Full Chisel? Semi Chisel? Skip? Rip? Types of chainsaw chains and how to choose.

[@rtoguidver3651]

I watched 3 video's on chainsaw ripping chain vs crosscut saw, yours was the most informative..

[@HipaStore]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonmr1]

I would like to remind folks that chaps are an inexpensive safety device for the new and experienced. Worth every penny.

[@blakejohn8374]

Inexpensive ? More like expensive lol

[@matthewknight5641]

​@@blakejohn8374I seen my uncles through after a small hit with a saw and he was down for years behind that accident. I'd say chaps are very inexpensive considering....

[@stoshsellers3679]

Glad I'm not the only that noticed lol. Along with the chaps a quality pair of boots is a must, I recommend laced 8 inch high top boots (not pull/slip on as they offer extremely poor ankle support, walking on uneven ground, rocks, limbs and stepping over logs or stepping in a hole will cutting is not at all pleasant, I would also recommend boots with steel or composite toes and metatarsal guards for the top of your foot (you can also get a pair of metatarsal guards that you can take on and off) Carolina or redwing are some very good options for outstanding quality boots in my opinion, I've had both and never had a problem them, but like I said it's just my opinion, just be safe and mindful of your surroundings.

Great video for guys with a little less experience. Very good explanation 👏👏👍👍ALWAYS STAY SAFE👍✌️

Thank you for your help

[@PaulHegwoodJr]

Could you comment on cutter size in relation to pitch and gauge? Thanks

[@Tomana_]

unless I'm mistaken (if so please correct me) you should never cut anything with your head/body in alignment with the chain bar. Always stand to the side OR DO NOT CUT. This will all but eliminate any hazard from kickback. If you're a Newbie to using a chainsaw definitely use the semi-chisel chain until standing to the side becomes 2nd nature.

[@johnconnor7131]

You are mistaken.sell your chainsaw.

[@pdevonport7266]

No no no if you hold your chainsaw to the side you are off balance. There are two kinds of kickback one where you use the back of the saw and cut upwards will cause the chainsaw to push back suddenly if it catches and on the other course is the tip of the saw comes in contact with a piece of timber behind the log that you are cutting or you're trying to plunge cut incorrectly.

[@Icutmetal]

Yep, you’re mistaken.

[@blakejohn8374]

Been cutting with my head right behind the bar for years lol still got my hair

@@theeddies I delete them now and then to clean up. Usualy Ileave a new comment when I do that, but I might have forgotten to do it.

[@headless0ptomist198]

Those "safety chains" always give me a chuckle because all they do is make the raker bigger but kickback is caused by the cutting edge. Until you learn just draw a line from the top of the bar to the last sproket rivet and another line to the tip and that is highest risk for kickback no matter what chain you have.

Thanks, and God bless you!

can you use riping chain to cut firewood

[@PAKfromFYCB]

i put a full skip on one of them knock off 660 saws on a 28 bar and that thing cuts so fast. i was gonna go cut down n dead this year but went down with a bad case of sciatica. not sure its gonna be in the cards now and if it is i may be getting a splitter.

[@kevinStidham-w6r]

Definitely get a splitter, you will not even look at a maul once you have used a good log splitter.

[@PAKfromFYCB]

​@@kevinStidham-w6rya it sucks getting older i was so looking forward to hand splitting a few cords. got one of those faskars mauls and everything right b4 i got hurt. funny thing is what put me down was swinging a mattock at work because grade guys can't get it right for our concrete forms. buying a splitter is like accepting that you have gotten old and i feel like i am ready lol

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

So much to know what the parts of the chain is that holds it together That's not basic 101 is it

[@MissionaryForMexico]

One chain you did not discuss carbide tip chains. They hold and edge much longer than steel, and last much longer before needing to be sharpened!

[@igor_oak_tree]

Carbide tip to sharp needs diamond wheel in sharpening tools, can't use file .

[@MissionaryForMexico]

@@igor_oak_tree Buy one carbide tip chain you will not need to have it sharpened for a very long time too!

[@brokendad2222]

I was wondering what shops charge to sharpen the carbide chains?

[@Firewoodguy-t6m]

I bought hippa chains in the4 past for 4.00 to5.00each free shipingand no taxs

[@cougarcn]

Curious - how often do you buy a new chain and how often do you buy a new bar for your chain saw? Are you swapping out bar and chain several times a year or much less?

[@jameshersom2536]

One chain will last me half the year with all the filing and daily use for work. The chains stretch over time due to how tight you run them, or use. The bar I have two with a chain for each. I’ll replace the bar when the burs are no longer fileable.

[@kevinStidham-w6r]

Your bar will last a lot longer if you flip it every once in a while.

[@steveunderwood4001]

PPE!! Don’t cut above your chest with the power head.

[@charvakkarpe]

2:09 Is it mandatory to ask viewers to do the whole thumbs up, subscribe, like thing? Does KZbin send you a message saying, "You should probably ask users to like your video, in your video." as advice on how to grow your channel? For instance, Uber tells its drivers to provide water bottles to increase their ratings. It's bogus, you can drive Uber and have a great rating without providing water or snacks, but some drivers do it just because they're told to. The way you interjected it into your video makes it seem really artificial. Like, wouldn't people just like your video on its merits and subscribe to you if they think they want to see more? Do you asking people to subscribe might alienate users who really like your content and want authentic advice on chainsaws? It almost says you're more concerned about running a KZbin channel than you are about chainsawing. Anyway, you can put whatever you want in your videos, but I honestly am curious what inspires otherwise good KZbinrs to put the little subscription blurb in their video. WhistlinDiesel does the best parodies of that, if you want to get a sense of how silly it is to ask viewers to subscribe.

[@HipaStore]

It is a good question, and honestly my answer is mixed. I personally feel about the same way you do. But in my experience making KZbin videos (on this channel and elsewhere) and looking at analytics for about 5 years as well looking at countless creator resources (including KZbin's own resources), it does actually make a difference in sub counts. And yes, KZbin own tutorial resources recommend doing a "call to action" in some form. That said, I try to keep it super short and super noticeable/awkward. It makes it easier to skip if one is just scrolling through the video as many do. All the best and don't forget to like and subscribe!😁

[@Slippindisc]

I can’t believe that you took the time to write this comment. Ya, it’s annoying. Ya, everyone does it. The goal for these channels is to get more viewers and subscribers etc. getting people to like and subscribe is the way to do that. Take it up with KZbin and the garbage changes they’ve made to the platform and the algorithm.

[@PAKfromFYCB]

i never think about it but after u said it i liked it haha

[@0ptimal]

Man what kinda time n lack of focus u got to be writing a novel over THAT

[@naamangeist7843]

Useful video, horrendous audio, with volume jumping very high and then phasing off too low to hear you clearly. Maybe an investment in a good mic would make your videos more tolerable to watch, listen to. Thanks for the effort anyways.

[@adventurzwithiain]

I didn’t notice any of that, wonder if it is maybe your audio?

[@naamangeist7843]

Just watched it again to about the 1 minute mark. Audio drops off at :38 then is loud and distorted at 1:00 and continues this way throughout the video, usually loud and distorted at the beginning of a scene change and then drops too low to hear well seconds later. I have a Pioneer Elite audio receiver/amplifier and Klipsch tower 5.1 speaker system so it's not my audio system and I'm not experiencing this with other KZbin videos. Maybe it's your video editing software or settings? Either way, I got useful information from the video so thanks for that.@@adventurzwithiain

[@naamangeist7843]

I take that back, it's going loud and quiet more than once per scene. At 1:47 "Full chisel" is very loud and distorted and then drops very low and then jumps up again a few seconds later "the reason for this" in the same scene. That's what made me think it was a mic issue. It does always seem loud and distorted at the beginning of each scene change though so it may still be your software. Or maybe some sort of volume leveling feature on your action cam. I think I remember having this issue with some of my GoPro footage in the past. @@adventurzwithiain

[@0ptimal]

Get yo ears checked man

[@ввя-д6е]

Uhhhh think that's all you man... audio sounds fine to me. I pulled it up on another phone and it still sounds fine... it's either your device, or your ears... u growing carrots and potatoes up in those cauliflower's there, or what ? NEED TO GET SOME QTIPS BRO!

[@jakalestan5704]

Information is very good, sound quality is poor. People in your videos really should use some PPE! Having people in shorts or leggings demonstrating the use of the cahinsaw gives new and less experienced users (I would guess are the majority of viewers) a feeling it is OK to do it this way. IT IS NOT! Always wear hearing and eye protection and chaps or protection pants and shoes.

[@annaaron3510]

No experience = no PPE. Not bright.

[@littlemechanicshop]

You probably should not say anti kickback chain. That is very bad to say. Reduce kick back is better to said. Say anti kickback is a law suit waiting to happen. And every chain can and will kickback. I have some of your products. One I really like and the other one needs your engineer team to work out lots of problems out. But that just my thoughts.
