Thanks for the upload, appreciated. Yeah, I bought and tried most of that stuff too. Through the progression, I got my chains sharper but it was a struggle that had promise but satisfaction was a long time coming but I eventually got the FG2. I just use Stihl FG2 now but went through a learning curve on it also (and still learning hopefully) Currently using Carlton semi chisel which I sharpen at 35 deg top plate and 5 deg down which seems to parallel the top plate angle. These angles are from the chain when new. I think the recommendation on the box is 30 deg top plate and zero deg down. Cheers d
