Hens teeth wanted

[dervishcarving]

i use the same bar/chain... its a joy!

once it has had a bit of use i will shave down the width of the guard teeth a bit to improve efficiency, i also find the back corner of the teeth need a bit more of a trim after a while but i think i just cant stop fiddling with the chains

Got the bar/chain/sprocket today was was surprised it's not a lot smaller than the standard MS150 micro chain bar for tip radius. I put it all together and did a little carving with it, using it on the side is really nice but in the cut is very slow compared to my 150 standard set up making it feel blunt.

Still getting used to the new combo and still not sure what I think. I prefer my 150 set up for the narrow cut and ability to run the chain tensioned correctly rather than slack.

its a different saw mate with a whole different approach needed

give it time eh?

I will stick with it, I think I had the chain a little to loose as it was kinda folding over the bar when planing on the side. Also I may be running it to slow, I keep the revs down due to a neighbor and this carving chain does not appear to like the very low revs as the standard 150 chain does.

I will stay with it, it can only be me at fault as so many proper carvers use this chain.
