Grinding the heels off 3/8 lo pro chain

[Mull]

I'm surprised they don't manufacture carving chains with short teeth for you guys?

Yep got you now . Just you did not say it was a brand new chain initially , just that you could get them all the same length ....

 

Fair point, I was too eager to share my granberg method and prematurely posted without the full facts:blushing:

1/4 chain used to need modifying but these days it's carving ready out the box.

I guess there's not enough demand for carving lo pro, it's not too much hassle to modify though.

great minds think alike si!

as soon asi can get to fedex to collect it i have to do the same thing to my vpx chain to fit on my new toonie bar. I dont have one of them fancy shmancy sharpening thingies thou (but was lookign at oen today, they worth the 60- quid?) so i gues sill have to use a grinder/sander. will give me something to do on thursday when i have a long-needed day off work!

Dave they are worth it mate, great at re setting nail damage!

I don't know if you do any milling but when you have to take 3mm off every cutter on a 3ft bar after hitting shrapnel they are a god send.
