here is the results of the chain build off. I want to thank everybody who sent chains and Monday I will be sending the chains back to you. I am sorry i missed the target date on the build but a new little lumberjack came in to jays and my life so it had to be put off. Jay has a grandboy to be proud of

I think most would be faster with the right powerhead... This was a pretty aggressive bunch of chains...
If you all don't mind, I'll test a bit further this weekend.

I can bring my chain entry back to ya this weekend, and help swap the chains. How would you like to try them on a vintage Jonsered saw?!

HACK
Yours was .063 and had to run on a Stihl bar, which was the reason it was slowed down.So from what i am reading ,stock off the roll is the sharpest it will ever be
Carry on .......
Cause Stihl is german for "SLOW"

Yes... Yes I would...
You got a bar in .063 for Brian's chain? and .050 for the rest?
