Square filing chainsaw chain

Cut my eye looking at that tooth. Jedi master of chain sir

John that's the business. excellent demo and explanation about hard wood angles ... I work with soft pine and keep mine about 22 degrees. You've got a nice jig there I put my saw in a vice and put a plastic wedge in/ on the bottom home coming chain. I can't tell you how happy I and to have gone square ground. faster, easier ... The one problem is telling people they are going to have to get really precise with their angles. If someones got problems with round files keeping a chain sharp, most likely they will not be to successful with square. Good luck to you and thanks for keeping square ground alive on you tube you've nailed it with that file. Hope you have a Simington 451C for a major touch up.

That is a nice chain vise! Great idea using a vice grips! I gotta check out your other videos for more on that vice, otherwise you should post a video about it.

I love your stump vice setup. Been messing with different things, and think you nailed it here!

Just a warning to any viewers: while watching this video, I touched the screen when he zoomed in on the chain and it was so sharp it cut my fingers through the screen

Интересная методика, надо попробовать. Спасибо! 😊

I like to use a six sided file.
I sharpen each edge of the chain has its own entity.
My file is all over the place and I put a variable pitch in the top edge and you can inside age depending ..
If you roll your file your side edge can be any with that you want

[lukepodolski]

What is the part number for the file you used? Thanks

[Lonewolve]

Would have been nice if you had done your video a bit longer, looks good, how long does the teeth stay sharp?

My friend you tap the file it's a good 👍 habit to do it gets the access metal off of the file, it's a good habit to have as well, that is one shap tooth as well!! I appreciate your content as well!

I just got into your sharpening techniques recently John, (God help me🤣) anyway, one issue I’m having is scraping the bottom of the file to the raker. Am I at too low of an angle, it seem really close to what you’re demonstrating here.

[bennyblanko]

Just in case anyone cares, the German speaking guys at the bottom are asking about 325 chain, what file. And, , I guess triangle file is better for the little chain.

Laffilatura a squer grund con lima trapezio è molto difficile e spesso ci viene la becca di gallo e molti toccano troppo le maglie giunzione

[genexxa]

What brand, and name is those files you are using? Cant seem to find similar files in Norway.

[RexaR]

Can some tell me where i can buy that and do i need a special chain also or i can sharpen regular

[randywallis]

Why not reshoot when you have more time and someone to help with camera

[ToddAdams]

I’d have gone much smaller than 7/32” and much closer to you top plate (but on the inside of it) angle. The way that you show it is a hindrance to cutting activity but the way that I suggested is helping it cut. Just sayin…

[williamtoney]

do you have a video showing your chain holding jig?
