If it’s just spitting powder while cutting after a fresh sharpening, chances are your depth gauges, or rakers as they are also known, are too tall, and the cutting teeth aren’t actually engaging the wood. Take 2-3 strokes off each raker with a flat file/mill bastard and test.If you pud pounders were to buy a chain grinder that's does a decent job but won't cost a *f-wordton of greenbacks, what would you buy?
I've got a bunch of jacked up chains and some I were able to file back into shape. 1 just ground one on my pos grinder and the cutters are visibly different length now and the bish just spits powder... I kinda want to blow the fuggin thing up. I've been getting my aśs handed to me with chain sharpening lately.
