I have been thinking about making my own chains for a while now, main reason because it's hard to find a chain without the kickback crap. My regular saw guy really never has any, and I just don't feel like driving elsewhere.
I understand I'll need a spool of chain, a chain breaker, and spinner. When watching my saw guy make chains in the past, he has pre-packaged...I guess what you would call a "master link" (from my dirtbike world) usually colored. Do you need to purchase these, or can you just use the link you punched out to connect the chain together?
Also, on the "big" saws I have nothing smaller than 20", all the way up to 32". Is a full chisel chain better, or semi chisel?
