I don't think it is a issue . Like you I adjust it until it cuts well . Usually 2 stokes on the rakers every 3rd sharpen .

I don't like me and I'm not even famous ....

If it was a " trav " site its ok coz they can do whatever they like .....

I tend to file the rakers to suit the conditions ....Soft wood low hard wood not so . When I said no and no it was to the question " has any body looked into the fact that the pressed steel gauge is a tad inaccurate......
-
No . and no .

I had one several years ago as a stop gap whilst Spud was porting my 346XP . It was around the 45-50cc mark and I was surprized at how good it was . Plastic cases I think . Sold it a week later for a bit more than I paid .

Well yes, that's what he said . He was lucky it only damaged his lawn and hedge . -
Pfanner Gladiator Extreme for me .

It hardens carbon steel but not copper , so really Its ok to quench . just habit . Working copper hardens it but you can anneal it over and over again .

I would not quench it in water . just let it cool slowly in air .

Just as an aside ...Any one ever ridden a motorcycle in the rain on full wets ? The grip is totally bonkers . Take quite I bit of over coming your natural self preservation instinct to reach the limits . -
Superb . Reminds me of Steve Howe ........

Yes ............. Maybe as you get near the end of the life of the cutter you could step down a size in file but its no biggie really .

CNC Manufacturing can produce very good consistency .(I am a time served tool maker in a past life ) However mass production manufacturing tolerances wont allow for fine tuning . Also modern restrictive emission clutter can be over come . So yes , I am saying that he can make a better saw out of a production machine . I am not saying Husqvarna , Stihl , Echo etc could not do it , just that the cost would be prohibitive in a production based inviroment .
-
The draw back is in production costs . Tighter tolerances , extra work . Mass produced parts can never match up to hand worked parts what ever the subject be it cars , boats , saws etc etc .

Just telling it like it is Gary

My saws are ported ( spud did them ) and I have to say it is well worth it . They are ultra reliable , more efficient and just as safe , or even more so , than a standard saw . If you need to chase that cut on the hurry up etc etc .........

He is having lunch in the restaurant at the end of the universes and the answer is 42 I believe ........
