In that link Boa provided notice the Husky saw had a rear chain brake... just above the throttle. Tim, if they put one of them on an 200T you could become a one armed bandit safely. I noticed even in that video the sawyer had to tickle a few scarfs right.

why the biggie over the horizontal cut or flat(undercut) cut first? I ask you this; what is done first in a humbolt cut. It makes NO difference so long as the scarf has the same geometric proportions, this is at the end of the day what decides the fall not the order of the component cuts. I do short bar and long bar vice vesra (under cut first/second) so what its the shape and size of the scarf END of story? |

Some say that when you do a conventional scarf and do the top angled cut first then you can see down that narrow slit easier to line up the horizontal cut.
