setting the raker depth

[treequip]

should you cut your leg off and die, when your saw is taken by the authority - you may find they blame negligence as the cause of death at your enquiry.

 

Wouldn’t you just be gutted if the found your death was due to your negligence, how could you live with yourself?

I set by eye. Place the flat file across the top, eye it up to a dimes thickness (not like you have those over there) and file the rest to match. Never had issues.

Different chains, different jobs, different settings. Low as you can on the main full chisel cross-cut saw, though I'm guessing you don't want to go much more than standard up a tree though (not a tree monkey myself)

For a while the only saws we had were a 660 and a 200t. With an array of different length bars for the 660 we managed fine

The Husky guide for me for rakers only.

 

The Stihl and Oregon style make a flat raker that you need to modify.

 

Im sure i can find more threads that show making the rakers aggressive SLOWS the speed of the cut down, Modern saws are designed to cut at a high rpm.
