    Is there a specific sign/point when you should stop using a chain?

    I saw someone using a magnet on the bar to catch the bulk of the filings.

    I clipped a nail head the other day, just barely, on one side only, between the two facecut kerfs. Chased the backcut around. Filed afterward.

    The narrower the kerf, the greater the need for a straight cutting chain. If I'm temporarily fighting a j-cut, reaming helps.

    Is there a specific sign/point when you should stop using a chain?

    My take is that it's cutting a narrower kerf, and can take a thicker chip. Definitely do not want a chattery chain. Anyone else change the raker offset through the life of the chain?

    The offset between cutter and raker. For softwood, usually around .025" when new, around .040" when the narrower cutter is a little triangle.

    Use smaller files and greater raker offsets as the cutter gets smaller.
