Depth guages

[Woodworks]

If your Rotatech chains are anything like the ones I have had you wont be wanting to touch the depth gauges/rakers for a while as they come out the bag set very aggressively. As said a fraction here or there we make diddly squat difference.

Ah ha , I remember fag papers, used to set the points on my Herald with those. cant remember which was which but I think green pack was thicker than blue pack or visa versa.

You have be a certain age to know what I am on about.

It wont make any difference at all .  We talking three thousandths of an inch !  

Still wont make any difference but it is actually 30 thou difference not 3 thou

No it isnt.

Depth is typically 0.025" (and not 0.25" as mentioned above). T'would be some scary contraption to rip a 1/4 inch cut per tooth.....

But that is not what the op put, the difference in his figures is 30 thou.

.025 - .022 = .003 . That's three thousands of an inch .

The OP quite obviously got his decimal point in the wrong place . If you had a raker depth of a 1/4" you would have no raker at all !

I think your maths is skewed  the difference twixt 22/25 is three thou

Hi folks, Just to settle the argument, I got the decimal point in the wrong place in my original posting.

it should have read 0.022" and 0.025" making the difference between the 3 thou or B----r all worth worrying about it seems.
