The Still 2 in 1 tool is a GREAT time saver and a no brainer for sharpening! I've been using saws for 40+ years - best invention yet!

This is honestly the most straightforward sharpening how-to on KZfaq. Well done! Very helpful for me!

Never heard of the magnetic angle guide before, learn something new every day, thanks, great video.

Thanks so much for a great video. Very well explained.You know I've been cutting wood for 35 years and still learn something new everyday.Thanks again and I hope all is well

In filing a full chisel chain I learned the importance of keeping the leading point of the cutter needle sharp. When it starts to round inward it has lost its edge. It doesn't matter how sharp the cutter face is if that point is not there. If it gets really bad it is nearly imposable to get back because you want to quit filing before it is truly sharp. I often give it a couple strokes after each tank of gas just to keep it. Dirt in the bark is the biggest culprit. Good advise. Good video. Good job.

Thanks for such an informative video, until I watched it i wasn't aware of the 2 in 1. I bought one and it works a treat so thank you!

I refuse to use a dull chainsaw great vids keep them coming ❤❤❤❤❤

Helping keep saws happy and healthy the world round!! Nice work Felixia. The new oversized chain to easily communicate an otherwise tedious and vague process is genius. A few of my guys will be watching this tomorrow because for me, I do not have the time or patience to teach some of these very important procedures that are paramount to any successful industry professional. The passion, respect and knowledge that you convey on your channel is very much appreciated. Keep up the hard work! 😉

I never thought a beautiful woman would teach me how to sharpen my chainsaw!! thank you and keep up the good work, be safe.

All that knowledge and presented in a foreign language! Very impressive and very well done! You taught me a couple of things and I've been running saws for 51 years.

I'm new to using a chainsaw and bought the 2 in 1 sharpening tool when I got my Stihl. I've only used it to sharpen both at home and in the field. Takes 10 minutes or less and cuts like new! Great tool for us newbies

I am impressed with your 2nd language abilities. I have struggled to use German, so know the second language (and English has many oddities) can be tough. You do a good job.

Good info. Thanks for showing several diffrent filling tools to use for getting the correct angle.

Doesn't matter how many strokes you take on each cutter, what matters is the proper adjustment filing of the rakers after you get all the cutters sharp. Bucking Billy Ray proves that in one of his sharpening videos.

Thank you. Excellent presentation. Easy to watch, easy to listen to, and very informative.

This I see a great tutorial well explained with the help of the large chain models. I feel a lot more confident in my sharpening abilities now. Thank you.

A great instructional videp, thank you. Just had this happen, because my rakers / depth gages had to be re-profiled: After using the 2-in-1 sharpener a few times, I could no longer bore cut; the bar would jump out of the kerf. The rakers had become flat on top, and I had to round them off to the original profile. Now, it bore cuts like new.

Very well put across great info , easy to understand, ive learnt plenty , thank you 👍👍

Some info you have shared was great! There was some information that was leaving me with the feeling of confusion. Now there is a very small handful of people who have put out great how to sharpen videos. It is no easy task to take on. I'll give you that. I like the enlarged chain for teaching. I have not seen that before, well done on that new way to demonstrate. Sharpening takes much practice to master. There are many that believe it's something that can not be taught on a video but must be passed down by mentors. There are masters of filing that can teach this ART. There are people that are not.

Thanks for posting another great video! I just ordered that magnetic file guide! Great idea 💡

Very good info. A lot of good techniques in it. Thanks for the table with the pitch.

Nice video. I like that you had the large chain to show everything, so we could see t. Thank you!

Great information for a lot of people I normally use a over size file for the first 4 or 5 sharpenings great video thanks for sharing

Get the gullet as Buckin Billy Ray says👍👍

I had to order the magnetic filing plate, learn something every day! Great video, thanks. Aloha from Maui

Excellent video. Thank you for the great explanation.

Great point about having the chain tight when filing...respect!

I have finally switched to using the new Stihl file aggregate with handle for both rider and chisel after using freehand filing since about 1975. I think it gives a suitable chain aggression to an old man and is also the absolut fastest way and sharpen the chain on. Better late than never. Happy New Year 2021.

I love the 2in1. I'm not a pro by any means but my job requires me to cut a lot of downed wood. I struggled for years getting anything close to out of the box sharp with various sharpening devices. 2in1 has changed my life lol.

Biggest advantage of 2 in 1 is that is also does the depth gages , i use it all the time

That's for sure you have to have a feel for sharpening the chain. I wish you a good week. You filmed in a beautiful way. Michel

great video, I even learned something and I have been using a saw for a decade.

Great informative clip. I bought the 3 n 1 tool. Works great. Have a great week...

Nice video, there is a green link on the Stihl chain that helps keeping track if you start filing there. Also I adjust the depth gauges depending on if I’m cutting soft or hard wood. Too much off in the hard wood makes it chatter and vibrate sometimes. Keep up the good work.

Coloring the cutting surfaces on the chain cutters is an excellent idea! I've struggled with determining visually if a cutter is properly sharpened during the filing process, due to the small size of the cutting surfaces, & poor light on the cutting surfaces (even sunlight doesn't illuminate the surfaces very well, as the chain cutter top plate "shelters" the cutting surfaces from sunlight), so it is difficult for me to see these critical areas of the chain cutters. I'll try coloring the chain cutting surfaces next time. Great idea!

Great video. Really enjoy the bloopers 😂😂😂😂.Take care and have a blessed week. And I hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Great video,I like that magnetic guide.I think it would be good for catching all the filings and keeping the work area cleaner.

BEST how to video on yt for chain sharpening👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

Thanks Felixia ! Very informative! Very understandable 👊🏾

A thorough and superb demonstration of the components of the chain (absolutely loved the larger than life chain for learning) and how to maintain its longevity. Only just stumbled across your channel, love your content and subscribed👌 Keep up the good work 👍🏻

A lot of great advice here. Thank you!

Great video and really cool big chain 😁👍

Thank you for the video! Easy to follow for a noob like me.

Sehr gut erklärt! ! Werden alle sehr wichtigen Sachen angesprochen und gezeigt! ! Weiter so! !

Don’t wanna bust your bubble or sound as if I’m any better but if your chain is sharp and rakers are even you can have teeth to the replacement line and teeth that are full length and it will cut no different than teeth all at same length! But you do explain well and I have nothing but respect... chest bump salute!! Keep on keeping on!! I’m sure your an inspiration to all the other females out there.... I’d go buckin with you anytime!!

Man, did I Learn Something, Absolutely YES ‼‼‼ Great Info there Beautiful, I even went to my Garage and retrieved one of my Spare Chains to find the Number on the Drive Link and Cutter. I may have been using the WRONG FILE😠😠😠. Yepper I was Wrong All these Years , H80 Chain 25 degrees Angle , 7/32" or 5,5 mm File, instead of 30 degrees and 5/32 File I been using. Normally I have them Professionally Sharpened, This ONE Reason I watch you Videos, To Learn from the PROFESSIONAL who do this for a Living👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾‼‼‼ The Other reason is your Extreme Beauty and that Accent which I Love to HERE. Thank You and Keep Us Wanna Be Lumberjacks Informed. Much Love❤, Always Stay Safe and Blessed🙏🏾 ❣❣❣ ❤❤❤ The Visuals Samples ‼‼‼

Thanks a lot for the information in particularly tightening the chain saw a little more while filling 9:00

I always heard about the Stihl 2 in 1 file, but you were the first to explain that it sharpens the tooth and raker at the same time. Another thing that is important is if you are running Stihl Rapid Super full chisel chain is you have to have all of the points there and sharp. I had problems with saws cutting crooked and some of the tips were damaged, or not sharpened enough. If you are not afraid to touch them they are not sharp enough. 😂

New to this, what a great explanation, thankyou

Fantastic explanation, thank you 😀

Hi Felixia. I think that this is more of a manufacturer recommended filing process. Red Man here, is recommending Buckin Billy Ray. What Buckin would say, besides Be Kind, would be to have the experience for yourself. There are several sharpening myths out there, like maintaining the cutter length all the same and taking the same number of strokes. Buckin has done many videos on the subject of sharpening, and some where he’ll do what seems to be crazy things like filing all the teeth on one side short, while the other side are long. What I’ve learned from watching his fun antics, is that what really matters is this: The size of each cutter doesn’t matter, as long as you have filed its depth gage / raker accordingly. You also need to maintain the original profile of the side plate, the ‘C’ aka “Get the Gullet”. So, it boils down to this. Get the gullet, make the tooth sharp, don’t forget your working corner, and hit your rakers with a raker gauge. It’s really just that simple. There are also other things like flipping the bar for even wear, and dressing it up every now and then. When you think about it, it’s a lot of work to keep the cutters all at the same length. Just hit a nail, or a rock, and there go several cutting teeth. That’s really what the raker gauge is for, all you need to do is get them back in shape, and reset that depth of cut with the gauge. Please go watch some of his sharpening videos. I promise you’ll find them very knowledgeable and informative.

love the bloopers great info ..

thanks for putting up this video. I am getting a lot of dust after sharping. Now I know why

Great video Felixia one of the best I've seen, very thorough and professional! Knew you were one tough lady but dang girl what kind of saw are you running that giant chain on! Lol! Keep up the great work the treeple love the job you're doing 👍👍💪💪😁❤️!

Really nice explanation and all in detail,we all can learn so many things from you,I subscribed to see more off your videos.Thanks Felixia,stay safe :)

Great instructional video!

G'day FLJ, very informative thank you , I find that most people have a dominant hand which is able to sharpen one side more easily than the other to compensate for that I like to give a couple of more strokes on the non dominant side. Looks cold outside there stay safe and I hope you have a merry Christmas 👍🇦🇺.

Great video: useful and informative.Sköl.

That was a fairly good explanation of how to sharpen your saw. One thing you left out is if you are going to give each tooth the same amount of strokes. You should always start sharpening the dullest side first. That way you know how many extra strokes to take after the less dull side is sharp. Take care and stay safe my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

I have watched several of your videos, and for some reason, never subscribed. That was not a good decision on my part lol! Just hit the subscribed button now. you are an excellent instructor! Thank you for the good information. 💪👍🪓

Good video. I watch all of them

Cool video you did a good job

Great tutorial thank you.

Great video ! 👍

It's still tricky, but thank you for the explanation And the tips.

Using the combination file (that does the teeth and the rakers together) I feel that the tool is calibrated to take slightly too much off the rakers so the blade is more aggressive than it should be. And as I mentioned yesterday, you are smart and adorable. (smile!)

Hi merry Christmas from Scotland

Thanks for the informative video!

Thank you, perfect. Good work.

I love your channel and your videos. Wish I’d watched this a month ago... :)

2 in 1 lives on my truck dashboard, love it

Especially on longer bars I use Stihl FG3 filing tool. Filed free hand for years, but never get as consistent results as with the FG3 and that really shows on cutting performance!👍😎 Greetings from Finland.🇫🇮🌲

The world needs more women like you girl 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Great video. Do you have any videos of you adjusting the carb on Stihl chainsaws?

Nice video.

Very good information!!!!!!

Thanks for video, greets from Belguim 🙏😇🍀🍀🍀Namaste

You suggested leaving the hook on the tooth so that it can grab the fibers in protection chaps or pants, does it serve any other purpose? What if the chain doesn't have the hook anymore? Does it cut more aggressively...such as a skip tooth?

Thank you for the info !

Awesome...good information....keep the videos coming.....would like to see you actually sharpen the saw in a vice. That would be too cool. Thanks!

Fabulous, takk!

So tell me do you use 30° top plate angle and 60° top plate cutting angle when falling big trees.

hi another great video i was just wondering where did you get your chain models from as I would love to get some

It's a good thing to mention the number on the link. I didn't know what it kind of information it was. Is the number code also on Oregon and Husqvarna chains?

The content is just as the title reads... hunnh....👍👊🌳💚🌳👊👍

hi from scotland have you tried carbite chain on your chain saws and what do you think about it .i have tried and did like it

Question chainsaw size. Personal use. About 14 cords a year. I've got a 362 now 20" bar. But thinking of upgrading to a 462 ... whats your thoughts. Mix of oak ash walnut maple. Or should I go to the 500i or stay with the 362

Muchas Gracias por tu video, es muy practico.

Merry Christmas Felixia.

Tack, bra instruktioner

I have an electric bench grinder manufactured by Oregon. I can’t find the specs for my Stihl chain in the manual. Basically the manual gives settings for the Oregon replacement chains, and they do not make replacement chains for Stihl. At least I can’t find any near me. Have you used a bench grinder and what settings do you use for the Stihl chains?

Great Video and a very great Chanel 👍😅

+Femalelumberjack Hi Felixia, Is the file suppose to slowly turn during filing or fixed so it does not rotate? Ours has 1 rotating and the other side doesn't. I think it has to do with the spiral cut on the file cut only contacts on an angle in sharpening on one side causing it to turn and perpendicular from other side so can't rotate turn. but that does my head in.

Nice video

Красивый видео, спасибо!! 👍👍👍

Love the videos. Wondering if you have any experience with square files and if you do if you can do a video on that specific type of sharpening.

Good balanced vid . Fola

Am new at sharpening my chainsaw it seems like it doesn’t last long, I tried to watch your video, an got really confused, how many strokes should I do to keep my chain sharp

Good morning how r u this morning great video very helpful i hope u have a good day x

Do you like using that 2 in 1 tool or do you prefer dealing with the teeth and the guides separately?
