knackered my bar today

[18 stoner]

yes its called a bench grinder and if i blunt a chain out on a job i always have several spare saves alot of time and hassle out on a job.

 

Rubbish

 

 

I have read some stuff on here but using a bench grinder to sharpen chain takes the biscuit!

 

Another piece of advice Mr Testpicket; try using an angle grinder, or better still, a file, but i guess some training may be needed for the latter by the sounds of it.

Also if you look at the pic of the bar it's got burs on the top of the bar and the bottom, I only ever get a bur on the bottom (main cutting side) of my bar.

 

So either bar has been turned without being filed or the chain has been way too tight.

[Rich Rule]

either way, as pointed out earlier the bar looks a lot older than having occasional use for 5 months.

 

was the bar new or new to you ?

No, not trying to offend you fella, just reading some of the posts and threads you have made, you seem to have some very strange views and ways. Almost novice like.
