Tomorrow when I have some daylight.

Cool. I have snow and limited wood or else I would do a video comparing round and square on same piece of wood, same saw.

Our snow will be gone by tomorrow I think. I have some short test logs but they're kinda dirty.

I did a test with my square and round chain. Both chains .025 rakers

Looks good! Freehand, or did you try the Granberg again?

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice. Square file was definitely faster and looked like it self fed faster. [emoji106]
Cool test. Nice saw.

Thanks, that was freehand. My Granberg just isn't gonna work. I kinda wish it would but I'll figure it out without.

The homelite410 vise has been a huge help.

Well, too bad about the Granberg.. I'll still post some pictures of mine, maybe that'll help... if you're still interesting trying to use it.

Agreed, Mike's vises are great!

I might grab a 108 model and try again or get the smaller type of file to try. Taking the guesswork out of the angles would be great for a beginner like me.

Definitely post the pics, if nothing else it will help someone else.

Lol. But one always must wonder. Lol

 

[beaglebriar]

Good progress sir.

Thanks man. A bit of a learning curve here, I can run a round file but this crap is different fo sho.

 

[huskihl]

Lol. But one always must wonder. Lol

I broke one last year at Custer's gtg. The file corner had got enough through the strap that it just nicked the rivet. Sliced a dolmar chain catcher right off. Which is quite a feat since they're almost 1/4" thick. I was impressed lol
