Maybe you need to switch saws... Maybe a craftsman would have more power.

or electric?

You Rascal!

I've got your Craftsman hangin'.

I believe I measured my depth guides once on the 3/8 mini after sharpening and got .031" and that is what it feels like.

Ole gypo, man that guys a character, one of the funiest yet well read around. Has lots of machinery and toys.

Last I heard he went up the snowy frozen mountains near the rockies or something looking for the Abominal snowman or something.

They were the days hey Dan, it was just AS and "let the poundings" begin.

I got gang banged real good at first till I figured the lot out.

There were factions and divisions, poser and hosers LOL, some even swapped sides. LOL

Anyway they're into this square filed chains for racing caper, many a method and secret for the special day to see whos chainsaw cuts fastest.
