My dad told me he heard filing to 0 degrees, or close to it, cuts faster than 30 degrees. Which is best? I assume 30 since most chains come filed to 25-30.

I guess that's about the only other way to do it. That's what I'll do.

How do you guy tune these things when they have a built in rev limiter? I have not done much tuning yet on this saw, but the only time I can get the 2 stroke lean sound is at around 1/3 throttle, otherwise it sounds like the rev limiter is cutting out the spark. Do you tune it in wood? The only...

Time to start some power mods, I just can't resist. I want to start with the easy stuff and progress to the harder stuff. So far I've bent up the exhaust deflector some to increase flow as well as remove the spark screen. I was going to take the top cover off too adjust the carb needle limiters...

What do you guy's do on a big bar? I got a 42" today, for tomorrow's job, I'm not touching the depth gauges due to the amount of power needed for such deep cutting. I'm using a skip chain though. I still file down my 32" a little since it has the power for it, and the time saved in cutting 30"...

I don't use the guide because it doesn't go low enough for my liking, but I'd use it to even them up if I needed to, and they were long enough to use the guide. I don't think I'll do much more with the depth gauges past the first or second filing of them because they will definitely be low...

I got that part down pat.

KYA? What does that mean? I figure they try to be on the safer side. I don't have enough experience to compare chains much, but I used .325 and 3/8 Oregon and Husqvarna chain for a few years just to cut firewood occasionally, and when I used Stihl's 33RS for the first time I was amazed at how...

Interesting link Buddy. That link says skip chains might not be faster, but they didn't mention if that is with the depth gauges filed too, likely not. I agree with technique being important, I often see good and bad being used around me. As for new chains, factory sharpness is as good as it...

What's the fastest cutting chain you recommend for a Jonsered 2188/Husqvarna 390? I ask this because the main reason I got this saw is to save time cutting 4-18" logs. Plus it's helpful to be able to cut big stuff. So far I've gotten the speed up to about as fast of a rate as I can. I either use...
