What you do with vanguard chain once it quits cutting.

put it on the grinder backwards and grind the rakes

File those vangaurd rakers from the leading edge Matt, they will get lower.

Interesting thread, some really sharp looking teeth.

I think I'll stay with round filed for the amount of cutting I do - for now!

Lol. My tooth is very, very sharp, but probably won't cut. Lol

That's a lot better looking then a few months ago.
How you cut it like that, that's some serious cutting teeth rite there.

I cut a tree with this today. I don't have a lot of experience with cutting with square filed chain.
This type of filed tooth I thought cut very well. Loaded the saw well. Tree was only about 10" in diameter, and I used it with my MOFO 026. This is Oregon square file 3/8 on a 16" bar. It really cut well.
But I know I gotta go back and try and fix it and try again.
Only odd thing I did notice was the size and shape of the chips. Very different. Smaller but more of them. I really had nothing to try against it, but I am going to keep at it. [emoji106]
