Full House Chisel vs Full Skip

[Gypo Logger]

While in Washington State last week, I spent some time at the Barage with Robert Andrews, anyway, we had just come back from Madsens where Robert had purchased a new Efco grinder and 5 dozen more Hickory shirts. So we set up the grinder and put the shirts in the local lake to shrink them just right.
Anywho, to demonstrate my round grinding prowess to Robert, he handed me a 36" Oregon full skip chisel, while he was hand filing a 36" Oregon full house chisel with a square file.
After grinding away 5 pounds of teeth and raker on my full skip, Robert and I decided to compare times of the 2 chains, so we mounted the chain on an 088KD and 36" bar. Robert cut a 28" in 7 sec. with his chain, while I made the cut in 12.56 on the same bar and saw.
This tells us one of two things: either I am a lousy filer or full house square chisel is a whole lot faster than full skip round ground chisel.

I think it's both. Hahaha

Or that Robert, being the consummate competitor, secretively and specially tuned the saw for your run.

Did you guys mess around with the RoyalFlush® chain during this last visit?  I don't recall ever seeing any results posted for it.

Glens, The royal flush was indeed run at the Weekend Hoot. The trouble was that it was fitted to a sadly lacking saw (Dennis you are not reading this are you?). When the times were not very interesting (and no chains are interesting when Art Martin chains are present) we just didn't remember them. Now don't get the idea that beer consumption had anything to do with lack of remembering, I don't think that was it (I can't remember for sure). Anyhoo the saw is now at Yodas and will soon fly the royal flush through a log in jig time. Mike

After speaking to Ken regarding that "sadly lacking saw" He informed me that he is now fitting it with a pipe, so it will really tear up the wood.

Mike...what were the times of your saws again..?? I don't remember......

Dennis, my best recollection is:
1. 046 in 19" fir with full house, royal flush- 12min. 46.098 sec.
2. Same chain and log with my saw- 2.045297 sec.
Don't cry Dennis we can't all build fast saws! (and how could we?). Mike

 

[dbabcock]

Wrong, Mike. You've overstated the 046 cutting time. It was not 12 min. 46.097 sec., it was 12 min. 46.091 +/- .0015 sec.

 

[Dennis]

Mike....now you are comparing your 500 Kawi against an 046? If so...I think you got the times backwards.

Here I thought you guys were my friends. I make a couple minor, budweiser driven, errors and you point them out to the whole world.
Doug did I point out the incident with the womans unmentionables, the blow-up doll and the rental car--NO!
Dennis did I point out to the entire forum the large wet spot on the trailer mattress when your rubber undergarments split--NO!
But you guys, my friends, embarass me to all the valuable members on this site and I will be forced to forever hang my head in shame because of my inability to moderate my hopps intake.
Sincerly Yours, error prone as a pig on a bicycle, Mike
