My new Panther Mill

It seems to change the thinner the chain - the 1/4 .043 picco chain gives a pretty smooth cut even though it is at 25/30 degrees [I forget which] so the thinner the chain the less difference it makes.

 

Like everything more than one way to go - the Oregon 91vxl is not a ripping chain but it seems to work amazingly well when performing vertical cuts.

Oh no, i think its painfully slow already [emoji14]
 

Without going into too much detail, the biggest difference for speed is the moisture content, width and species.
I adapt the depth gauges accordingly.
For cedar go 0.85-0.9 mm
For oak 0.65-0.75
The granberg is the best general ripping chain once resharpened to 0 degrees.

Good things to know. I've only done hardwood so far (Beech, Ash and Oak) so i suppose just keep my rakers low?
You mean 0,65-0,75mm of height, right?

Roger that on Granberg. I have two Full Comp Oregon ripping chains right now, on a 48" bar, on an 880. It pulls fine, but im sick to death of sharpining all those teeth... by hand.
So soon, it'll be full skip and 12V grinder for me!

Use feeler gauges or a 3/8 depth gauges tool.
