How often do you sharpen ?

[Mesterh]

 

Really???

 

I can sharpen a chain faster than I can change one.

 

 

I was going to say you must be quick but at you age, NARRRRR, you just need to improve swapping the chain.

 

You should have a look at this then, I reckon it will be right up your alley.

 

 

 

 

Seriously though I think Mr Bullman has it sorted. IIRC he can manage 6 months out of an 020 chain!

 

The tight git!

Whenever it feels dull I give it a few strokes. Crap cutting gets on my moobs, would much rather sort out early rather than have to spend bare time doing it when utterley blunt.

The only thing I get time for in the adverts is making a pot of tea.

[Heads up]

Sharpenings one of my least favourite tasks, so not as often as i should. Though i do quite enjoy tidying up other peoples "sharpening".

Once a day; on a hardwood thinnings basis. More than that = you're in the dirt too much.

when ever dangerous bri has been cutting firewood !!! .

 

now seriously i sharpen my ms200 one a week i guess and my ground saws get a tickle when ever they feel like they have lost their edge .

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I sharpen my saws when they get dull, simples! sharp saw cuts good, fast and takes less effort, i like it "sporty"

same here, a chain stays on till its fckd , changing is just lazy & a waste off money:thumbdown:

 

Is this right in all circumstances, what if you have a massive beech in a back garden that has to be ringed and quarted would you still do it with a chain that is not performing well, regardless of how sharp it is!

 

I tend to sharpen at least twice per day if im using the same saw all day, why would any one want to have to put more effort into using the saw, reduce the safety factor and put more stress on your chainsaw!
