▲ 2 r/sharpening
Now for something else that needs sharpening.
I was out trying to fell a couple of trees and I was struggling with my chainsaw not getting any traction, creating burnmarks and generally having a bad time. I have been part of this community for quite some time and it struck me that the saw liekly needs sharpening (by now you should have understood that I am pretty much a nivice when it comes to chainsaws).
I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmv1JsoFZPA and it was quite informative (and I found the stihl equivalent sharpener on a chineese page so I am going to try that first). Anyone tried to free hand sharpening a chainsaw with the file?
Do you need to treat it like a knife where you use more and more grit - or is it more that you just need a edge of some sorts?
