Thanks for the info guys how do I file the rakers and know if I'm taking to much of them or not ?

 

Has that not been covered in cs30??

This is the point I was trying to make. We've taken on various staff over the years and they all have the same problem that they haven't been taught the basics of sharpening. Is this the fault of the tutors or the NPTC standards? Yes we all had to start somewhere and we all learn over time but shouldn't the standards being taught be of concern?

Is there different 3/16 sharpening files someone told me there is and a shop told me there is only 1 file ?

Tutors fault, the nptc say to manufacturers specification, I think that is pretty simple

How can there be different 3/16th files, they are either 3/16th or they aren't

Id say its the assessors. When I did my 30 my mate was let off for not wearing gloves. He should have failed. There are too many dodgy assessors about!

There are differing brands. They all work fine. I prefer Save Edge.

I have a husky 560 I'm thinking of changing the sprocket from the 325 chain to a 3/8 chain it's meant to be unreal but does anyone have any faults I should know about before I change it ?
