Glad you showed the cordless dremel and diamond bit combo earlier. Really handy and quick when you're away from the shop. I like how the diamond bits don't change shape, they just cut less as they wear out.

" believe it or not I've worked with my hands before" LOL, that was funny.

I recently followed you down the Dremel path and got some Oregon bits as well. I've been hand sharpening and always thought that I was pretty good at it. The biggest difference I see is that you can see the tooth get back into shape right before your eyes. It was like adding horsepower to the saw. This morning, I had about 8 more cuts to make in some 12" oak and rather than stopping to re-sharpen, I just pushed through. I really slows down when it's dull. I'm sold for sure.

Good morning everyone. Kenny upstages you again. Bigger more powerful. I have four brothers just like him! That 12 volt Dremel is the way to go! Thanks for the demonstration Kenny.

Just going back thru and watching all the videos. I really enjoy the ones with Ken in them I have a 12v Oregon sharpener I use it sometimes… I only use them to just touch a cutter up Beyond that I hand file. And if I have a chain that’s TOTALLY wrecked. I’ll put it in my bench chain grinder

great vid Chris and Ken! I bought some cheaper dremel stones early on and they deteriorated quickly and some of the tips broke off! then i got the diamond ones and liked them but i'm back to the oregon ones and save the mostly worn out ones for when the chain is mostly done! they get the gullet back enough to finish the chain! GNI !!

I've been Dremel sharpening my Chains for many years! I found it to be much faster and far more convenient than a hand file. I previously used one of several older model corded Dremels and generic mini-grinders. Then got a cordless Dremel 8220 w/ a backup Li-ion battery, so I've got plenty of power and run time w/o having to use or worry about a cord. I also found that although the cylindrical stone grinder bits worked okay, the diamond bits worked faster and lasted longer for about the same price.

G’morning Brothers. Good to see the expert using a dremel. Good time today ! Thanks ! GoodNightIrene

Hey guys just found your channel I purchased something like this a wee while ago not actually tried it yet but it came with an angle gauge for the Dremel seeing this video though be getting it out and giving it a shot. Great video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great stuff Chris Kenny 👏 👍 Thanks for sharing 👍

I used a similar tool made for saw chain back in the 70's, still have it and some stones; but prefer a file now. The grey Oregon tips are what came with it and what I purchased. I found the tips last longer, cut way cooler, and saw seemed sharper when I used thread cutting oil on the stone. Stinks a bit, I have to admit. I still have that plug in motor somewhere.

Good morning Chris and Kenny!!😀 I was always like Kenny and used a file to sharpen. But since I saw you using the Dremel I gave it a try and like it really well. I do still like to use a file for when it's not too dull. I don't have a cordless one yet so I have to keep my filing skills tuned for when I'm out in the woods. Take care my friends!!😀😀 Logger Al

I bought the 8220. no complaints.

Kenny & Chris good info, I didn’t know dremel made a 12v . I’m going to look into this, lm like ken and still hand file. Good videos, keep on cutting

It always gets me whenever I am at a saw shop and see all the chains they grind for people. How someone could cut wood and be dependent upon a saw shop to keep their chains sharp, is mind boggling to me. I have always felt a guy will be more careful also with dirt n stuff if he has to sharpen his own! 👍

Hello Chris and Kenny, it’s time for a good dose of ball busting Tony. We all miss him and his humour.

Got to love it when a kid drops a big rock down in a hollow and the tree grows around it. SURPRISE!!! Before I gave up the rock had a 1/4 inch trench in it. Lol

Nice video teaching an old hand new tricks. Need to see Kenny try his underhand technique for Dremel sharpening. Might be the cat’s meow.

I literally been looking for a electric sharpening tool for my saw this weekend, and all of a sudden y'all Pop up on U Tube. I was looking at the Dremel, but I thought it was a cheap tool, but now I might change my mind.

Yes you should be sponsored by dremel. I still hand file like Kenny but I see the benefits of the dremel. Well done👍🏻👍🏻🍻GNI

“We can’t just stand here playing with…” Our bits, tools, stones, selves, big bars… 😁 Cheers. 🇨🇦

Great video!

I love my Oregon 410-120 bench grinder for doing a bunch of chains in one sitting. Not nearly as fast as your Dremel but sure can get a lot of chains razor sharp if you know what you are doing.

I hand filed for years and I still carry a file and touch up, but I use a grinder now and swap out chains. Every faller I know has a grinder.

I have to check those out

I do the same its a real time saver... I'd slow down a bit on the rpms as it heats up the tooth and case hardens it... you can put a file to it and see if it skates over the tooth... not a big deal and it seems to make the chains last longer in the wood.

I enjoy filing with my dremel since you showed videos of how to do. Glad to see Kenny come over to the dremel side. How many sharpenings do you get out of one stone?? Have a Safe Day

That first saw Kenny sharpened looked like it got a little hot!

Chris, you should try the dremol on the other side of the blade. It looks like your spinning into the chain, hence 3 sharpenings.

Thank you for all of your content. I start your video right after the coffee!. Your zip-tie measuring device has saved me hours! Thank you! Stihl 500i, bought one last weekend, gamechanger. Just, WOW. Oregon chains, FYI, are garbage. That was lesson #1 after switching to Stihl.... I was shopping for a Husky 592 when I stumbled upon a 500. Husky is a dying franchise in central MN. Question I have is, where did Jerry get that long tong? I truly love watching the videos with you and Kenny! My kind of people!!!

I was just milling w Alaskan mill… had to do a unusual cut and put screws into the work…. I got one screw out… forgot the second and my chain was screwed! I’ll have some work to get it to cut again.

Dremmel is the only way to go, fast, works and great for taking down rakers too.

I am still learning how to hand file.. The neat thing with KZfaq is we can see other ways to do things..

Like the beaver pelts in the background

You and Tony got me hooked on the dremel. It’s just too easy. Why would we buy faster saws, faster splitters, big tractors with grapples all to be more efficient, and then hand file like a cave man? There is art to hand filing and it probably gets a chain sharper…but time is money. Bringin’ Kenny to the dark side 😂!

After going back and forth I find barbs and curled teeth. Going in one direction helps reduce barbs.

I just order the Milwaukee one because I have the m12 tools already. I like to hand file but on-site it definitely be easier to use one these. I also order 3 different kinds of diamond stones.

It works better if you turn the speed down, I use the pink ones, just add a little oil on the stone before you start.

Definitely lot faster. I used to use one the Oregon ones that you hook to car battery. Have heard anything about the m12 ones from Milwaukee? I got several m12 tools so was thinking that one. Is the wait difference between the 8v and 12v much? Keep up the good work guys.

Mud and rocks makes the saw chain people money! I recommend a carbide saw chain for the extra crappy dirty stuff you've been cutting. Might cut a little slower but it holds up a lot better in the garbage.

Amazing you got Kenny to give up that file and use a Dremel, wonder if he'll keep using it instead of a file

Chris I just used my diamond bits last night did two saws worked great, we will see how they cut? I hope straight?

Was cutting the ground/dirt for a good 20 seconds probably full throttle and didn’t realize it as I wasn’t used to this 28” bar I’ve been using and it broke all the teeth off the left side of the chain teeth and man it took forever and a day with my Stihl 2in1 sharpener. I hate to junk a nearly new chain so I put in some effort but man would have been nice to use an electric sharpener. The left side is probably 30% left vs the right at 60%. Oddly enough it still cuts straight down even in a 22”+ diameter log

A sharp tool of any type is not just easier to use, it is much safer because you know what to expect when the metal meets the work. I don't care if its a saw chain, knife or lawn mower blade and it really don't matter how you get it sharp as long as it is sharp. GNI

Hey Chris I tried this out a few weeks ago and my teeth on the edge started curling up am I getting too hot and filing too much off?

I like the Dremel but I did slow the speed down just a little so that I don’t heat up the tooth as much

Kenneth Carlson, DDS. We specialize in “Getting the Gullet!” Speaking of the original gullet getter…when you guys gonna try square filing the tooth? Or get the Stihl Hexa chain?

I cut into a rock , next day I dug it out and took it home and used it in a rock garden . Now every time I walk by it I get a laugh out of it . You can see the cut mark very clearly

You forgot to say goodnight Irene.

Why are you not using the diamond stones ??

Never a dull moment with you two! See what I did there?

Hello Chris, try taking your stones and dip them in windex about every 10 teeth or so that should cool the stone and make them last longer and lube also that should make it cut better and last longer....give that a try and let us know how this works

Who makes the best bits?

Why don 't you use full skip saw chains?

Back in the nineties I had a 266 Husky and all of the chains I could afford was what my logger friends gave me. You make do whit what you have. Lol

Great info vid guys - now go cut some wood to pay the bills eh! 💪😉

What happened to your EzzDoo You were saying it was the cat's meow?

🤘

Why not try a diamond burr bit in the Dremel. 8pc 7/32" Diamond Chainsaw Sharpener Burr Bit File 120 Grit Dremel Rotary Tool USD13.00 EBay

A file is the only way. However when carpal tunnel happens you must adapt.

👍

【from Hipa】The best parts for your equipments,do you like to test it?

😁👍

Dremmel every time here

The 12v Milwaukee rotary tool is much better than the Dremel because of all the battery options, and it's a stronger tool.

Are you a convert Ken?

Oh no Kenny, I'm having to take your Hero Status before the WoodHound Advisory Committee! I mean, come on brother, we Hand Filers gotta stick together! At great risk, I shall propose this question before my brethren. QQQHave you considered running semi-chisel chain when processing frozen, dirty logs? I'm not talking Green Safety chain, just commercial production chain with a rounded top-plate like what's used on a harvester. I find it to be a lot more forgiving, especially when I'm helping my father, an aging farmer who likes to pre-treat the bark with mud as he skids them with his farm tractor! Where the dirt is prevalent, I try to peel or chip away the bark where I plan to cut, however it's nearly impossible to get it all. Bless'ns to the both of ya's, Tedd

YOU GUYS EVER BEEN TESTED FOR [OCD] ????/

Can you hand file after you Drexel them or are they overheated and hardened and hard to hand sharpen? Man Kenny don't throw that chain out there's lots of tooth left. I'd get at least 20 more face cord out of that chain by hand sharpening. 😆 🤣

OK, this is the 5th video I watched and I think I have the basics down using a dremel and diamond grinder. But none of you guys take a saw out and show how good it cuts right after sharpening! In this video you could have taught the basics and left off the other two saws and you would have had plenty of time to show me how much better the saw cuts! I am disappointed that everyone wants to show the sharpening but no one wants to show the improvement.....bummer!

Morning Fellas, those are great tools, guess the loser is the one with the bright color scheme, a shame considering the company must have paid a fortune to some think-tank to come up with that fantastic brand name....take care, have fun cutting

See you can teach a old dog new tricks

Lmao... the weenie strikes again...ha

Hey have fun and tell couple joke in the wood yard ( ken) the big timber . Be kind , take your time think SAFETY in and around wood yard . SAFETY FIRST iiiii iiiii sick in Newfie . I’m HEADING out on big sea tmw , lobster season open for 60 days . Hey SAFETY all the way .
