What I do ( not recommended for weekend warriors ) is take
the rakers ( depth gauges ) down with a Dremel Moto Tool.
WAY down....


Well being as this is a 32" bar and a Stihl 460 with *lots* of power, I
think I will stay with the recommended .026 inch for now (found this toward
back of my manual when I finished reading it today.)

The instructions also say the depth gauge can be lowered an additional .008
inch for cutting softwood in mild weather season - no frost.

So I guess the type of wood and outside temperature are factors?

If I were to lower the depth gauges (rakes) on this saw to nothing, and then
attempt to buck a large diameter log, I can imagine myself hurtling through
the forest with a quickness! :-)
(I've had enough excitement for this week with broken tie rod ends, shoe
strings, etc....)
