    Funky chain,What is it?

    No I didn't .I wittled away on that chunk of maple right behind the saw in the picture . I think it was dropped in May or June . I turned loose the saw and grabbed a handfull of chips as they came off for a type of comparison .Cross grain not ripping . I'll rip a little with it to see how it...

    Funky chain,What is it?

    Granberg ripper or at least the ones I've seen looks about like "planer " chain . The top plate has been cut off with the sides sharpened at about 10-15 degrees and every third tooth filed at 90 degress to act as a chip clearer .Actually more like a sawdust clearer because they won't pull chips...

    Funky chain,What is it?

    I don't know the correct name for it but I have one on a 10-10 Mac .That chain is 3/8" .050 . You sharpen the regular teeth at 30 degrees or whatever and the rakers straight accross . You might be able to track it down on Mike Acres site--chainsaw collectors corner ,under the chain section .
