I believe the original question was, I used to file my chains all the way back to the witness mark, now I run out of adjustment first, care to discuss this. It wandered to worn sprockets make chains stretch. The pictures (early on) were to show how much adjustment there would be for a new chain assuming the travel of the adjuster and the length of the slot ran out together. That is what I had in mind when I made my first post here. It could be you used to hit rocks and sharpen away more. Pretty much has been covered by now I would think. If for the 81 dl .325 bar and chain if 80 would fit to start with I would prefer that. As for the 3/8 72dl one making it a 71 will make two cutters the same side and a skip the most common way to do it. Those bars he is using are to fit all the way up to 661 size so more teeth on the drive sprocket surely is in the mind of the designers.

[QUOTE="Franny K, post: 7633216, member: 97597"] I believe the original question was, I used to file my chains all the way back to the witness mark, now I run out of adjustment first, care to discuss this. It wandered to worn sprockets make chains stretch. The pictures (early on) were to show how much adjustment there would be for a new chain assuming the travel of the adjuster and the length of the slot ran out together. That is what I had in mind when I made my first post here. It could be you used to hit rocks and sharpen away more. Pretty much has been covered by now I would think. If for the 81 dl .325 bar and chain if 80 would fit to start with I would prefer that. As for the 3/8 72dl one making it a 71 will make two cutters the same side and a skip the most common way to do it. Those bars he is using are to fit all the way up to 661 size so more teeth on the drive sprocket surely is in the mind of the designers. [/QUOTE]
