Looks to be a glorious spring weekend in Mn to be outside. Wood ticks were out in the Wadena/Huntersville area last weekend so expect more this weekend and enjoy the outdoors mosquitos will be right around the corner.
shits and giggles measured two new bars from Husky and Stihl brand top rail to bottom .255-.261 so quarter inchish, one or two strokes on the rakers will get you a more aggresive cut by about that much! I prefer knowing how much using a progressive raker gauge between .030-035 depending on species and time of year frozen wood vs non frozen and slightly aggressive just bordering on light chatter. raker hardness, file pressure consistency, new file vs old single cut double cut is going to vary how much gets removed in one or two strokes. all IMHO and worth exactly what you paid for it! favorite raker gauge is Carlton File-O-Plate no longer made most modern equivalent is the WCS rake gauge and I have a whole box of the stamped out Husky Oregon Stihl gauges sitting in a box somwhere if I did not already throw them away.
@@CentralMinnesotaFirewood Thanks, no huge hurry. Ordered mine and waiting for it to come in. I just watched a more recent video of yours that explained it some

I haven't see a tick yet but know they are going to be around. I assume with the winter it will be a pretty bad tick season

That was under the oil port, so top rail to bottom of that dip under the port was closet to .5" and then angled back . up the the normal .25ish
It'll be interesting to see how much that helps.
We will see here this weekend 🤞🤞
Any updates, did it help?
@@JSProDrones I can make a video about it and get that out quickly
