That’s interesting that you follow the tooth length. I hand sharpen 3 or 4 times, then I go to the grinder specifically to true up the chain again. I find the a Short tooth set to that one, then grind everything to match. Its time consuming on the long teeth you have to go slow, but it’s nice in the end.

I've been grinding chains longer than I e been filing (in Missouri it's not if but when you hit a rock) and I've found mounting the grinder to a 2x4 is a great way to set up so can mount into a bench vise and then you don't have to commit to the bench space permanently.

I hand file some times on my bigger saw and grind more often on the little stuff. I find that whether you’re running a grinder, or hand filing with a normal round file, you are trying to achieve the same look of the tooth. It is possible to achieve a very similar looking tooth with a grinder. On my Oregon 510-A, the 70° on the back angle does not get under the tooth well enough and one ends up with the “ski jump”. Once I learned what a proper hand file was supposed to look like, I replicated the look of the tooth by playing with the angles. Also the key to running a grinder is keeping the chains out of the dirt. When you’re just cutting wood and not rocks etc, it is extremely fast to throw the chain on the grinder and touch it up. It is also extremely fast to hit the rakers with the grinder as well. If you run chains in the dirt and the teeth are all different lengths, it makes the grinder a hassle. All in all, a guy can get a really nice cutting chain out of a grinder if he knows how to run it. Much like files too, it helps greatly to run the grinder wheels in a bigger size. Run the 3/8 wheel for the .325 stuff snd the .404 wheel on the 3/8 stuff. Great vid Edit: another perk of the grinder is it keeps all the angles bang on. It also kind of motivates me to clean and maintenance the bar and clutch area instead of keeping the saw barred up.

Hi, my understanding, 3.2 mm wheel for 1/4", 0.325", 3/8" LP. 4.7 mm for 3/8" regular & 0.404". 6.0 mm for 7/16", 1/2" & harvester chain, also often used for adjusting the depth gauges. Am I correct in thinking that most modern chain, the height of the cutters is lower than 70's & 80's ?

I learned by trial and error that you can take off a lot of material real fast! Turning the teeth blue is also quick and painless. I usually sharpen three chains in the evening and then take them with me to the woods. When one gets dull I just swap them out. Hand filing might get sharper teeth but its not that critical for me. I'm just out to enjoy being in the woods.

Rewatched this video, as I went back to the grinder for round 2. I used to wake up in the morning with coffee, after cutting the previous day, and hand file whatever needed touching up. It was my zen happy place (like 25 years worth ... heh heh). Now, I'm getting a little older and my eyes strain a little, and my fingers and wrists are getting a little stiffer, carpel tunnel, and arthritis, and I have to take breaks hand filing. So, I got the grinder back out Saturday morning, and figured out how to get a nice fast grind. I did a bunch of chains, and did some test cuts, and they work good, and spit out nice big chips. And, my hands don't hurt running the grinder. So, I guess I'm switching sides, back to the grinder. I agree with others, dress the wheel often, at least once when flipping sides, clean the tooth a little if it is oily, and work slow. And, sometimes a 2nd time around, taking very little material and really watching the grind makes some great cutting teeth.

that was a great look into hand and machine filing. my grandfather taught me years ago, that if you are good with the files by eye and feel, it is faster than the machine. The biggest reason is chain removal/reinstall. we would blow out our saws at the end of the day at the shop and hand file in the woods. I still do it.

I was gifted one similar to your grinder. Spring that holds head up is broken. Need to get a new one & get it installed. Her brother used to grab my freshly filled saw and returned it every time looking like his goal was to destroy the chain. He usually succeeded. Bought a $30.00 HF that returns them back to service quickly with minimal work. There’s enough slop in the pivot that if you need a little more, push it a little laterally. If the tooth is a wee bit long, pull a wee bit. With the price of good files being what it is, and a klutzy bro-in law, perfoict! Now I hide the good ones and leave the gruntless small saws in plain sight! Plus he moved to Florida for the winter! Win Win!!

I decided I wanted a timberline sharpener last year because it makes every tooth the same length. As you pull it through there are two holes for the rotary file so there is no turning anything. Every two tanks of gas and a few minutes with that to dress a chain and it cuts as good and in my opinion better than factory. Of course after the first sharpening I might take a file and give each raker a pass or two but it takes less than 5 min to sharpen a chain. I personally love it because I know what to expect every time and I know it will cut great every time. Might not be the fastest cutting chain but the repeatability is there

@edwatson1991 Жыл бұрын

I use one of these all the time, got mine through Logosol. I bring several chains with me on cutting jobs as well as several saws. I sharpened saws on stumps and on the back of a pickup much more than I have ground chains. It is tough to get right and it does take longer but for milling I need the accurate angles which I couldn't get right by hand. I started using it for cross cutting just to try it I am getting the hang of it but there are times when the chain just isn't right and it comes off right away. I prefer to take a swipe of each tooth and after I make one rotation I take a bit more off to keep everything coming down at the same rate. I really like it for doing the rakers, just set the depth and away you go.

I hand file all my saws. It takes practice but once you get it you can just feel when that tooth is sharp. Grinding could be beneficial for sure if you really wack a tooth or two, to bring it back in line. To each their own, is my moto. As long as it's sharp. Chains are cheap versus replacing your saw due to a dull chain. Nice to see it in practical application, never saw someone grind a chain before.

I have a fleet of 7 saws, each one with a purpose. Have hand filed for 30 years. Five years ago I discovered the Timberline Sharpening system. Have introduced to so many other cutters that each one will never sharpen with a file or grinder again. This system uses a tungsten carbide cutter, just like you would see in a high tech machine shop. Every tooth is sharpened identically the same. Bonus, you get twice the life out your chain.

@LordEzequiel Жыл бұрын

Greeting , I have the same / newer version of this Oregon chain grinder and I disagree with your manner you use it. A grinder like that is intended to rectify a chain who are un balanced with some or many tooth who are used in different degree with time . A chain with more shorter tooth in left side than right side will have tendencies to curve cut. Adjusting de grind amount depending on metal left on some tooth isn’t supposed tu be use like that . A chain grinder is intended to rectify all tooth to be the same , angle , depth and height from all left to all right . After that , all rackers, / depth guide . Like that you have, after all , a perfect chain just used at % capacity.

I run 35/55 on semi chisel chains, rakers typically about 030. 30/55 on full chisel. What people dont tell you is to get a solid edge with a grinder you have to put just as much effort into the grind. Contrary to what many say I get good life out of my chains. I'm also meticulous and patient. If you are doing it right it should not really be faster than a hand file job. I'm also really starting to like the resinoid wheels. Pay attention to how you are putting pressure on the handle. If you are more "down" you'll move the wheels away from the tooth a few thou. If you are in plane its closer. Use that to your advantage. I also worked my oregon over to take out slop in the stop. Dress your wheels OFTEN and keep the shape round. Once you get some practice you can play with the radius a little. The cutting geometry of the tooth is the important part. Every thing you do should revolve around achieving that.

Tim, love your videos and have learned a lot, but let me give you some tips, coming from a guy that’s been running a grinder for 20 years and learned from a guy that used one for 35. First off, let’s talk about your angles. I don’t know where you got 70 degrees at, but I’ve never seen that. 55 is the golden standard for all standard saw chains. For 3/8 and .325 the top plate angle is 25 degrees for full chisel chain and 35 degrees for semi chisel. For 3/8LP the top plate is 30 degrees no matter what type of chain. Forget looking up the angles for every chain type and go with those numbers and you will get good sharp chains. Tip number 2. You are using a 1/8” wheel. Only use that on 3/8lp or if you are hitting the rakers when coming down. For 3/8 and .325 you will almost always use a 3/16 grinding wheel. Tip 3. You don’t need to adjust the grinder to each tooth. Find the shortest one, or the most damaged and adjust the grinder to it, and grind all the teeth on that side. ALSO. always grind the teeth on the right side of the chain (base turned to the left) first so you don’t make the left side shorter. Much easier to adjust the grinder to the left side then the right side. You can grind much faster then you are. Correct, you don’t want to get the teeth hot, but if you keep the grinder wheel dressed you won’t. Keep the wheel dressed, apply pressure in 3 short burst, let off and then 3 short burst, continue till you bottom out. And lastly. You are using your base tilt backwards. Always tilt the tooth into the cutter. I hope this helps. Properly set up that grinder should sharpen chain way essays, especially if you are doing the rakers with it as well.

Most of those grinders have some slack in the pivots, so it is possible to edge the stone over a millimetre or so sideways, to get the right amount of grind on the tooth. I have also tried to set it up for Square Ground chain, but the machine will not angle far enough.

I have an Oregon knock off and vastly prefer it to a file. If I don't hit a nail or a rock I can get an easy 10 to 15 sharpening. I only sharpen when the cutting slows and the % of my chips get smaller. I see a definite correlation between finer chips & increased cutting effort on my part. In western Oregon, I get a lot of practice.

@bennyblanko3 Жыл бұрын

I concur with everything you said ... and could see from the grind it wasn't going to be cutting too hot. I haven't messed with the grinder much, but my limited results are similar to yours. Hand files are way faster. But I have friends who swear by the grinder - so I'm not giving up yet, especially on a super screwed up chain that would take a long time to bring back by hand filing. I wonder if one of those cbn wheels, or a good wheel dressing would help? I also guarantee that a simington or similar square grinder will make you a faster smoother chain than hand files. But, they are expensive and sometimes hard to come by. So far, hand filing round wins for me.

I hardly ever hand file anymore. I run a grinder. wish I had a square grinder, but I have one like the Oregon. I have some extra chain if I hit something bad so I don't care about field filing. So this way I have all my teeth ground the same and don't waste time adjusting for different tooth size. At this point in life I worry more about saving myself some time. If I have to replace a chain sooner than if I was hand filing, so be it, but, I have saved myself the time of hand filing. Also, if I am in a hurry or I'm tired, I don't end up with a bad file job. Grinding is accurate every tooth as long as you setup right. And if you only run the same size chain on all your saws, you only have one setup, it never changes. I have 2, but, no big deal to change.

Whatever your sharpening tool of choice, learn it and you will get great edges and good chain life.

Это вечные споры о заточке цепей напильником или станком. Каждому своё, кому что нравится, главное не оскорблять других людей. Я заметил, что у вас камень стачивает угол соединительного звена. Камень стоит не по центру. У меня также. Купил станок Rezer. Выставил углы и глубину на новой цепи. Затачиваю и тоже срезает угол звена. Я сделал полностью новое основание с пазом, чтобы сдвигать цепь, как у Stihl и некоторых моделей Oregon. Также сделал регулируемую стойку, как у Oregon. Теперь нагибаться не надо и можно точить где угодно, мне нравится на балконе.
