It's not race chain but I converted one of my 20lpx 325 chains this afternoon. Needs some clean up, but I'm tickled with it

Nice. Tough to fit the file in there.

Thanks bud. I did it with the vise-grip locked in the bench vise ,one tooth at a time, John Riley method. Works well. Yeah it's a little tight but doable.

You should get Picco skip and practise...lol

That doesn't look very familiar for a work cut to me. J/k
Looks like you can shave skin of your fingers with that.
Is that a grind or hand?
Don't you damage the cutters when you doctor it up further or did you just do one tooth?

Crazy I thought it was a grinder. The two biggest problems I would have with that for cutting trees.
I wouldn't get that half second or second rest on my front arm every time I had to brush out the sapling and I would be blast through the hinge on 3 ft trees.

*Edit I missed you post and pic. (I see It now.) I though You & Jeff were talking about you filing Keith's chain. looks like a solid work chain.

I forgot what I was going to say last post.

In regards to holding each tooth in grips in a vice.

first tri file I used was holding the cutter in my fingers and It was on round chisel in a hotel. just had to try a few out.

Should see some coast fallers file on the hill. Jam the bar tight between two logs with the power head straight up in the air.

I bet that was interesting trying to hold it in your fingers lol. I can maintain a chain on the saw ,but not doing a conversion from round to square.
