    Makes me wonder if a scratcher type chain would be best in such a scenario , besides carbide, or a carbide scratcher chain. At least you could more easily lever thin dull pointy teeth into the wood than a wide dull top plate.

    How do the chips get in the kerf on a horizontal cut? Surely you've seen chips shooting out the top front of the clutch cover and bouncing off the log. It's really noticeable when noodling, because if you don't back the power head away from the log some, so the noodles don't pile up against the...

    That pointed gullet is just going to catch resistance. I think race chains might work so well because there's so much extra room around the teeth for chips to go. Kinda like how a hand saw plugs up easily. It rakes well enough, but there's no more room for chips to go. Those chips have to get...

    Just remember how long chainsaws have been around. As much as we like to find a better way, the better way has probably been discovered long ago. The lower the depth gauges are, the thicker the chips, which don't bend and break easily, so they get jammed in the rails really tight and also...

    Leaving it like a wall will make it harder to sever the fibers with the side plate. It's not worth trying to rake chips out better. Chainsaws have teeth and depth gauges, no need for rakers since the whole chain rakes well enough.

    Easy peasy with a flat depthgauge file and a vise. It can take 2-3 hours to sharpen a neglected one, but a touchup should be like a long saw chain. There's 4 surfaces to file on 2 sides, so it's like filing 4 teeth on a chain, flip the chain over and another 4 teeth where the drive links would...

    Strangely, race chains are designed to be more streamlined, and less rakey. Saws only get so fast. I'd be more concerned with getting the chips out of the clutch cover before they are forced through the rails and cut again.

    I don't think that size of face adds much flexibility without multiple back cuts to distribute the flex. Most small electrical cords have a protective extension coming off the plugs that basically has a series of kerfs to enlarge the bend radius possible at the plugs, so a frequent hard kink in...

    How does the thinning work? They look like they are planted too close together.

    The real one unfortunately. Be glad you don't fit in that generalization, but I think it is a true one.

    Is your 193/194 stock or ported?

    Until they arent. Pushing trees isn't easy. My dad thought very highly of his track loader. He was going to plow down a 15" hickory for me and drag it out. I told him it wouldn't work. He went full speed at it (2.5mph) and slammed to a stop, then kept pushing up and down with the bucket...

    Not as worth it density wise, but I'd block it with a ported 90cc chainsaw. No splitting. Mill into firewood.

    Lots of nice firewood. I'd save it all down to 2" if it's hard maple.

    My desktop computer also has 100x zoom on the scroll wheel. What matters is optical zoom not digital.

    Would be good to save some spores on sheets of paper, and send them my way in case I build a Morel patch. I don't know that it would work here, though. I might not have enough shade, rain, fog and the right temps.
