Oak milling, how to sharpen Ganberg chain.

[Capstankid!]

How do? Here is a few photos of my first go at milling I built the mill myself. I am using Ganberg 3/8 milling chain and a 42 inch Gb lo pro bar. This may be a stupid question but I am guessing you just use a 7/32 file to sharpen then chain? It just seemed fairly tight so I got the job done but I just need to sharpen the chain now.

Cheers Joe

Really nice piece off oak,when I am milling I always try to take as little off the top of the log as possible.

Hi mate a granberg sharpener from Rob D on hear would be the way forward for sharpening very quick and always get the cutters the same length , nice bit of oak what are your plans for it ,milling is addictive isnt it , I love it turning over the first cut and seeing what it looks like inside I could never get board of it Happy Milling

Can't help with the question but are you sure it's oak as it looks a lot like elm in the pictures. Great looking boards either way

Cheers Mark. Which sharpener is it, is it the perscion one? My plan is to get a reel of chain and make four chains up and just sharpen them on a night.

Defiantly Oak( qurcus rober)! It has a lovely grain, wait for the later photos there's a bigger peice to mill.

You could try a 4mm file 5/32 I think.
