Are you saying you take the bar off everytime you sharpen the chain?

Rubbish

Rubbish

 

No it aint.

 

A chain getting battered by a bit of stone in some timber takes ages to resharpen.

 

Always have spare chains at hand for this type of situation.

Takes minuets with a sharp file, IMPE.

 

This thread makes no sense, IMO, look at the pic of the bar at the start of the thread, it looks knackered and is burred to hell, I only file off the burs when I fit a new chain and I never get that much bur.

 

I have 2 year old bars with more paint on than this one.

Use to sharpen all the harvester chains with the grinder,i can see it being handy for having a few spares in the truck,but once they've been done with the grinder am i right in thinking you can't touch them with the file again because they've been hardened.I've seen plenty bars do this as well,Usually caused by tight chain and lack of oil.I always found that a replacement sprocket in an old bar never lasted IMO:001_smile:
