Thank you.
This is the first video about sharpening a chainsaw that it's simple, informative and straight to the point. Thanks brother!
DW: Your close ups are superb! Thank You!
You seriously need to take this video down and make another one when you learn how to hand file a chain.
fred flinstone can you share a video that you suggest as the proper way to do this? Not being sarcastic but if you have a better approach I’d love to see it to learn from...
Amen to that!!.... That chain wouldn't cut a fresh turd!!
I've been a special cutting tool makers for many years now and his technique is ok but there is a few reservations. There is a left side and a right side to the chain. You wanna start with the proper size file for your chain. Smaller saws use smaller files. Never allow your chain to get as dull as the one depicted. Slow steady strokes and no waver in the angle...up, down or sideways. Also, you'll be able to see a nice clean, straight tooth edge on top. The burr or hairline along the cutting edge is what you should see when the tooth is sharp. You want all the teeth to be the same length, ideally. You won't necessarily file or grind each tooth the same amount since some teeth have more wear than others. There may be one or two teeth .010" or .015" shorter than the rest, but that should be fine. They will wear evenly eventually...or maybe not take as much on the shorter teeth during future sharpenings. Cheers from a long time wood chuck.
I gotta say this! Thanks for the straight forward video. This is pretty much how I did it in the dealer shop for on-the-saw sharpening. Costs less and effective. Maybe there should be a rule that some guys have to at least have posted one "How-To" video of his own before he can do thumbs down and say how a posted video is all wrong! I've seen guys who cut trees all day throw some strokes on a chain saw sitting on the tailgate and get back to making money, throwing streams of shredded wood! Pretty much the way you did it here! Practice makes better too. Thanks Again!
Best tutorial I've seen. Camera was nicely done.
Anybody looking at this, go to 5:11, look at the cutter on the right hand side of the screen. See that brunet area on the cutter, this has to be all filed away before you get a sharp cutter.
I think he did a fine job... Thank You very much for your helpful video demonstration. It was much appreciated.
Very helpful video for a chainsaw virgin like me. Thanks!
Simple, too the point, good camera angle. Perfect.
thank you for the tutorial on sharpening! my saw is much sharper now. thank you.
Amazing video. Did everything right. Chain was loose, put a nice curve in his stroke, and it was sharp when he was done.
Well constructed. Cuts fast.
Thank you for the video, you answered all the problems I was having.
thanks for taking the time putting up the video, it was a great deal of help. cheers
Great learning Tutorial for someone like me who has a bit of experience with cutting with a Chainsaw , but no experience with maintenance. Stay safe. Cheers. 🎸
Thanks for this video, the information was clear and it showed me all I needed to know to do this task.
It helps if you tighten the chain prior to sharpening, don't get your file at home depot go to a place that sells Stihl or Husquavarna they'll have a much better file some lawn mower shops sell them. Make sure your file is level with the tooth not pointing up or down. The top of the tooth does the cutting not the point. hold the file with the handle and on the front of the file nice and easy keeping the file as steady as possible push forward only not back do it as many times as need til sharp.
Thanks for posting, very useful!
helpful tips thanks been doing it like this for two years now works great cheers
Thanks for posting this video! Very helpful!
Thanks for explaining how easy it to to do ,I feel confident to do it myself now.
Well you simple simpleton!!
Simple, concise, clear.
Many thanks.
Making America Great Again🇺🇸
Few things in life are this straight forward. I watched this 5 minute video, went out to the garage, and sharpened my chainsaw chain up immediately. Easy. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
The Gilly McGee Show! Same here , sharpened the chain, now it cuts like butter. Thanks for the instructions.
Informative, but concise. Good to know! Thanks for posting.
Thank you. The paint pen is great idea.
Thank you for posting this how to. Thumbs up!
Thanks man I learned how to sharpen my chainsaw. Doing this tomorrow
Helpful, thanks New American Friend. New to chainsaws, just have an electric model with an Oregon chain set for light garden jobs. Though my sharpening set came with an angle guide I found that the file naturally adopted the correct angle and I could see/feel the increased sharpness after filing. If you know your way around tools: sharpening chisels etc, then it's fairly instinctive. Just tried some light cutting: all I really need, about 3 inch timber and it's like new again. People will always naysay and contradict, don't pay any heed. Your method works! Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video.
like the man said it might be good for pruning aunt Nancy's raspberry canes.
well done....It was up close so that I could see what you were doing....very helpful....Thank you
Thank you . very helpful video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, that was just what I was looking for.
Thanks, this was really helpful.
Excellent demonstration
Man I bought a kit from amazon wow you are awesome
Nice, clear instruction video. Easy to follow, even for this city boy, and it works. Thanks for posting this Doublewide.
I need your advice, I need to buy a new chain for a chainsaw 325 - 1.5 - 36 teeth, I use it for cutting firewood, we offer oregon, arcer, thorp, etc.. 🤔
Helpful video, thanks!
Hats off to anyone seeking to be more efficient.....but this SHOULD NOT be done if you care about the continued life of your chain saw.
I may have actually just watch a chain get duller.
I am afraid four strokes won't clean up all the worn area on the front of those cutters. Plus, your file is pretty dull. Use a file guide, level and top angle at 35 degrees. When that is accomplished, don't forget to lower your depth guages.
Very helpful, thanks 👍
Thanks bud ...I got a similar saw but a 50....Was doing the same w/o a vice. Chain would be good for 1 large cut and done.
great video
This can't be the right way to sharpen a chainsaw.... It's not in a controlled, static free, white gloved environment with a half a dozen experts advising the best way to pull or push a file. ACTUALLY thank you very much for this video. It confirmed with common sense how to sharpen my blade. Much appreciated! :-)
Great stuff. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I never saw this done before so it was helpful.
Appreciate it!!
Thanks for the video. 👍
Thank you for the simple explanation us rookies can understand, plus the closeups are very helpful.
A guy below commented the following n here is my 2 cents on his 2 cents.
You said " there is no way you went out and cut anything after that."
Well that's almost the same way I sharpen my Stihl saw. I try n sharpen each time I fill up the bar oil tank. (I use this as a memory aid since I am almost 67 now n often cant remember what I ate for breakfast)....
My Difference:
a. I do use a flat Stihl angle guid on my rat tail file and
b. I take 5 swipes on each of my teeth, this guy takes 4.
AND
after sharpening it is easily noticeable how much better my saw cuts with out question.
ALSO when you get the chain sharpened professionally, not only is it pricy & I need to drop it off n pick it up, the pro grinds so much steel off each tooth vs me sharpening it by hand - my chain last easy 200-300% longer when I sharpen it by hand......
Amen brother
There's no set rule for the number of swipes you need.. if I want to just put the edge back on mine then one or two swipes is enough. If I've hit a nail in the wood then it may need 10 swipes on every tooth. Part of the skill of chain sharpening is taking note of what it needs, and always start with the shortest tooth on the chain.
I watched the video which sent me in the right direction. I ended up using my dremel. It did a wonderful job cutting tonight. Thanks to your video I got it done under 10 minutes.
this video would be really complete and badass if you did it before and after sharpening cuting
You missed a spot. Never mind, I was thinking about janitorial stuff. But now I know what to do with my chainsaw repair.
how much you charge to sharpen poulan pro 18inch s62 chain
Be absolutely honest dude, did that really cut the next time you took it out woodcutting?
great lesson my friend keep it coming
Tooth length has nothing to do with the chain cutting straight, so long as the depth gauges are set properly and the bar is square and tight.
Great job well explained.. This is why I love You Tube!
A wealth of knowledge on sharpening a chainsaw I have viewed .
Fantastic video,that was a very big help thank you very much.......
nice DIY..TQ
Nice info,thx
Thanks for posting this! Simple enough once someone explains it :)
A word to the wise ... I'm not all that great about sharpening a chain saw, but I have sharpened them many times. I use safety gloves for one reason, and one reason only. That file has slipped on me before and the tooth I was filing has torn the thumb on the "driving" hand all to shreds!! It might be pretty dull to cut wood, but it's still pretty sharp to cut flesh!! BE CAREFUL!!!!!

Awful vid and should NOT be shared to teach. You never removed all the damage.
very useful . thanks
This works great for a while but eventually you have to knock down that portion of the chain that doesn't cut the wood but just clears the chip. If you don't it ends up being higher then the cutting portion of the chain and your saw won't work properly. I like your videos. Thanks.
Good point. I saw a different video that mentioned that as well. There's a tool available that allows you to file according to the recommended height (or depth) of your chain. Otherwise, this guy's video is the cats ass.
Thank you very much. I tried to use your's method to sharpen my electrical chain saw and it worked very well. No problem to report. Thanks again.
Very good muy bien.
So is it bad that I used my file as a hand saw and moved it forward and back, instead of one direction? I kind of like sawed it when I was sharpening the chain.
Files are meant to cut in one direction. Dragging them back just dulls them faster.
The general procedure shown is good, but in no way shape or form are the teeth being sharpened with the file.
The teeth are very dull and in bad shape, and will require many more filings with the file held straight (two hands gripping both ends firmly) and not making a curved stroke.
Shows how to file a chain but does not show how to sharpen.
Any idea how a person would know which size file is needed?
How come you didnt mention the angle to keep the file at? Nice video.
I thought he did same angle as the teeth that are there
Great Info! Saw some pansies complaining about nonsense below. Never mind them. Thanks for posting. Was a real help.
It will cut straight if the rakers are the proper height for each cutter. And 4 strokes is nowhere near enough for that chain, it's no sharper then when you started.
You need to file until all of the shinny edge is gone, then cut the rakers.
anyone know about chain shot? when you file past the witness marks or there is not much left of your cutters, where your cutter flies off like a bullet that can kill someone!
How do you know what angle your chain is? Is it written somewhere on the chain? Thanks
There's a guide line on each tooth.
I wonder why so many of these Negative Nancys are watching a how-to video if they know so much better... Thank you for posting what you did. Ignore all these "professionals" with no videos of their own.

Sorry dude. The guy knows shit about sharpening. And the white marker, it is very easy to see where you started. If you can't see it you are doing no good.
Titan rain-- yeah, you sharpen it his way, see how THAT works out for you.A little tip for you;learn why it's important to file down the rakers when it's appropriate.

Just looking for a quicker way but this guy is your typical city slicker. A couple good tips for a well sharpened saw is the final strokes look for a thin metal sliver at the outer edge of the tooth . It will be small and you can bend it and it will break off when you have reached this point you can't get it no sharper and also lightly file the drags
18 inch saw. What do i need?
Chain saw mechine not start please help . I am try it continues pull through cord release from mechine then after not proper fitted .
awesome thanks! got a good laugh at the profile name to :)
Tighten your chain first so it doesn't flop around when you file it. What about the rakers? When you remove metal from the angled teeth the rakers which act as a depth guide are then too high. The saw will only cut on the tip of the bar.
GrumpSkull
Just the tip?
@@VirtualWoodshed The tip of my frontal lobe. Who needs a so called pro when you can use basic logic?
Thanks for doing this video, you explained it clearly and quickly. Very well done
Aaron Davis: Yeah, just a shame he explained it wrong!
Thanks for the Video, notice how all the "experts" knocking your technique never put a link to their own Video they have taken the time to make? Thanks for taking the time!
Way to much pressure sharpening. Ur file should not bend like that
👍💪Thanks sir.
Thanks. As simple as that.
Thanks dbl wide 6 (DW6)
I'm sorry but you don't know what a sharp cutter should look like. After you got done sharping, you could not cut a 2 inch limb off with it. It is still super dull.
I'm a third generation logger
Why were you even watching this video?
Shouldn't saw be running?
Atticus Lamoreaux: Aha ha, yeah it should, I think it should be running 'full noise' with the chain brake on, just to give you some good soothing sounds to work away to.
If a blade dull as hell 4 passes wont cut it
But seriously, how is this the top search result for "sharpen a chainsaw"? And who the hell makes an instructional video telling others how to do something when they don't know for sure what they are doing themselves. My mind is blown.
Watch the stihl video or something if you want to know how to sharpen a chain.
Lol I'd hate to use a saw you sharpened.
Absolutely.
good

Go watch Buckin Billy Ray if you really need to learn how to sharpen a saw chain!!
I doubt this chain is much sharper than when he started!
Thanks for taking the time to film and explain that. I think I'll start with a good spray of Marvel Mystery Oil before starting to sharpen. Probably a good time for a quick clean-up at the covered drive shaft while at it. Thanks again.
