Friendly Chain Competition

[Hedgerow]

I saw the semi chisel ,one second off the square ,am still scratching muh noggin

It had a lot of hook, but I could still bore cut with it... Rakers were not low, but it was agressive...
And missing teeth...

If I remember right, the fastest chains in the pine were leaving good sized chips, but not the long, thin peelings.

I agree good sized chips but not long, there were a couple that had long thin peelings but they weren't the fastest. It seemed good chip size on fastest were close or just below 1/2" IIRC

To much going on with just my phone.
Posted a text msg. At least it wasn't dirty [emoji15][emoji50]

is the dolly any faster with a 7 pin vs 8 like muh steels ?seems like the tourque works better on my saws for bite when i am cutting with a 7 ,the 8 feels like a tire burning out losing traction

The 8 has proven faster in the past, but who knows...

I know that I have learned a lot by particapating in this "comp" and by you posting pics of the chains...I think one of my problems is by putting to much forward lean on the side cutter...thanks guys for taking the time to do this!

And don't take any off the rakers until absolutely necessary.
I noticed your chain made a rather large gain from slower than RSL in the nasty stuff to faster than RSL in the pine...
I would have liked to put about .015 back on those rakers and cut again, cause they did remove material pretty good.

 

[Hedgerow]

Something I noticed about the winning chain and the RSL... Both had top plate angles of 15-20 degrees...
In hard shattering stuff, I'm wondering if that did not aid those cutters... Once in the softer stuff, they lost their advantage...
Hmmmmm.....
Alan's chain was set up for sheer material removal... I'm thinking 6 cube type chain there... Or a strong 5 cube at least..

Interesting results. It seems some may have still been a bit aggressive.

how is the 064 power over the dolly ? any more tourque ?

 

[Hedgerow]

Maybe Alan or Redhorse can recall the time the 064 turned in with one of my decent 72dl GTG chains? I bore cut with it too, so it don't have low rakers.

064 has more sheer horsepower... Normally like 10-15% better cut times?? Ish???

 

[sunfish]

Nobody seems to have noticed the semi chisel, semi skip jack hammer times...

I noticed. That's all I run here in the woods...

 

[awol]

I don't remember exactly what the 064 time was, but it seemed reasonably close to the others.
Here are some pics of my "race chain"

At least a couple of seconds faster, so much so I forgot I was timing and just stood there in awe [emoji2]. I want to say in the hackberry it was around 5.5 and pine was 6 something. Alan do you remember closer numbers?

Alan, I forgot to ask what that chain started out as.. Was it oregon?

 

[awol]

Yeah, it was. You couldn't tell?!

 

[wigglesworth]

I need to make some chain.

Anybody have an extra day of the week they can loan me?

 

[awol]

Just make the saws, Hedge will loan you a chain!

I'm thinking one of my ground work chains would have smoked my race chain attempt.
