Why make it if you can buy ripping chains?

Sizsizwheel doesnt work

I don't see the purpose of the chunk cut away. seems to me the big thing is the wedge shaped hinge. the thick back of it is against the lean and stops the lean taking control so the tree falls 'sideways' - i.e. the way you want it to - under the influence of that much of the centre of gravity that is on that side. the influence of the centre of gravity that is 'forward' - i.e. on the lean side - is counteracted, 'stopped', by the thick wedge shaped hinge, the thick bit being, as said, at the 'back' of the lean, the tension side. So that being the case where's the usefulness of the chunk cut away?

They have a 31cc. The XL has a 29cc or 26cc I think

Have two super 2's and one XL . One was. New old stock I found looks like it's never been used. 16" bar on it. Others have 14" bars. They run awesome

I was shocked to see that you have not accomplished a proper face cut, and are attempting a more advanced technique.

Great explanation! Seems the face cut is a bit too deep IMO. Also that saw seems to be struggling… may need a bark box or a M-tronic reset? My 400c would bust that out no problem 😎

That face-cut was Ugly! Exactly how I do em when I try for that humboldt cut.... I have ended up with the face cut so deep after 'cleaning it up' that I'm amazed the tree is still standing on it's own. I just keep on practicing and sticking to my masters studies at KZbin University.

thank you for the information. I bought a China saw and there is not a rip chain available for this gauge

WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE SHARPENERS?

Got my first saw today, let's hope this homelite will hold it's own

Who the f showed you this technique and show me where it says a zero degree it should be 10-15 degree and why tf would you grind half the top plate off what’s the point you can’t sharpen the length congratulations you just made a chain that’s 75% raker pretty much it makes more sense to square fold those cutters you took half the top plate off

I have an 880 what a saw 👌

Looks fun, I’ve been milling oak with my 72cc saw and it works just fine with both ripping and full chisel but I do like the finish of the rip chain better. One thing I learned about using wedges is that you only want to put them in by hand, if you wack them in there you actually mess up your cut. Other than that have fun! God bless!

check out this one, simply way of making ripping chain.... 😃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2TNZJWhlNd-hLM

hello kyler

😏 Lange niemand gesehen der so wenig Ahnung von Baumfällung hat. Säge läuft nicht richtig, falsche Einstellung? Schwert vielleicht doch zu lang? Leistung der Säge nicht ausreichend für die Schwertlänge. Fallkerb viel zu tief und nachgesägt! Keine Profi Arbeit. Ich hoffe, Du verletzt Dich nicht, bei dem was Du da tust.

Granberg says the 36 will cut up to 32 inch slabs. I just got my 36 and need to mount it up and see what it really is. I already know I need a bigger saw and longer rails. I have a monster Ash tree to get home and sliced up. It will take at least 6ft to get thru the crotch section.

be careful but a good job with a dam good saw

You should be fine with 661. Make sure you keep your chain sharp.

Vintage Homelite chainsaws, along with every brand of a vintage chainsaw is still the best today. My stepdad used to have a vintage McCullough eager beaver chainsaw from the 80s which is a top handle chainsaw (before he passed in 2017), and hell it still worked without issues. I wish we didn’t get rid of the old McCulloch.

There was a 1000% chance that was going to happen. Cutting above your skill not a great idea.

have you considered cutting with the top of the bar? and having the shavings eject opposite the controlls and operator vs using the bottom.of the bar and running it all thru the sprocket clutch and onto operator pathway.

Advice; score the tree lightly ( bark deep) around your undercut to see if your cuts line up before committing to the cut. Ajust as needed.

I have same set up and no problems cutting. Take dogs off saw and you'll get a 29'' width. Use wedges to keep pressure of bar and slow down on cutting. I put wedge in cut after 1' in I put a wedge in the end of my log. After about 30'' in, put wedges 1 on each side and continue. Don't put any wieght on power head actually give a little pick up on it while pulling trottle and the 661 will cut just about anything. If you don't operate saw properly you will have same issues with 880. I have both 661 and 880 and they are beast. Good luck all looks great.

You got your sharpener on backwards. You always push out. Been cutting wood for 45 years. And have 15 saws. 3. 500 i. Three magnums. Two 881. Two 661. Always stroke out to the point of your tooth.

Joys with the boys homestead on youtube

I don't think he seen this video🤷‍♂️

Nice slabs man , I'm ripping some of the biggest myrtle you'll find

Please do one with the grinder please bro

Been looking for this video for 5years f u u tube

an (additional) scarf cut on the lower part of the face cut might allow more free fall before the face cut closes, so that the holding wood holds for a slightly longer time.

you take the teeth off dude but you need longer rails to take advantage of 3 inches

Make your own chain! Double the number of scoring teeth. This decreases the need for a big saw but it will cut a bit slower. If you don't mill much it will save the big cash layout.

Seems the new Nikon camera is garbage. Constantly out of focus

You can adjust all those things, using the filing jig. Sharpening, gulleting , rakers, all using the Grandberg filing jig. Fitting a small flat file in for the rakers, staight after you file your clearing cutters at 0 degrees. Much easier and more precise.

I was thinking 10°\10°. Thanks for the correction at the end of the video. Edit: why no 390/391 saw?

I love a razor sharp chain. I don’t loan my saws for that reason. Not long ago a friend needed a saw ,even thou I have 3 I couldn’t let it go so I bought him one. He went to the woodpile happy as a new saw owner can be. Put oil in the oil chamber and gas in the gas tank. Had that happy look on his face ,see he’s 38 y.o. First saw and I bought it. He got to the wood pile in one piece and he had that (“I just climb that mountain rest is a breeze. After all what can happen on a deck of clean fir ,no bark and did say 18 “ logs cut in 16 “ long..this is where I explain why I keep my saws for me all 3 of them. He’s ready to go the bull is blowing snot and he is ready That saw was wound up tighter than a $2.50 carnival watch screaming to get wood I screaming. The piston soon realized

um dos maiores motosserra do Brasil eu um ms661 Sthill não adianta eu tenho sthil

My 880 starts two pulls cold one warm (assuming I don’t short change a pull). Great saws! According to a guy I used to work with a 372xp Husquavarana would smoke any stihl chainsaw easily. That’s why you only see husquavarna saws cutting lumber

interesting channel got me to sub

If you can't cut it right, you should not be showing other people how to do it! Not trying to be an asshole, but treework can kill you...!!!

Thanks for that video. Not because I want to make it, but to understand how works the ripping chain and what's the difference with a standard chain. Thanks from France !

Nipex mini bolt cutters are awesome 😎

be xtra safe that shit is xtra dangerous when they split like that

Good job man but your notch should only be 1/3 of the tree. Be safe

I use an air die grinder. Cuts them real quickly. You have to take the one you cut back as you sharpen the chain also.

what was the problem with the 10-10 with all the gas i picked one up doing the same thing

Late to the party but I have watched a few videos on this technique & it seems that a smaller side cut gets better results. What have you learned in the last four years?
