I hope you make a chain grinding video at some point, I have the same grinder and I think I have it dialed in pretty good but I like to see what other people are doing. I have a short video on how I set mine. This summer I will be testing some custom grinds for myself because I like my own chains real aggressive.
Just a note, recently had "bar freeze/lock thinking a gear problem,,, well the fiber locking nut locking part failed or wore out over the many years of use and would tighten down and lock/freeze the blades,,, it was a combo nut and bolt issue,, bolt threads major ware ,, in this case the duo closest to the gears, new nut and bolt, and back in action..
It looks like they are really neglecting the proper way to use their hedge trimmers? And it's obvious they will be going through cutter bars? They are hitting wire, or T-bar posts or something else? I use my chainsaw a lot! And I don't dull it that bad, or even hit random things that cause that much damage to the chainsaw teeth when I've cut brushy stems? I'm very careful with my tools, and I don't want to have to run back to the truck just to get my file. That's a waste of time, and it can be frustrating to have to sharpen the saw chain? Because of something easily missed? And I don't like to get into dirty wood? The Dirt that gets into the wood after impacting the ground? That will dull a chain faster than ever? Sometimes more than just accidentally hitting a rock, that was lodged into the bark upon impacting the ground. So they have to be working the equipment pretty radically? Or simply by neglect or just abusing the equipment? Possibly only because they don't care about it because it's not theirs and they are not having to maintain it? Or by trying to rush through and get the job done? Im not trying to put any blame on anyone? Basically the equipment doesn't get that way by cutting limbs, brushy shrubs! or there is a lot of wire around the shrubs and trees? The blade edges are usually hardened steel and they can't get that way by cutting the materials they were designed for? If they were used properly? I hardly have to stop to sharpen my cutting tools? I keep them sharp and I try not to hit anything else when cutting? I would be curious to know how you figure out how to take down the rakers on saw chain and what type of gauges do you use to determine how much they need taken down? As per side of the saw chain that gets dull more than the opposite side? And I understand the process, and the reason for using a gauge for measuring the height of the teeth and the rakers? After all I have been climbing trees and using chainsaws for over 40 plus years so far? And I have a lot of experience in doing it? I like learning about other ways people are sharpening and taking down the rakers? and sometimes I can learn different techniques and how other people? Even though you pretty much do it the same way? With a file and a raker gauge? Or just by free-hand? Which is the way i do it, except for the rakers, and sometimes I'll do them free-hand too?
That was a nice demo on the Stihl USG 👍. I want one now 😀
Does a great job, hard to justify the cost. I thought this video would be more popular!
13:02 take the bolt out completely and use the arm as the stop for more adjustment

Will do, give me a week or two.

New subscriber here. Good video I just did a video on switching the chain on my 661
- 8 degrees is the proper setting.
