Is this chain dead?

[Blackgreyhounds]

Well, I sure buggered up my square ground chain. It looks to me like there is plenty of cutter left, but it will need a healthy amount filed/ground off. I do not know how to file square cutters yet and I'm not starting on a 115 dl Stihl chain. Anyone on here offer square filing and/or grinding? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Used to be a few guys, not sure who offers it anymore.

You could always just sharpen it round

That loop is at what, half life after removing the damaged area?
I'd just round file/grind.

There is more of it left if it's kept square with the vertical cutting edge, vs removing the round filed part

Is FABZ
still hawking the RAZER tm llc chain?

Square it is then.

I am unfamiliar with square filing/grinding, as such I am generally unaware of it's benefits.

Haha. Not sure. Waiting on a job in the South Pacific and I’ll probably still be in Connecticut when that rolls around. I should have drove up and got them. I wasn’t but a couple hours at most from you a few weeks ago
