Hey CSW Go to the oregon link and check out section 4 of their manual. www.oregonchain.com/tech/manual_maint.htmIf you compare the typical semi chisel cutter on page 43 with a ripping cutter on page 49, you will notice that the cutters themselves appear to be the same. However on the ripping cutter, the top plate cutting angle, the side plate angle and the top plate filing angle are all less than on a typical semi chisel cutter. I'm not sure if the above mentioned angles are the only difference between a typical semi chisel cutter and ripping cutter as I have never used or sharpened a ripping cutter. |

I found this today while looking for something else. Nice pic of ripping chain, I can kinda understand how it works now.  This is from the Granberg website |

I buy Ripping chain It is usually cheap, and then experiment with it to find(learn) a recipe that is worth a hoot.
My Ice chains look exactly like you Granberg picture.
I am waiting for some aspen popple to try it out on before I feed it into hard wood.
FYI My rakers are GONE!!!
If you are laughing.
My thought is would you limit how much bite you get out of a wood chisel on a wood lathe??
