When entering the world of chainsaw milling, the term \u003cem\u003eripping chain\u003c\/em\u003e can be confusing due to conflicting information online. In reality, a ripping chain is simply a micro or semi-chisel chain filed at a 10-degree angle instead of the usual 30 degrees. Some users may opt for a 5-degree or 15-degree angle—the steeper the angle, the more aggressive the cut but with a rougher finish; the shallower the angle, the smoother the board but with a less aggressive cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting Started with Chainsaw Milling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore you begin, we strongly recommend reading our \u003cem\u003eBasic FAQ Milling Guide\u003c\/em\u003e.
