You need to round the leading edge some

Yes. Just gotta run the last chain I did and see how it cuts. I am amazed at how much metal is filed off for square filing. To me. It seems much more than round filing.

Yours is cut back far enough, just round the top a little

Like I said I'm new to this, haha. Kinda hard to see the detail in a YouTube video.

I've got a lot to learn myself, I enjoy it though.
When I have time

Ur chains look great man, I enjoy it too. The actual filing has become fairly easy, but trying to make one lightweight and smooth is very time consuming. Wish I had started with a shorter chain lol.

Raining here to. All I've done today was sharpen.
Hands hurt

 

[Deets066]

I found out the hard way... but I now wear gloves when I do a lot of filing. I had hudreds of little metal slivers

Any suggestions?
