Chain tooth angle

[Rough Hewn]

Has anyone tried a chain with over 30 degrees top plate. Noticed my grinder went to 50 degrees.

 

Thanks

No, you go first  I can't see the cutting edge lasting long.

Not tried it as it would blunt very quickly but I would imagine it would cut like hell for a short while

What we talkin about,,,, top plate angle or cuttin angle ...

Eg no 3 or no4.  The linky-tinging

if were talkin no4 in the inky thingy then it ant gonna make much difference apart from slower cuttin and dulling. Or add your findings here???..

I file my teeth from 25-35 degrees, depending on my level of distraction whilst sharpening, I can tell you from experience that they don't cut too good!

Its possible to alter the cutter angle by changing file sizes and guide plates , to give slightly sharper or more tougher cutting edges . For which ever timber yr sawing . K
