jumping chain

[titan]

i tried a square filed chain today that i made when i went to cut with it the first couple of inches it seemed to cut fine but the farter i would get in the block it would kind of jump in the wood and make a real rough cut and sometimes it wood almost stop the chain but i could cut in popler and it seemed to not be as bad the rakers are set at 0.025any help would be great TITAN

Are you sure the rakers are set the same?

Top plate angle is probably way off.

chain

it was a knew chain it was the one i got with my saw but when we tried it in quebec the day i got it we dulled it some so i went over it and i must have done something to it but all i done was put the edge back it again talk to you later TITAN

Titan if you are cutting wood that the chain was not made for it will jump , also if the rackers are lower than what power thesaw has they will jump , now you said you refiled it , does your side plate look like it did before you started because most likely you put alot of hook on the side plate and that is making it grabby
