macman,
sorry to hurt fales and your feelings. he could have contacted me directly instead of having you defend his chain. i was not picking on him or his chain. i just stated that the chain that marky showed in his pic did not show me much. turns out it was not race chain at all. i missed the part of this tread where you posted your winnings using fales chain but i will go back and look at every post to find it.
also, anyone that knows about race chain can see in my pic it is not complete(ie: the rake is only in the rough stage).
i am still round filing because i have not perfected sqaure file. right now round file is MY fastest. seems to work.
$450.00 split 6 ways,over $1000.00 round trip to the west coast to compete? my math is bad but that does not add up. and i won't get to race against you? geeeeeeeeeeeeze. do you even race?
to everyone else,sorry this tread got so out of hand. marty

 

[MacDaddy]

chainsawmarty sorry you got offended but thf, cahoon, and barky are all ban. So I thought I could show you a picture of a competion chain. Just a look at what is used out here on the west coast. I don't have a Fales chain but have seen them win at alot of shows. BTW that's $450 for 1st $300 for 2nd on down the line to 6th place not to bad money. What does it pay to win a stocksaw race in your area? I just love to race marty so I'll race ya anytime win or lose. Have you even thinned or stoned a chain?

Sorry, lets try it again.

 

[Crofter]

Lobo, that looks like square ground or filed.

 

[Al Smith]

Perhaps it's the angle,but it looks like one variation of a ripping chain ie:cut at 90 degrees.Am I seeing things?

 

[Mange]

No.

 

[MacDaddy]

Looks like a piece of barb-wire to me. Maybe you treetrimmers would know better.

Nope I Just sand blast mine saves a bunch of time

 

[MacDaddy]

Show us a picture I would really like to see it.

I don't file or claim to know how to. I do know that Mr Fales probably has the best reputation as a filer. His 1/2 inch is second to none, I have seen many of his chains over the years, they are ???? fast. I only wish I had the patiance and time to make a quality piece like those. I buy the chains I race with. There are more great filers out there than just the ones that people pump up here. The chains I run are as fast as most anything I have ever seen, that is why I buy them. It's just like the crosscuts, bowsaws and axes I use. It is worth more to me to use them right than know how to make them. In closing, it takes more than equipment to win- anywhere you go.

race chain

Lobo , that looks like full house chain that has been modified for ripping . Scott

 

[MacDaddy]

404 tooth stoned and thinned

 

[MacDaddy]

The inside of the 404 tooth

 

[MacDaddy]

Here's a tooth from Gypo himself is he real the Man?

All you guys are sharp, no fooling yas.

It is a loop of 26 RS full comp chain, ground precisely at 90 degrees doubled row and in side by side contact for the picture. It is for ripping!

Congrats all !

Wish I could file likes Fales or Gypo however, I need to practice, practice and more practice.

 

[MacDaddy]

The 2 hones on the bottom are what you want to use to stone a chain not the small one.

 

[Crofter]

Surface ground teeth and grinding jig. Will hold 15 teeth.

Edit, sorry bout the size of that last pic. forgot to crop and resize

 

[Marky Mark]

Frank you think you could get a better pic of the jig, thanks.
