1) Excellent video. I am glad you explained it well. 2) I think that picture was showing a purposeful curved cut. But it does demonstrate what happens. 3) As a peripheral issue, you do find people who simply can't hold a saw straight. Some people just can't cut straight. 4) I use the WCS prog plates. And by the way, a person can learn to eye-ball the rakers with experience. 5) Lastly, a bent bar can cause a curved cut. I've done that - along with every other mistake. :-)
Excellent stuff, Oz! . Now, tell me why do we call them rakers? They're no more rakers than flipping a rake upside down is a rake! They're depth limiters, so the tooth is't trying to take a 5mm cut, if my understanding is correct!
Because in the old days the old long hand saws had rakers these were there to help rake the chips out Because the saw went back and forth, and limited the depth of the saw they used to call them scratching chains. So today we use the term raker only because of old times, the name stuck and we use then for tooth height
Maybe I'm just lucky,, but I seem to do ok with teeth with different lengths. Sometimes the teeth are nubs or just break off and so I'll be missing a few, while one side has almost full-length teeth. Maybe it depends on the wood?

Yes us older blokes have made all the mistakes also
Great information. It would have been good if you had demonstrated the use of each type of gauge on a chain tooth so the difference could be seen.
There are many videos on my channel that show progressive gauge v constant gauge

Because this problem actually occurs when there are differences in the hook angle between the left and right cutters.
@@elpolaco7654 So hook angle, and not so much tooth length? Cool, I learned something
I’ve spoken to others about this for years, hey don’t listen. Look at you as if your mad.
Yes know what you mean. ATTACK angle has everything to do with a chainsaw cutting wood
