dont want her to cut her tonge,take off chain

What do you all think of this? Instead of having a build off which I am all for, or in addition to, what if we have a chain race! I dont have the time to do another saw right now and there are folks on here that are not builders but can sharpen a mean chain.

Lets set it up like this, 2 catergories: round filed, square filed.
The chain is to be 3/8 chisel of any flavor and would have 72dl and have the 3 bars that go with them (.050 .058 .063).
Anyone can enter and sharpen in any way (file, grind, etc).
One powerhead will be used and have a non bias non competetor run the saw.
Run 2 timed cuts with 2 stopwatches.
Fastest in each category (round, square) will win a prize.

I'll help with either race and I have a 20" 5o gauge bar to use.

Use the top of the bar...... Less mess that way! Might want to stand clear of the bar nose for that.

I was thinking that I would like to add one more category! Semi chisel... Some of us run it but how fast can you make it?

Maybe I am completly wrong on this but we don't have any empericle evidence on how long a chain will keep it's edge and what the speeds are. And maybe this is way to much trouble but... should we race the chains first thing and then have the top 3 run and cut all afternoon and then take times again in the afternoon to see how they hold up over an afternoon of cutting?

Just seems there is so much speculation on round vs chisel; square grind vs round... would be cool to see some actual hard numbers on cut times in all variations!

Just grab a loop of RMC and enter it...:msp_sneaky:

Not really worried about how fast my daughter cuts, yet anyway.

 

[mweba]

Can I just show up, talk with like minded people and eat....a lot. What it all comes down too anyway..



Did I use the correct "too" Shaun?

 

[TALLGUY]

Not a matter of keeping it out of the dirt for some. It is keeping the metal out of the wood.:msp_wink:

Let her get some tips from all of us and she will be cuttin faster than you in no time!
