As doobin says, there isn’t one.

I’ve got the same but in a CO. Now they’ve slapped a TPO on it too. My advice. Be prepared for a long battle with the council.[emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

I’m still looking for a reputable supplier of class 2 chainsaw slippers… [emoji848][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Look at the cutting tooth from on top. The angle should be 0-15 degrees depending on preference. It should be a straight line. Not curved as in your photos. Bench grinders… There are two types. Plastic ones which are fine for cross cutting with small bars. Professional metal grinders. These are used for high precision sharpening and lowering of depth gauges. When cutting with long bars or milling, All teeth should be identical lengths, as well as the depth gauges. Different pitch chains will need the appropriate sized grinding wheel. .325 3/8 and .404 all need a different sized disc. As well as another type for the depth gauges. 65 degrees is the correct side plate angle if I remember correctly. For all Stihl chains regardless. [emoji106] -
Hour and a half drive back then two hours to unload and stack. Got a bit warm… Had to resort to ice creams! [emoji16][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

About 6 minutes with a sharp chain I’m guessing? It takes much longer to load it into the van. I timed a cut once, it was solid oak 12’x3.5’. Took 11 minutes with an 880 48” duromatic and chilaskan. Today we did 9-10 cuts in 3 hours including set up and loading in to the van. No breaks. One nail, one sharpen. And that’s 3 of us going at it. [emoji106]

The half size teeth are for clearing the chip, not for cutting. I keep them a bit lower than the bigger cutting teeth.[emoji106]

Buy a depth gauger device. Cost about £5. I’m getting deja vu… [emoji106]

Another very tasty 10’x3’ Wych Elm… 60” panther mill and Stihl ms881[emoji106]

Buy a depth gauger device. Costs about £5. Your depth gauges are too low, Sharpening is all over the place. You will really need a bench grinder or local dealer to sort that chain out. The raker half teeth must be lower than the cutting teeth too[emoji106]

You’re right, they’re a bit wash boardy…🤣 Lost a few teeth on the chain, can’t find another one…shhhh no one will notice… 🤣[emoji6][emoji106]

Put a new chain on. How does it work then? [emoji106]
-
You pay for what you get. Any plastic bench grinder is junk. Must be metal with no play at all. Stihl HOS if you can find one. [emoji106]
-
I suspect he’s already done that… Any close up photos of the chain?

Started on a Wych elm marathon today, 10’x2’++ in to 60mm slabs with the 60” panther mill and the stihl 881. [emoji106]

South, in the woods.[emoji106]

It’s dying. The dark brown heart colour indicates necrosis. Easiest thing to do is fence off the area below the branches. Then no ones at risk and you get to keep the tree. For a bit longer. [emoji106]

Nothing yet. Still looking[emoji106]

Anything that moves!!! Mainly wild boar and deer round our part. [emoji106]

Found a fascinating series on YouTube a while back. Bit of a crocodile Dundee. This is one of his first filmed expeditions, he went on to make dozens more over several decades.[emoji106]
