Full chisel sharpening.

[Rob D]

If it makes it easier just forget square ground chain - it's not really relevant these days (because the amount of effort to sharpen it far outweighs any benefits you get).

Chaps, neither chain there is square ground. A sq ground grinder has a truly square profile much like a new cutting disc on an angle grinder and comes in at a different angle and if I knew how to post a picture of one you'd all admit it looks odd.

 

The stihl micro chain (semi chisel) in the pictures has just been ground in the factory by a odd shaped rounded profile wheel, possibly on a Friday afternoon.

Question from and old thread, is it normal to have two teeth consecutive on the same side of the chain?

Never seen this personally.

Hello everybody by the way, love the site, tremendous resource of solid advice and information.

Makes me laugh too 🙂

[Steve Bullman]

Yes. Sometimes necessary on odd size bars. Won’t affect performance 

[BobSwedish]

Ahh, odd size bars, thanks Steve

Yep the 14" or was it 12" ? on an 020 always had that . Used to use it as a start / finish guide when sharpening . 

[BobSwedish]

OK, never used a small top handle so I've never seen it.

These doubles can also be useful as a handy reference to know where you started sharpening or filing rakers, if your chain is very clean.
