Equipment / Chain sharpening angles
« on: February 27, 2013, 08:54:27 PM »
Hey guys,
It seems like most sharpening equipment assumes a 30 degree angle for the ideal sharpening angle. Several of the Oregon chains I've looked at recently call for a 25 degree angle. As long as all the teeth are sharpened to the same angle, does it make a real difference? Am I overlooking something important if I sharpen all of my chains to 30 degrees? Thanks

Equipment / Gas to oil ratios
« on: February 25, 2013, 07:31:36 AM »
Good morning, all.
As I read on here, it seems like the preferred (or at least one of them) is AMSoil. I have a dealer near me, but some of their own literature confuses me a little. My saw calls for 50:1, but AMSoil seems to be formulated for 100:1. I would normally just mix it double strength (50:1), but other things I've read here seem to indicate that some of you guys are running at thinner ratios. Where are you running your gas:oil mixtures? Can you fill me in a little on how you arrived there? Anything markedly better than AMSoil out there?
Thanks
