This could be a pretty cool thread, maybe we can get more in
depth about what all those parts and pieces do in the cut.......
anybody got some good pics of a cutter in "attack position"?

Good Link Kevin, ya I've seen several pics like that before.
Here's something I don't really get...........
What makes the cutter come back from attack position? Why
doesn't it stay there and pull a continuous chip all the way
across the block?

Here is 33 pages on Carlton and some of it is explaining the
rocking motion of the working chain.
How Saw Chain Cuts Wood
To help you properly maintain your Carlton Saw Chain, avoiding
theproblems of poor maintenance and recognizing the wear
patterns that can causesaw chain and guide bar failure, it is
essential to first learn how saw chain cuts woodith your chain
saw. You might be surprised to learn that a cutter tooth must
actu-ally leave the guide bar to cut wood efficiently.All saw
chain cuts with a rocking motion. When cutting properly, saw
chainresembles a dolphin swimming in the ocean. As the cutter
enters the wood, the“leading edge” starts to bite (#1) causing
the cutter to rock back as far as the depth gauge will allow
(#2). The cutter is now in the “attack position”. The cutter
jumps off the guide bar and into the wood (#3).Chain tension and
power from the saw pull the cutter back out of the woodand the
severed chip exits from the underside of the cutter (#4). The
cutter thenreturns to its original position (#5). Any condition
that upsets this smooth and effi-cient rocking motion will have
a negative effect on the life,performance and cutting efficiency
of any saw ch

Good explanation of how the chain "rocks" in and out of the cut.
Thanks for the link, good info.

So, the cutter rocks back as the corner touches the wood, but
doesn't actually start cutting into the wood until the raker
touches and stops the rocking motion? or does it start making a
chip as soon as it touches the wood, and the rocking stops the
cut?

Read the part on depth gauges and pics 3 and 4 gouging into the
wood it talks about. Never thought about that. It's in those 33
pages to read. ;D
Way over my simple pea brain but figured you had this all under
control and would enlighten us. ;)

The analogy of a dolphin swimming (leaping in & out of the
waters surface), is how I picture the cutter "diving in & out of
the cut".

Ya right, the more I learn the more I realize how much I don't
know.
