Chain saw blades?

"Not doing so can cause severe kick-back and can cause a nasty scar on an otherwise pretty face..."

Yep !!! very important. Oh I'm not speaking from personal experience /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif but I dated this girl once. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif...... and well....'nuff said. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually maybe it had nothing to do with a chainsaw and a lot to do with learning to eat with a fork, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif


I used a 12V grinder and a guide for many years to sharpen saws on the job. Worked well for me. A little practice saved a lot of money. I also had never heard of not switching back and forth from grinder to file.
I'll have to pay closer attention.
 
I favor buying about 6-8 chains, when you use half, drop them at the saw shop to be sharped up, When the second half are dull, drop them off and pick up the first ones. then keep her up.
I can change chains way faster then I can sharpen one, which I can and have, and I cant get them as sharp as the saw shop, about $3.50 per chain, cutting decent wood, I get about 4-5 cords on a sharp chain.
I always need oil or something anyway so stopping at he store is no biggie.

The are some files set up to file the cutting tooth and the raker at the same time I would however only use that every third or fourth sharpening Some chains are set up with some anti kick back in the chain especially designed for the casaul user or homeowner in mind on bars less than 20" or mortors under a certain size I had a Stihl like that and would bind up evertime I needed to get thru a big log .....I got rid of it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
