who uses a chainsaw to cut a hole

[hawkeye43]

just got a 28 inch bar for dads chainsaw and i am hoping it will be long enough to get through in the end of the season.

i went out in front of his house and cut a hole, it kind of cut slow,

i have been told to grind every other raker tooth off of the chain.

anybody have any suggestions.

oops dad was still logged in and i didnt notice it untill i submited the post.

so that question was from me.

I know a guy that uses a chain saw for traping minnows and he grinds all the rakers off and its a lot of them 38 inch bar on a sthil and I also heard that sthil came out with a speacial bar lube for cutting ice not sure if tiits true thou.

Oh yea he said the chain saw is awsome for the ice. Personally I use a fish toys saw.

as far as bar lube i am using none.

i figure the water will be enough lube.

we took the gear and spring off of the oiler pump so the pump will not turn. it only takes about 10 min. to change back if we would have to cut any wood.

i have never see a guy out on the hard water using one of these. Maybe im just not there at the right time. I use a Fish Toys Hand saw!

i think i found a flaw!!!!!!!!!

the sides of my hole will be alot smother, and get glazed over faster. i have had old timers tell me thats bad and if it happens move the house or rough it up with a chisel.

have you noticed a difference with fish not wanting to come in the hole after a few days..........

I've heard a couple drops of ammonia on the surface of the hole

will eliminate an oil slick if one develops from residue left over on the saw. Be prepared for the chips and water to fly during the cutting process.

Just a drop of dish soap clears up the residue in the hole. It's actually kinda neet to watch.
