How to square file

[Moparmyway]

Keeping your rakers high and getting the chain to self feed id s recipe for a very durable and effective chain !!!

I need an intervention Kevin.
I may have to take the Ferry to the Isle for some lessons. I went from bad, to super bad. I will need to have it ground to true it.

Want to send me your chain(s) ?

If any chain has been ground on, my files won't ever touch them

OK. I will wait a bit.
Thank you. [emoji106]

I have a chain now that is square filed but, the gullets on one side have been burned with a grinder. How else can it be fixed?

Dress the wheel on a round grinder and clean the burned gullets up. Then hit the gullets with a round file. Should be fine

OK cool. I'll break out the old Belsaw sharpener and dig up a wheel. Not sure where this chain came from.

Had some time this morning to work on this lil play chain. After making them smaller I got the rakers rounded off. @Deets066

Thanks man, haven't run it yet. I hope to try it out this weekend. I'm thinking it'll be a little smoother running this time. Lol

Learned a few things this weekend at a gtg about square filing chain.



Different way to hold the file still produces a great looking cutter. Stoning is more important than I thought.

Thanks John Reilly!

A few minutes with JR would definitely be worth the price of admission. Not sure if ya call him an artist or a voodoo master? lol

That is John working on his chain. He has the cleanest chains and saws I have ever seen. Cleaner than new. Almost polished.
