I hit a pipe in the centre of an old Cottonwood once. Done a sh*tload of damage to a 60" .404" chain It was of the steel variety though...

Do you mean you can't borecut with .404"?
If not try holding your tongue on the other side.

 

[WidowMaker1]

I just make a bore/plung cut straight into the heart of the tree and watch the colour of the chips ...if they go to dirt, & you feel a pipe ....off to the next tree for me.

Or more importantly change your felling technique unless of course you are running this super awesome homemade NASA farm spec mill incorporating 28kg of welding rods and need good logs...

What brand of semi and are the rakers set up properly? Low rakers and bore cutting do not mix.

yeah its all good, just i hate stringys with pipe's, usually the more mature the stringy is the more termite infested it could be ..never had a prob boring with .404 tho mate.
