Raker Drags Depth gages |

Straight from a husky. |
|
The height difference between the position of the depth gauge |
|
and the tip of the tooth (depth gauge clearance) determines how |
|
much the cutting tooth will cut. It works much like a plane. |
|
When a plane is set up with minimal cutting blades, it cuts a |
|
very small amount of wood. The same thing happens with the saw |
|
chain if the distance between the depth gauge clearance lip and |
|
the tip of the tooth is too small. Also, it�s never good if the |
|
depth gauge clearance lip has been filed down too much. This |
|
will make the cutting tooth cut too deeply into the wood. The |
|
cut will then be more aggressive with high vibrations as a |
|
result. The risk of kickback increases and the chainsaw is |
|
exposed to unnecessary stress. |
