sharpening problems

Or keep it use an electric grinder on it instead.

Pro sharpening services will use one.

Shame to waste the chain.

That makes sense that its hardened after using while too blunt. Doing alot of logging just now so maybe need to sharpen more regularly.thanks. i normally do it every tank of fuel

Can you post a picture of the chain? Depth gauges don't need dropping do they?

 

Don't get disheartened, loads of professionals can't sharpen a chain to save their life.

Yep, yesterday I blunted a half used chain on 372 hitting a hidden piece of metal, I put it on the back of the pick up, had a go (put my glasses on and everything) tried again, still crap. Thought "stuff it" put a new one on and chucked the other one away.

I'm into the habit of doing that.

I was gonna say depth gauges as well. Try a bigger file, then go back to the correct size. If it's taking up this much time and energy just sack it off and get a new one:001_smile:

i had a chain that a file just wouldnt touch just kept skidding about, ended up taking to the shop where they took it down on a grinder and then was fine after that...odd
