I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

I am surprized those wooden saw horses, even held that much weight.Better metal saw horses, your taking a risk of it collapsing. You have many options to improve the handling of the lumber , over head chain hoist. A centering device to allow the rotation of the logs. The simple set up you have is working great. With some new ideas you could work smarter, safer, and not harder. Your taking too many risk with the idea the weight of the lumber could collapse those saw horses, and it would end up on top of you. The quality of the cuts are great, the viideo is excellant. I learned a lot watching this. Safety is what it's all about, take fewer risk. You have a great concept.

I got sick of filing chains and I'm a machinist , so I've built a pretty nice sharpening machine, no files needed, gives a factor grind a run for its money. as for the chain, no its not technically a ripping chain. But it is skiptooth and since its been with me, I've changed from the existing 30deg grind, to a 15 degree. I know some people go as low as 10, and I might still just to try it. But 15 seems to be a good compromise of feed pressure & durability. I'm guessing by 90, degrees, you meant 0? That seems really extreme to me, as does completely removing the depth guides. Whats the advantage of going from where I'm at, to the extremes you outlines? I'm pretty new to this, so I'm all ears.

Had a few questions about the end plates and rails, so here you go! 5/32" x 2" x 2" steel tubing, bought locally. The end plates are 1/4" x 12" x 5". The notches for the rails are about 1-3/4" deep so that the 2" rails sit a bit proud. These were cut locally by a metal fabricator. Consider getting "offset" end plates of different heights (eg. 1 at 5", 1 at 10") if you are going to be cutting heavily tapered logs, like butt logs with lots of flare.
