    Hi Harv. #1 Never knew the teeth only cut half the chip at a time. #2 Didn't know the chips piled up in front of the raker. #3 I knew there was a difference between cutting summer and winter but never heard the details re the tooth and raker as to why. Great learning the details video. Thanks!

    Hi (from new sub in S. E. Australia) and thanks for the sharpening vid, it corresponds and more with whatever little I know.
    Logging in sizable Aussie hardwood is usually with 404 chain and short, by US standards, bars and some old timers recommend a bit less top plate angle for hard, dry wood.

    Nice job young Man. Keep up the good work, be safe and be Humble.
    The Bar is what the chain rides on..Many folks call it a blade... Standard is Bar..
    "I have a 20" Bar" The "Chain" has many "teeth". The "Teeth" are what cuts the wood. If you touch a rock you may dull a tooth, or 2 or 3. If your lucky... while sharpening the chain you will sharpen one tooth at a time. The leading edge of the tooth, is the cutting edge. I know you know this young Man, but so many others, do not. Then they teach others the wrong lingo.. wording. But the main thing is to operate the saw safely. Keep Trucking..
    The most impressive carbide chain I ever did see was on a fire department saw designed to cut through walls where you may hit many nails. It was very impressive and the budget of the fire department is tax payer subsidized, life saving tool , fighting a fire or what have you..

    Good stuff Harvey. There's so much crap on youtube. I love seeing real people that know what there talking about showing what they know. I as well file my rakers straight. Where I come from is predominately soft wood so I like my rakers a little lower than the next guy. But I haven't been into the wood industry in years since my old man got out of it. But I'm gearing up. As soon as welding work slows down for me I am going to try my damest to get into the woods.

    Great Video Harvey, i will be trying so different angles this winter.

    Thanks

    • @theironhorse6600
      @theironhorse6600  5 років тому +4

      Working with stock mufflers can be tricky! No formula just trial and error! Seems on most 372 huskys they like 2 inch long 3/4. To7/8 I'd. One inch inside one inch outside the muffler! Goin bigger seems to take power away!

  • @SonOfLiberty1984
    @SonOfLiberty1984 5 років тому +2

    I have a stock 266 and cut up to 10 cords of firewood a year. I cut a mixture of pine, cottonwood and sprinkle in some elm and oak when I can get it.
    I've noticed that the spur sprocket is worn and the bar is flared pretty good.
    I see that Oregon makes a rim sprocket conversion kit. Is this a better setup? Is a 7 inlet rim going to give me the same chain speed and torque as a 7 tooth spur sprocket?
    I am also interested in the oregon versa cut bar and power cut full chisel (full house) chain combo. It's a 20" bar. What would you recomend differently?
    Any advice you are willing to give on how to set this up and tips on how to get the most out of this saw would be hugely appreciated.
    I'd also like to know where I might be able to buy some merchandise or send you some bucks for your time. You gained your knowledge with sweat and blood and that's worth something to me, brother.

    • @theironhorse6600
      @theironhorse6600  5 років тому +2

Got various oregon/husky chain to use up but now got stihl RM which is better but any tips on keeping the edge gratefully received.
