I don’t grind my own chains anymore, but I used to. I cut chains for a guy who was a competitive log cutter. I cut the drags down depending on the kind of wood they were using. You could cut them down to nothing on soft pine, but get them too low if they were using hard wood and a good saw motor would pull the chain apart. Our motor guy was amazing. We had a lot of fun learning to strike the right balance between motor speed, torque, and chain aggressiveness. It was different for every log.
