- jandrese 6y agoRemember that the chain moves very slowly—-7 feet per minute.
- kortex 6y agoTalking "feeds and speeds", 7 feet per minute (1.4"/s) as a feed rate would obviously be crazy fast, so I presume this is the "speed", the linear reciprocating speed of the chain. It's less "cutting" and more "crunching" its way through. Sheer brute force plastic deformation.
