Stahl's logging supplies

It just depends on the hardness of the steel you cut vs the hardness of your saw chain and the chain speed, feed rate, and sharpening angles. I was testing a saw and saw a knot in the dryish white oak I was cutting, and sure enough felt some chatter. It was a harder knot than usual, but not outside of what I'd expect possible when sawing wood. Then I noticed it seemed to be cutting slower after the "knot".

I have bumped the side of a trailer with a saw and it took nice chips out of the steel without dulling the chain.
 
I was glad they were a $17 loop not a $32 loop of Stihl chain.

The job was $1300 and took 75 minutes, I didn't price the chains in, but there was enough margin in the job to handle it. 😂
