 :D If he had some power on that chain it would grab like the track of a bulldozer .Perhaps with the help of a skateboard he might might be able to travel about 50 miles per hour .

Al, that chain was on his 034AV I'm showing here.
First 034 I've seen without the traditional side chain tensioner.

A customer brought me his saw today for a sharpening. 
He says he can't sharpen it anymore to make it cut straight.

Here it is :D
How does .090" depth gauge setting sound to you?
I told him he was filing the wrong part of the cutter. So I sold him 2 new loops.
But he wanted this old chain back for a backup  :D


 

Sorta makes a guy feel sorry for the guy and how much work he was going though to get a little bit of wood cut. Reminds me of a neighbor who burns a good bit of firewood but gets his chain (not chains) sharpened once a year. "because sharpening it all the time ruins the cutters"

The customer asked me to sharpen it anyways.
I said no with those low depth gauges a sharp cutter would only dig in more making a very severe kickback situation.
The bar the chain is on in my pic is a 14" narrow kerf Husqvarna bar that I keep in my bench vise to file the chains.

Holman,
     You should've cut the chain in half lol I'm glad he doesn't own a larger saw with the ability to sharpen after he files the takers off wow SMH
