Square filing chainsaw chain

[@stihlnz]

John that's the business. excellent demo and explanation about hard wood angles ... I work with soft pine and keep mine about 22 degrees. You've got a nice jig there I put my saw in a vice and put a plastic wedge in/ on the bottom home coming chain. I can't tell you how happy I and to have gone square ground. faster, easier ... The one problem is telling people they are going to have to get really precise with their angles. If someones got problems with round files keeping a chain sharp, most likely they will not be to successful with square. Good luck to you and thanks for keeping square ground alive on you tube you've nailed it with that file. Hope you have a Simington 451C for a major touch up.

[@bennyblanko3]

I love your stump vice setup. Been messing with different things, and think you nailed it here!

[@andrewklein-kfs2362]

That is a nice chain vise! Great idea using a vice grips! I gotta check out your other videos for more on that vice, otherwise you should post a video about it.

This is a chain for homeowner saws, and as a homeowner in the Southeast who doesn't really count wood by the cord ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbs4FIpzuLyOJe2SesfbtvXi1CTnUXroD I have this (or 20BPX) on several saws at different levels of smallness. I've never felt that the safety chain is holding me back. I buy multiple chains, and when the installed one doesn't feel grabby enough, I file it, then throw it in a cup of gasoline while I rotate to the next one. I have yet to file one down to the wear lines, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth, and I'm happy about this new 3-pack - although, at this rate, it's going to be awhile before I buy another. I don't know why I would try anything else.

[@patdenney7046]

I like to use a six sided file.
I sharpen each edge of the chain has its own entity.
My file is all over the place and I put a variable pitch in the top edge and you can inside age depending ..
If you roll your file your side edge can be any with that you want

[@richardflagg3084]

Cut my eye looking at that tooth. Jedi master of chain sir

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Just a warning to any viewers: while watching this video, I touched the screen when he zoomed in on the chain and it was so sharp it cut my fingers through the screen

[@jeffharper7579]

Dam it I read your post to late I cut a finger and thumb😆😬.

[@codybrown3946]

Oh my... that looks sharp

[@user-xy2sk2hs7g]

Интересная методика, надо попробовать. Спасибо! 😊

[@IndianaDoug]

I just got into your sharpening techniques recently John, (God help me🤣) anyway, one issue I’m having is scraping the bottom of the file to the raker. Am I at too low of an angle, it seem really close to what you’re demonstrating here.

[@reillystsb]

It's hard to avoid some of that just don't cut the chain in half......

[@MilediGaol-hh8cx]

VERY NICE 👍👍👍

[@chainsawFirewood89]

My friend you tap the file it's a good 👍 habit to do it gets the access metal off of the file, it's a good habit to have as well, that is one shap tooth as well!! I appreciate your content as well!

[@ethanernest3987]

Sharp like Ginsu!!

[@bennyblanko3]

Just in case anyone cares, the German speaking guys at the bottom are asking about 325 chain, what file. And,, I guess triangle file is better for the little chain.

[@lukepodolski8818]

What is the part number for the file you used? Thanks

[@robertocasavecchia9179]

Laffilatura a squer grund con lima trapezio è molto difficile e spesso ci viene la becca di gallo e molti toccano troppo le maglie giunzione

[@ToddAdams1234]

I’d have gone much smaller than 7/32” and much closer to you top plate (but on the inside of it) angle. The way that you show it is a hindrance to cutting activity but the way that I suggested is helping it cut. Just sayin…

[@Lonewolve1988]

Would have been nice if you had done your video a bit longer, looks good, how long does the teeth stay sharp?

[@reillystsb]

That all depends on what type of wood you're cutting

[@jamescraig8601]

Until you run it in the dirt.

[@genexxa357]

What brand, and name is those files you are using? Cant seem to find similar files in Norway.

[@JS-oy6nn]

Vallorbe

[@JaMaLKhan-rg4fx]

Too much sharp chain isn't efficient because after one or two minutes it goes dull and not ideal for hardwood, but but save lots gas and time for short time

Super Info..

[@reillystsb]

There are several videos in. My videos

[@Wolverines1]

You mean there are still people that don’t know how to do this? 😜🤣👍🏼

[@sundial6919]

One time i do too mamern nem did too

[@RexaR74]

Can some tell me where i can buy that and do i need a special chain also or i can sharpen regular

[@reillystsb]

You need a full chisel chain. End a square file

[@RexaR74]

Chain with 90° teeth

[@randywallis9624]

Why not reshoot when you have more time and someone to help with camera

[@sophie91ism]

Hey, sehr gute Arbeit. Mach doch mal ein Video von einer 325 Kette mit Doppeltrapezfeile 💪

[@dackelschnappel2372]

Wird er wohl nicht hinbekommen. Bei einer kleinen teilung sind die triangel/hexagon feilen einfacher zu handhaben. Auch bei größerer teilung schruppt er ganz schön in die verbindungsglieder. Da fehlt noch etwas übung.

[@sophie91ism]

@@dackelschnappel2372 ja, aber schneiden tun sie...bekommst du das hin mit 325?

[@dackelschnappel2372]

Ich hab für 325 das granberg 106b benutzt, mit einer triagel/hex feile geht wunderbar. Freihand geht auch ist aber hackelig. Mit dem granberg siehts aus wie maschinell.

[@sophie91ism]

@@dackelschnappel2372 hey, wo bekomme ich das Granberg denn her, im Netz finde ich nichts

[@dackelschnappel2372]

Auf amazon com, kostet es zzt 39 dollar. Ist aus ganzmetall und verwendet kein plastik, wi zb stihl. Manchmal tauchen exemplare bei e bay auf. Ich hab meins aus usa von amazon.

[@user-tv3sf4hl3y]

Is this working?

[@fearlyenrage]

It works like hell!
You get about 10-20% faster cuts but the danger rise equaly.
