Chain snaps

I dunno but this doesn’t look like I’m forcing it[emoji8]

No it's cutting nicely - you got the oiler turned up full?

 

Wonder if it's worth you having another bar to see if it makes a difference... up to you we could do you a deal on it - I've used the PMX chain with the 880 without a snapped chain but I prob don't do enough bulk work anymore to give a good judgement or not.

Some part dancing around and mincing at the start there, but your wrist action soon came together towards the end!

What sprocket are you using? Gustharts sold a lad i mill for the wrong 3/8 sprocket for lo pro on 660, which caused premature chain wear

turned oil to max, will mill on sunday

Drive Sprocket looks good [emoji108]

At what stage is the chain snapping? New, half used, or near the end?

That set up should roar thru it -from pic yr chain blunt. Get powered grinder n take time to get used to it, don't sound like yr doing anything wrong. K

What would you recommend to prevent my chain snapping?
I mill on a Logosol M8, softwoods only. MS661 with this bar I bought from your good selves
Using these Lo Pro’s from yourselves

Sharpening with this
After a couple of snapped chains I switched from 10% tilt to 0% but a total of 5 snapped chains in as many months (I repair them myself , the cutter having snapped)
Different bar or different chain??
Thanks

Get a decent chain grinder.
Re set all teeth and depth gauges.
Check your depth gauges with a straight edge and feeler gauge
Don't grind into the tie strap.
