Learn the correct way to sharpen a chainsaw to GET THE BEST CUT POSSIBLE!! Covers all the important information you need to do this! I’ve chosen 3 of the most common chains you could have on your chainsaw for this video…a full size 3/8 chain to chisel chain with the biggest teeth, three to five chain which has small cutter teeth and then a 3/8 chain which is a picot chain or a low-profile chain with tiny cutter teeth. I go over how to match a file that fits your chain. From there I’m going to explain the details of the chain, hooks, file guides, uniform angles, the rakers and in the end…how do you actually know if you sharpened your chainsaw right or not?? I have the answers! Watch to find out…

I'm a 77yo woman and have been sharpening my hubby's chains for years. His eyes are not as good as mine. Sounds like I have been doing a good job. We have a wood burning furnace so need lots of wood. I use a jewelers magnifier to make sure I get a nice sharp edge. Thanks for the info.

@edwinrohweller

Man I love a channel that gets right to business. No crazy intro, no loud music, just really good content. Thank you.

@mermaid10x

This is real Canadian content eh. No screaming rock blasting away or stupid spinning titles nor some egomaniacal turd trying to convince us of their god like mastery of the subject matter. You aren’t even trying to sell us some junk or a tee shirt with their logo on it.

I wish all DIY videos were this clear, concise and well-produced.

Steve I don't know why your videos aren't the first ones pushed by KZfaq, there are millions of people who use small engine power tools every day who don't realize how much you could teach them. No politics, no spin, just straight up information. Thank YOU and please keep up the good work.

I wish I found this channel earlier! No BS, no gimmicks, just clear instructions so that we can tune up our tools and get back to work. This is what a how-to video should be. Cheers.

I've spent the last day or two completely captivated by your tips, insight and knowledge Steve. I have had a Stihl 026 for about 20 + years. I was having trouble getting it running this season and a small engine mechanic told me it was toast. The piston and cylinder were scored, the compression was bad and the carb and fuel lines were all gummed up. He suggested that I leave it with him for parts, lest I pay $40.00 for his time and pick up the saw. I did the latter.

This video is 5 years old and I have seen SEVERAL videos on sharpening. The last part on the rakers is pure gold. Lots of people tell you how to sharpen the rakers. Not many describe the symptoms of when to sharpen rakers and what to look for if raker depth is set correctly. Thanks for that Steve!

This is by far and away the best chainsaw sharpening video in the world. Steve explains not only the how, but the why. I learnt so much from this. Thank you.

I've been sharpening saw chain by hand for 30 years and I still learned something from this video. Thanks!

I like that you take the time to discuss the design elements of chainsaw chains and provide examples of what (and what not) to do when sharpening chainsaw teeth. I've learned how important it is to understand the function of the raker, and its height relative to the cutting edge of the tooth. As a mechanic/mechanical technologist, I appreciate your skill in delivering engineering-level information minus the techno-jargon. Ever considered becoming a college-level teacher?

A nice easy to understand video. But still manages to get all the information and safety rules across. One guy said mark ONE of the teeth with a marker pen so you know when you started.

I'm going on 78, been using a chainsaw -- occasional use, maybe 10-to-20 hours a year -- for 60 years. Of all the advice I've been offered over the years (videos, magazine articles, instruction manuals, even my USFS instructor in '62), this is the best I've found, here in this video and your video on proper tensioning. Turns out, I've been doing things right all along, but I never knew WHY I needed to lift the nose of the blade when tensioning and tightening, I never knew that by over tensioning I could harm my sprocket or blade...and there were many great explanations on this video as well. Your videos are clear, well organized, and concise...20 minutes is a long instruction video, but you didn't waste any time, and you "covered the trapline" very nicely. I've always used a raker guide to determine when to file the rakers, and it has worked OK...but I've been cutting pine, doug fir, and other softwoods all my life. Your advice to adjust the height of the rakers based on the hardness of the wood was eye-opening, and obvious...as soon as you explained it. And you were spot-on in your observation that many sharpening instructions completely ignore raker-height, which is nuts. Thank you, for this and your other videos.

Steve, My first experience with a chain saw (I live in England) and this video makes me a lot more confident I can maintain this useful piece of equipment. (I am over 70yrs old so a late starter with a chain saw.) Need to start cutting logs now oil and gas so expensive. Feel a lot more confident after videos on chain tension and chain sharpening. You are a great teacher and your instructions are very clear. I have had a file guide in my tool box for over 40years and never knew it was for chain saw teeth! You live and learn.

I 've looked at a lot of videos on KZfaq, covering a broad range of subject matter, and out of all of them I would rate ALL of YOURS, among the very HIGHEST in QUALITY, in both CONTENT, and, PRODUCTION. I appreciate the PRACTICAL information presented in a clear and concise manner, with excellent camera work and proper EDITING; Some of the VERY BEST instructional material I have seen dealing with the INHERENTLY TEMPERMENTAL small engine regarding PROPER OPERATION and MAINTENANCE. The BEER,.....WELL, just like the ENGINE, you can't be expected to run on EMPTY! And a little EXTRA lubrication doesn't hurt anything either!

Raker or depth gauge tools are very important to use if you're taking different amounts of metal off each tooth. Definitely need to get a consistent depth gauge height first, then take more strokes off if it is still not giving good sized chips.

I’m laying in bed on a Sunday morning and feeling a welling of gratitude for this video and channel. I have a little electric chainsaw for yard projects, and I’m sure i can benefit from your detailed advice. Can’t wait to get it working again. Thanks Steve!
