Chainsaw Chain Poor Performance and Overheating: Sharpening and Lubrication Factors

Maybe someone will reveal what is this peculiarity of this wire-hair?

Tooth stop.

Yes, but this wire-hair does not heat the chain, it only makes it difficult for the guide bar to penetrate the wood.

Yes, you are right, but plunging is not that difficult either, as long as the chain is properly sharpened and cuts the wood straight, not "like a sausage". Chain teeth, kerf, are much wider than the bar thickness. Blocking the guide bar in the kerf most often causes a bad sharpening of the chain and the saw "wants to cut diagonally" and then blocks the guide bar.

It makes it difficult if your guide bar is worn and the guide link touches the bottom of the guide bar groove. You can see it by worn links.

Not.
The limiter is an element of the chain link that "maintains" the appropriate cutting thickness, as the chain is sharpened, it should also be properly sawed to ensure the correct thickness. Wire, hair, etc. other names are such "flattening", a sharp edge on the bar's edge, which is formed during the operation and friction of the chain. Read, watch videos about deburring the guide, you will understand what's going on. And when you work with the saw for a long time and "feel" the guide on its edge, you will understand what is "going on".

Maybe you are right, but in my case it has never happened that the chain "traveled" to such an extent with links leading on the bottom of the guide bar that it made it difficult to work. The guide bar was always replaced when it showed a high degree of wear.
