Ripping chain is for cutting on the end with timber mills of the Alaskan
type. For the kind of work we do, walking the bar into the cut - on FACE
grain - clears pretty well. Having used all three, I'll call skip chain
the compromise that clears shavings best, and is still useful for firewood
cutting.

A suggestion for Bill. When you get your chainsaw, invest in a ripping
chain. It is SO MUCH EASIER on both you and the saw. Not to mention a
ripping chain goes much better through the wood than the standard
crosscut
chain.

That's interesting. I'd never heard of such a beast. I'll be certain to
ask about it. Can you name a store where this is available? I've had
chainsaws in the past (when you lose a house to divorce, lots of other
things turn up missing, too) but never noticed anything marked "ripping"
on the replacement chain racks.
