You can the drop the file down and take out the gullets when needed .

 

That's what do if needed. If there's no gullet i first give in down and backwards pressure to open up the gullet and start shaping the hook, then the up and backwards pressure to perfect the hook and top plate cutting edge.

 

The guys i work with can't file a chain worth a damn. 😕

I thought everyone used the small wheel electric grinders now? 🤔

 

You can't beat the sharpness of a properly hand-filed chain. A brand new chain that's been done with a grinder isn't quite as good as once it's been filed properly.

I just imagined that you all took plenty of sharp chains with you and sharpened them at night. I have 230v power in my van so I would use that, cheers m.

Get yourself an einhell cordless one and batteries are cheap enough from toolstation. Cracking tool

Take 5 chains and rock all 5, you're screwed.

 

And the cost of chains adds up fast, it would be nice to have a bunch of spares for each bar but that's a fair bit of money.

I thought you were all loaded by the price to take a tree down and flog the logs. There was I thinking the chain was the least of your worry. You buy a 100' roll and make up your own and then you sharpen in the safety of your shed. That's what I intend to do but I have a pension so money not an issue. fwiw

Like i said green as grass 😏Not everyone lives down south and get the big money. Many lads on here go through some lean times i am sure.

Oh yeah, rolling in cash. Sharpen a chain? Chuck it in the bin and bang a new one on..

I find it useful to give the cutters a quick sharpen every now and again whilst working. I find it's quicker than changing a chain and speeds up cutting.

 

I also don't have a bench of blunt chains to deal with...
