We rip wood to chip or deal with big ugly sections. I’m interested to know about ripping chain cutting efficiency.
I’ve only seen it stated that ripping chain improves smoothness of cut. There doesn’t seem to be any references about cutting efficiency.
We have one 36inch bar set aside for this task with Stihl RS round filed full chisel, sharpened at the standard 30 degrees. Would it be worthwhile converting it to somewhere in the range of 5-15 degrees? And if so how would the chain perform on the occasional cross cut?
I’d appreciate people’s thoughts on this, I have no milling experience.
