Chainsaw chain sharpening.......

Maintaining a sharp toothed chain saw is like sharpening a chef's carving knife.

A little touch up every now and then!

On a saw chain that translates to a stroke or 2 every 2nd tank fill up.

Draw filing the chain bar to keep it square from time to time is another often neglected task.

So that when you are filing down the raker you're not accidentally nicking the sharpened tooth with a file and so dulling it.

Other then size of saw, type of chain, size of trees can be used as a dept guide on saw chain rakers, so if your cutting mostly small trees and bushes, probably shouldn't give the rakers a crew cut. But if using a Husqvarna, the best saw in the world, and cutting big firewood and logs then that is where a mule and a ox will work the best.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one Oldpath . . . (about the Husqvarna :) )

OK 4570, but not in my experience . . . :confused3:. . . we all love our "Brand". :drink:

Stihl makes a fine saw along with others that don’t have the brand recognition those 2 do but Stihl isn’t worthy of the blind praise across all models that many people give it.

This topic bleeds more prejudice than the HST versus Gear discussions. Everyone is an expert. :)
