Last roll of 404 I got now says Made in Brazil. Don't know if all of it is, or just some sizes

Hey look, a person that understands why a wheel is shaped and how to use it! I'm ashamed to admit, I only learnt this last year

I have broken off plenty when they are at the end of life but this.... How the hell did they do this Good thing this chain is 1 link to long to suit my bar. I know which one is getting removed

Well f me. You see something new everyday

There used to be a really good Oregon tool that looked like a big wedge. You put the right thickness part into the groove and the outer part would close the rails in when you hit down on it. Wish I had one but the hammer and gauges works well enough for me

I put the feeler gauges needed into the bar groove then use a hammer and a flat surface to close them. Go slightly thinner than required for the feeler gauges that you put in the groove. For 050 use 048 or so. It allows the metal to bend in a bit and come back out when it's hit. Yes it's rough...

One down, 35 to go

Let's keep bringing down the quality in here

Here is a Stihl 36RS that has been "sharpened" with a grinder The problem is That's not going to cut anything.

I think I have every chain sharpening mistake and all types of chain damage covered with this lot of chains. Plan to use them with the descriptions and drawings in some of the chain manuals to show what happens. I have never seen this before and think it was a broken rim sprocket that may have...

It has a broken tie strap and a whole lot of other problems as well. The guy was hard on equipment Wish I was the one selling him bars and chains, I would be rich 😆

To many good looking cutters in here. You can tell how well it worked by the wear on the underside
