My company just purchased a used HOLDEC TRANSCUT 2 lumber pack cutter,which has a huge 5 or 6 ft chain on it.The chain is a "rip tooth rapid super39460000204 stihl chain.It looks like a normal saw chain to me,but im far from being an expert.:)It says the pitch is.404.
The saw does a pretty neat job and doesnt splinter much.My boss wants to keep the angles perfect and for me to decide on a tool to sharpen it.It looks like the previous owner had tryed to sharpen itand a couple of the teeth have wrong angles.With the number of teeth,i do not want to hand file,i really would like a bar mount grinder for it.I have a bench mount at home,but with this long chain i would prefer not having to remove it.
Ive searched and searched and cant decide.All the bar mounts say not for ripping chains,something about 20 degrees,im not understanding this.If i go with a bench mount im going to have to make somathing to keep the chain stretched out while i have it on the grinder ,to keep it from piling up on the floor in front of me Im leaning the oregon 511 x if i cant find a bar mountthat will work.
ADVICE please

I looked it up.

I would sharpen the spare chains off the bar and clean and oil them. If you sharpen them on the bar all the grindings from the chain are now in the links and the bar. I would rather swap a chain at lunch for a fresh one than fight with it on the bar grinder.

I tried to get this Youtube to post open within the site but ?????????
