Straddle Chain

[svk]

Yes, the depth gauge and a true raker do totally different chores and it irks me for some reason when I read posts where chainsaw depth gauges are called rakers but I have learned to ignore the reference and just move on.

You could ask Todo to do an auto substitution script to change raker to depth gauges.


Sort of like when Darin added GFY.

I could but since it doesn`t really affect any real world problem ,best to let it slide.

Best to let the depth gauges slide too. Too much friction if they are pointy and dig in.

Old thread, but I have some fine example of straddle chain now thanks to Wayne Sutton. I'll get these cleaned up and feature them in the chain display I am working on.

Top - Bidirectional straddle scratcher
Second - Bidirectional straddle scratcher skip
Third - Straddle scratcher
Bottom - Stihl "square drive" scratcher...well used
