Alaskan chainsaw mill, what angle for chain is best?
Normally when using a chainsaw you sharpen the teeth to approx 30 degrees.
However when using an alaskan mill I have heard and used teeth sharpened to closer to say 10 degrees as you are basically cutting end grain.
Is this the normal practice?
I have been milling up a few celery top logs with a rather underpowered saw with a brand new ripping (10 degree sharpened chain) and the sawdust that comes off is as fine as talcum powder.
Today I bought what looks like a reasonable condition 395 XP husky saw that I intend to buy a 25-30 inch bar for and chain to do the job.
Just wondering what those who know think about the angle one should use on the chain?
