Far left looks like chipper chain. Not sure how available that is anymore. Maybe for harvesters? The more common semi chisel is a blend of left and middle. That's what I use.

I never worried about keeping the cutters the same. My chains cut fine for me. I'm not really fussy about it though. If it's making nice chips, I'm pretty happy. I'm sure I could do better, but I imagine I'm making slight improvements as time goes on with my normal sharpening. Can't see giving a...

Yea. doing hardwood, I hit the teeth every tank fill. Otherwise, I do them when it stops cutting as nice as I expect. Might be every two-three tanks on softwood unless I put it in the dirt, which happens way more than it should. Only time I cut with a dull chain is when I'm doing stuff like...

I like using files a smidge small(5/32 for 3/8lp and 13/64 for 3/8 ). It allows better fine tuning of the hook, and they fit nicer when the cutters get short.

Sharpness is virtually infinite, but it needs to be tuned for the task. You can get to a point where it's too sharp, and it just dulls faster. That applies to anything that cuts. There's also a time cost. Sharper takes longer. I don't stress it. I'm not racing or anything, and I'll be sharpening...

I have pm on my 2511. Aside from a couple odd loops, I've settled on semi chisel chain on all my saws. I end up in a lot of dirty stuff, and the semi chisel seems to hold up a bit better. I don't do enough cutting, clean or otherwise to appreciate full chisel speed.

I don't think so. The only Oregon chain I've used either came on the saw, or bought off the shelf as a one-off. I stick with Stihl chain for "good" cutting, and Carlton for beater duty.

I don't like it. As said above, it's chattery, and I'm not a fan of Oregon chain anyway. I think they make it from recycled beer cans. The steel's too soft.
