Thanks for a great video, I started to file square grind and really enjoy the cut . Just reaching out for FYI, most of my cutting involves hardwoods. My experience with this sharpening is less touch-ups needed between cutting periods as opposed to round filing, better chips and smoother running saw!! Thanks again for the " good 'ol boy" talk video Ont. Can.
Yank Doodle, thanks for you knowledge, time and effort. Its people Like you and Billy that change peoples lives ... I was out on a big tree today with my 880 ... just a 30 inch bar and the chips coming off that saw following your square filing info was impressive. Time and effort saved. Theres a beer in Wanaka New Zealand if you ever come down this way. much appreciated
Between you and Bucking giving awesome insite on this filing , I think I will give it a try on a used chain. Nothin to loose. That stump vice is just like one I saw at Buckingstock! Good ideal
Howdy Yank, just watched your video on square filing. Reckon I am going to buy a vallorbe file and give it a go. Thanks for the education! Enjoy the Day! ;~)
Hey buddy I’m a new subscriber from Alabama . You do an excellent job explaining and showing square filing. Been wanting to try this for a while. Absolutely love the golf ball idea and the screw on the stump vise too . Anyway I’m looking forward to seeing more from your videos have a great Sunday friend!!!!!
Great job at square filing!.. I have never done it before. I will get some of those files. I thought I seen other guys file in the same direction as a round file. Nice videos!..
Thanks for the video and the golf ball idea,,,genius! I got in the habit of stroking from behind the point as opposed to towards it because I felt it 'guided' my stroke better, but I will give your way a try. Thanks.
Awesome video!! Looking foreward to giving this a try. Wont be doin any cutting for a bit till the weather warms up just a bit so i have a little time to get some files and work through a few chains cuz im sure its gonna take a bit to get right. Thanls!! STAY SAFE!!!
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 You're welcome. I couldn't make out the name of the maker of the file you were using for the square grind. Where can I find them? Stihl has them for 100 dollars a pop but that seems like more than I need to begin with.
Silky Steve are you talking a 100 bucks a box ? These are Vallorbe files and I pay $110.00 a box of a dozen. But you could just buy them individually for now I haven’t seen the Stihl ones yet
Very informative. Thankyou for a great lesson in square cut filing This is all new to me but I've seen sawing with this cut and it is faster and the edge lasts longer
I think I have the same info from Oregon regarding race chain. I run the rakers at .025” and use a “goofy” file. I use the easy to remember 45*~45*~45. It’s not perfect but very close. I tend to think the factory angles are quite good. The tooth don’t feel sharp but it cuts fast compared to round chain.
I cut fire wood in the hi desert,. Chain for me last 20-30 minutes. Then I gotta change it out. The sand wears everything out very quickly. The sand is embedded in the cedar bark. If you cut in the dark, you see a steady stream of sand shaped sparks coming out with the chips. The wood is so small you can't clean each cut. And, be so small of trees they are nearly all saw work.
Vallorbe files are very good files! IMO they are the best out there, followed by Pferd. Thanks for the good video Mr Yank! I need to get me a square ground chain and give it a shot. We have mostly Locust and Elm out here, so if you use it on your hardwoods, I shouldn't have any issue. Have a great weekend!
You did a very nice job I've been studying it for a long time how they do it right and you did just as good as explanatory job has anybody that knows what weather doing show the other person
I do residential some little clearing jobs no major both all the time mostly residential I'll never get it but you got it going on that looks good could I mail you my chains 24 full rap just like yours to chain not well you know the size of the bar or some job beautiful work I was serious been doing it fairly long time but I can hold a pretty good edge a long time but your stuff looks right no doubt about it buddy all respect
Great vid. After watching your video I'm definitely going to try to put a square grind on a chain. Thanks for reaching out to me during Buckin's livestream. This is solely for interest sake for me. I cut about 20-24 cords of white poplar annually for firewood with a stock stihl 362 (carb version) 20" bar. Do you think I should try with a full or skip chain?
No problem I'm glad to meet you ! I started this because I was tired of cutting the hard way with round file ! Anytime you have questions just let me know and I'll give you my number !!
Good work buddy And I’ve tested with gullet out and gullet left Clean gullets took 3 seconds off the cut I run round file myself here in Maine there’s so much rock in the bark square dulls a tad faster
Great demo. When square filing, does that get the rakers to correct height at same time you sharpen? As an amateur, I’m likely going to stick with round filing to sharpen and flat file for the rakers, at least for now. It’s easy and good enough for my purposes, but still I enjoyed your demo.
Those chisel bit files are hard to find. Vallorbe and Pferd are the ONLY brands I've found but mail order only. I'm ordering one to sharpen my chains. Round filing them lasts one day at the most.
Gunner01 I just get regular chain now but in the past I have bought 1roll of square ground chain but the extra money for square ground isn’t worth it to me It might be helpful for someone that’s just starting though
Hey brother where have you been last time I seen your at Bell hoppers you haven't made a video in a while ..hope all is well. From the Michigan border just looking out for you
Jonathan Harsch They’re not listed as vallorbe files But you put in the search bar “ vallorbe chisel bit square file “.and there’s one listing that says these are vallorbe files in the fine print Because of importing issues they are a little hard to get
What about time difference is it faster? It definitely looks cool I want to learn just because of that reason I don't see myself why it would dull faster the edges don't look any thinner but I haven't seen one in the real world just TH-cam world I can't read the file can you put up a link or brand
Tom Bennett sorry I didn’t answer that part of the question. I would say for the most part square will take longer for a new guy For me it’s about the same.
Where do you purchase them? Can you send a link? Do you only use this flat-ish file with six sides or do you use the triangle files, too? I think, IMHO, that file seems to be the easiest to position. Thank you for the link.
I can't find this exact file in America anymore for the last couple years. I hear there's a single sided version available in the states but I haven't used them. I've upgraded and bought a Simington 451C square grinder now
Those files, or the ones that you can get today are quite expensive, do they last longer than a round file? What's nice is that you only need one file for both raker and tooth with this style of grind. And that was a very calm patient explanation, great video.
I do appreciate that ! I would say for me these lasted longer than a round file . But there's definitely a lot more care put into this to make it efficient. Unfortunately they don't make this brand anymore . I ended up getting a Simington 451C square grinder !
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 Appreciate the honesty. Ya if it's your livelihood then there is no shame in that. Filing can be a job in of itself, I don't blame you.
@@ravenshield7823 there's other brands of this type of file available, these were the best I could find . I think they still make this brand but only one sided .
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 Yup, it's just a matter of time before I put a chain on and go at it, There is such a mix of stuff around here that I started using semi chisel, it just holds up so much better and takes a hit with way less consequence. Although it kind of sucks at bore cutting and is a bit slower but not enough to justify all it's benefits, I haven't even cared about full chisel, but if I'm going to use it on some cleaner wood, I'd like to give this a try. I'm just trying to get the best handle on how it needs to be before I go to town on a perfectly fine chain is all. I'm just cutting firewood for myself and some family while maintaining some property, so it's a hobby/ passion of mine but I like to know my craft as well. I love cutting, but it's not always what I get to do.
@@ravenshield7823 you're right semi chisel does abuse without as much consequence I actually use to cut up logs on the yard as they normally have some dirt on the them
Files are 2x expensive as round files? No, everywhere they are $12, etc. Is this what I really have to pay for double bevel files? Or, three square? Maybe you know of a good source. Thanks.
Just picked up my first square chain and file. .404 oregon 68cj and a prferd double bevel 7" file. Nice vid tutorial, can tell yer demeanor i think id like to work along side of you.. nice to get vids without all the cussin that i can watch around family and kids. Gona get me some golf balls from the park near home this week.
Good job looks good been chisel filing for 40 years, and grinding only way to go...I hear people saying it dulls quickly and not good in hardwood...I think that bunk... I think its cuts better if you know how to correctly...looks to me like you got it, great video...Shoe in SW Oregon...
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 yes those swiss files are great my favorite are oberg...made in Portugal of all place sold by Sanvik...I still have a few boxes of them haven't purchased any in years...was told that there not made any more...have triangle files too...most are vanilla files there okay...perfer the flat type files like you use. Seen another one of your videos using a chopped up 372...sounded good, your said that you run 390 and 395...that what I use...and some Stihls too...461, 661...waiting for there new i500...hopefully it not a flop-dog like the 441....guess that why they tested it for two years in Europe before releasing it here...all the best.Shoe...ps love the golf ball handle, going to try that myself.
Unfortunately they're almost impossible to get anymore! "This particular brand". There's a few other brands available though, like Pferd, Save Edge, etc. Try Madsens Logging Supply in Centralia, Washington
I don't cut work any more. 10-15 years ago guy from searsmont, Maine, Adams. Fixed my saw and then took a round saw file like you buy for your saw and shaping it. I cut 5 cord for winter and most times thats it. I cut 20 cord and the wood for a wood shed 6x6,4x6,2x2 20 foot long 10 foot wide and whatever else I need and didn't put a file to the saw for 4 years.
@@caterpillar1693 yeah I didn't realize how much I would use one till I got it ! That muffler is the same concept that Harvey has it just don't stick out past the front of the saw !
Hey Yank if you would be so kind as to email me id like to show you a couple things. Youll be a kick out of it and hey guess what jokes on me. My email is Caterpillar1693@gmail.com i look forwardbto hearing from you. Thank you
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 well what kind of file is it? I've never really seen one up close and when you tried to zoom in with the camera it did not focus at all. Is it a hexagon, triangular, double bevel or Goofy file? Do any of these sound familiar?

Welcome brother
when you file the gullet out do you file in the same direction or does it matter?
I just file the gullet from the inside
where do you order & how much for that vallorbe file ? i ordered a vallorbe kit but flat file was not rounded on side.
jim ball I was gettin mine on eBay but they’re not available right now I give $110.00 for a dozen of these files

Yank what file size are you using?
I don't know what the size on these it's a chisel bit square file 12" long
Ciao, da quale sito web posso ordinare queste lime vallorbe?
I don't cut work any more. 10-15 years ago guy from searsmont, Maine, Adams. Fixed my saw and then took a round saw file like you buy for your saw and shaping it. I cut 5 cord for winter and most times thats it. I cut 20 cord and the wood for a wood shed 6x6,4x6,2x2 20 foot long 10 foot wide and whatever else I need and didn't put a file to the saw for 4 years.
Madsens, the pros choice
Yeah I talked to them several times !!!
how do you get the file to stay in the ball?
I just drill a small hole and then tap the ball on it !!
I would have to bet that it will dull quickly with that angle on the top plate
From my experience I think it cuts better longer but yes dirty wood will dull it anyway
I never ran a full wrap handle i lno its on you saw so this mYbe stupid to ask but are thwy worth buying
Yes they're definitely worth buying !!
Good enough for me thank you. . I saw that square muffler you have. Man that thing looks good slightly differnt than Harveys. I like it
@@caterpillar1693 yeah I didn't realize how much I would use one till I got it ! That muffler is the same concept that Harvey has it just don't stick out past the front of the saw !
You guys are awesome i love it thank you so much

Let that bad boy Rip
Please post the exact part number of that file. Vallorbe sells many different files.
Sorry I don't have that.
@@yankdoodlediesel2574 well what kind of file is it? I've never really seen one up close and when you tried to zoom in with the camera it did not focus at all. Is it a hexagon, triangular, double bevel or Goofy file? Do any of these sound familiar?
What benefits of this sharpening?
Fast cuts?
Faster , smoother , less power needed just more efficient all around !
