Is this sharpening vid any good?

We drag knuckles, not files

Never did mind the chalkboard deal. Let er rip.

Nah. I was agreeing with you. Round files aren't so bad at a couple bucks. But I try my best to not drag a double bevel

The gullet doesn't cut. It only carries chips.

Get the edges (2) sharp.
Try to make each cutter the same angle.
Check the depth gauges.
Keep the gullets clear.

Fixed.

Not sexy or fancy or with any bouncing, bucking, boat filing moves. But a simple, clear, straightforward video on basic chain sharpening.

Very, very basic. Lol

Encouraged by Buckin' Bill's vids, I resharpened by 25" RSC last night with slightly more gusto than usual.

I noticed that on one or two cutter sides a very tiny bit of burring happens since presumably sometimes the very last piece of metal gets left behind by the file stroke.

What do you peeps do about those burrs? Just leave them right? I don't think that it's the chain saying "Matt you're pushing too hard", cos that Billy Ray was certainly using no less force from what I could see.

Sounds like the chrome on the cutter rolling back ,that happens when i grind ,it will pop off when use the chain for a bit if not too bad.

No matter how you slice and dice his technique, his message of "get the gullet" rings true for all users. For people that don't know it can be a huge game changer for them.

Yup. That's what I picked up from it. So that's gotta be a good thing. Not thought about it much till now.....and hopefully tomorrow I'll see whether I put theory into practice correctly!
