I used a brand new flat file today and it wouldn't even touch the rakers!!

 

It's going to have to be done with a grinder!

 

If the depth guides have been so high they've been running in contact with the bottom of the cut, they seem to become case hardened. A couple of strokes under hard pressure seems to remove it- but I know what you mean.

 

Had similar with customers saws where they've been ground in a hire shop and a round file wants to skate off.

 

Just my conclusion.

Odd that they want £17 frothier site and yet take £12 if you buy the same through Ebay.

Mind you, given my last attempted purchase from them on Ebay I will now go back to my local dealer and get Oregon chains at a couple of quid more.

I detest poor sellers on Ebay, especially when they try to mess you about and tell you what they think you want to hear.

 

Not much wrong with the chains, but the sellers are not worth wasting time or money on

It was a brand new chain so rakers were at normal height, a real careful sharpen can get these chains cutting nice.... but it don't last long, any debris has a real bad effect on the teeth and there does seem to be a massive inconsistency in the metal for the teeth and rakers......

 

I'll stick with Oregon :)
