- Questions about ripping chain? Ben from Granberg explains the differences between the standard cross cut chain and the modified ripping chain we sell here at Granberg.
Very informative video. Layman's terms this jackpine savage could understand. The addition of crayons would have been a nice but I figured it out. 🙂 Thank you !
I learned more about chains in this 7:48 min video than I ever did before. Great Video! Thanks.
Thanks for the info 👍👍
If your using a stihl chainsaw use just go and buy a stihl ripping chain and bar ‘ they are specially made for this type of work ‘ and like there saws they are excellent ‘ the stihl bar and chain cut a much narrower kerf or cut width than the granberg chain ‘ which in turn passes through say hardwoods much easier than the wider chains and bars ‘ which in turn produces much less sawdust and more usable wood ‘ for instance cutting boards of 1 inch thick where a lot of waste can Accor ‘ the stihl set scores greatly here
Hmm. Might try this approach. Granbergs 36 inch chains are back ordered. Thanks for the recommendation. I just got a MS661 and can't wait to get some slabs cut.
Good , the 661 is a great saw for milling , I use it a lot , what are u milling 👏
This may sound crazy but I sure wish that you sold these or one of your dealers sold these on eBay. That's where I get all my chainsaw supplies. I don't shop anywhere else
Have used other brands of ripping chain. Granberg’s is hands down the best. No doubt about it. The design is far superior to the others.
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure this is true. I haven't been doing this long, but their aren't just a ton of options where ripping chains are concerned. Until proven otherwise This is the best ripping chain available for purchase.
Those scoring teeth sound like a great idea
Great info!
Skip tooth has a 3rd less cutters, not a half less and really, do you think that if you hit something nasty with skip you won't notice it until it's wrecked but with full comp you may be able to pull away in time? No way,but otherwise very informative
There are different types of skip tooth. There is half Skip and full skip. I am pretty sure full skip has half the number of teeth of a regular chain
It looks like I need to buy the right product from you to get the ripping chain I need
You can shop our chains here: www.granberg.com/product-category/alaskan-mill/bars-chain/granberg-pre-cut-ripping-chain/
Order ahead of time. 4 week wait time. However these chains are the best.
Good information
It takes so long to get a chain. I need another one and 3or 4 weeks is not quick enough for me. I ordered a second mill and I can wait that long for it.
We do apologize for our long lead times right now. The demand for our product and the lengthy lead times from our suppliers due to Covid-19 has made it difficult for us to keep up! We promise we are doing everything possible to ship orders as fast as possible. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Sometimes I have to half & quarter big logs for fire wood. I've thought about using a ripping chain for this work......is there any safety issue with that? I've seen a lot of people say there is danger in using a ripping chain without a milling attachment.
You shouldn't need a ripping chain for cutting lengthwise down firewood. Like he said in the video you will get the long ribbons of sawdust. The only problem with a standard chain is it cuts too fast and it'll get bound with sawdust. This is where the skip tooth chain comes into play, it's made so it's less likely to bind with the long ribbons of sawdust. I half and quarter logs too, just with a regular chain
@@jaredeberly9724 Yeah but the point is: I'm trying to avoid the ribbons. Also, I still wonder about the safety issue with the ripping chain.
@@09rja I would assume that it would work better because it would be taking less off. They would still be ribbons but it would be shaving less off at a time. Also maybe keeping the rakers high on a normal chain would have the same effect
If you have any older chains for your saw file them to 10-15 deg angle across the top you’ll be ready to go.
The connection links are the same. The rivets are the same. I often free hand saw boards without a mill guide. I have broken more standard chain links than ripping chain.
The tow formed by cutting length wise makes good kindling when dry and great smoke when green.
Can the ripping chain be sharpened
"Should be sharpened after 3 or 4 passes through the log" - Eh...What length, diameter, species? What length bar and chain? Come on fellas....
But, can you "cross-cut" with a Ripping Chain effectively and be cost efficient as well ?
I know nothing at all about any of this, but I am learning because I will soon be making boards from dead trees on a new property. From what I've seen on youtube (LOL), the shallow angled cutters cause a lot more kickback than conventional chains. I know I haven't answered either of your questions, but thought I'd share what little I've learned.
Do you file the scoring chain along with the normal teeth?
Yes.
I run 404 you don't sell 404?
What gauges should I use? .050 or .063?
This all depends on the size of your bar. The larger the pitch, the larger the kerf is going to be. Let us know if you have anymore questions!
I have found LOWER drags work better for ripping. A friend grinds all of his drags really low for ripping.
How low are your drag links?
Do you guys sell a 14” ripping chain? Thanks!
When you order our Ripping Chain you can get it cut and looped to whatever length you'd like. You will need to pull the information from you bar though. It is stamped into the bar on the side closest to the powerhead. Email us at info@granberg.com if you need any help figuring this out!
@@granberginternational thank you!! I actually just bought a new 18" chainsaw (Stihl) and I will definitely want to reach out to get, at least one, extra chain. Thanks for the information!
If I go with Granberg chain in my 36" Alaskan on a Stihl 661, do you have a sharpener for idiots. I can use the Oregon guides with 25 or 30 deg for cross cutting but is there anything you sell that will guide me at 10 deg. I find free handing impossible. Thanks.
Our Granberg File-n-Joint and Granberg Precision Sharpener both have dials so you can easily sharpen your chain to 10 degrees and very accurately at that. Ill link our Precision Sharpener Chain video here for you to check out!
