2 tips for wood: 1. Use a carbide tipped chain 2. File the guards down. Lots of people that don’t do it for a living don’t realize you need to file the guards every 3 or so filings of the teeth otherwise they block the cut. The more you file, the more the teeth bite. Since you have a robot with lots of strength holding the saw, you can file them down way more than a human could hold back and have it cut well at all angles.

[@yonatanh.2746]

filing down the rakers allows the teeth to remove more material at a time which is dependent on the power of the chainsaw.

Less is more to optimise a saws cutting ability you want to cut with as few teeth as possible this let’s each tooth do the most work possible. Not slow the saw by making lots of teeth all work at once!!! This can be quiet dangerous if the saw is held by a man but (safety first always watch for kickback) but I don’t see that problem with a robot!

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

You are SEVERELY overestimating how strong a robot arm is lol, that particular robot can only lift 13 lbs. If you look closely you don't see any massive hulking motors sticking off that robot or anything like that because the motors are so small they fit inside the arms and they don't even really have insane gearing ratios either because robots are quite fast, usually a 2:1 or 3:1 reduction with a small belt and sprockets is very standard. Its very unlikely he will ever get a robot that small to be able to cut wood with a human chainsaw.

I swear the engineers at Tormach are fans of Shane and got the marketing department hella drunk so they'd do this :D But tbh Shane is the best kind of beta tester. His projects are so far outside the norm that if the robot has any weaknesses they will come out. I've done beta testing for video games, and a part of it is trying really stupid ideas or really weird speedrunning tricks that might screw with the code. Basically if a speedrunner searching for new tricks can't glitch the game even by manipulating code, a normal gamer is really unlikely to ever fall through the floor. Same principle applies here: if the robot arm can survive Shane's project, a normal customer will never run into a problem.

Dude... remember he is doing this full time and it doesn't matter how long it takes him and NO ONE is yelling at him when he gets it wrong.
