Why not do every depth gauge in one pass? With them you're not having different angles. FWIW, the tool works on normal full comp chain, but not on skip tooth.
Your chain tension looks a little tight, and you're putting WAY too much muscle into the sharpening stroke, and as a result removing too much material from the cutters. Let the file do the work, and you'll find your chains and files will last longer. Other than that, a great basic video for beginners.
I have never in my life counted the strokes while filing a chain. Every tooth is different and will not have the same wear and will require more than others.
@@kalu19991 lol I cut tractor trailer loads of wood by hand with chain saws. Believe me you do not need to have the teeth equal length. You need to have each individual raker set to the height of each tooth. It cuts straight
@@kalu19991 I don't know who teaches this nonsense anymore, but it's a recipe for a short lived chain. I used to do it because some old feller told me. I used to go through chains like crazy. Then I found another old feller on TH-cam who taught how to do it properly, now I just file every tooth as needed and my chains last 3X as long. Don't count strokes. Don't file teeth to the length of the shortest tooth. File each tooth as needed and use the depth gauge.
@@wiredforstereo we cut beech firewood to 24cm, 32cm and 49cm, split the wood and place it in pallets. The cuts need to be parallel in order for pieces to be within a reasonable lenght tolerance. If the chain isnt fairly evenly sharpened then it pulls the cut to one side. If you just do felling of the tree, you dont care that much.
Neverbin my life did I think to flip the saw upside down instead of turning it around. Makes it much easier.
The best explanation of how to sharpen the rake with no words 👍🏻Thankyou, subscribed
Don't worry about using the same number of file strokes on each tooth file each tooth until it forms a burr and that burr drops off then it's sharp.
Thank you! Simple and to the point!
Great guide, thank you for this!
thanks i wander depth gauge use and i got it

Good tutorial. Invest in a decent vice LOL.

don,t bother with the hardwood setting on these depth guages go straight to the softwood setting

Correct. That’s what the depth gauge is for. I cringe when I hear people to count the strokes.

Omg you two are so wrong. You need to file the chain to the size of the smallest teeth. That way they are all equal.

You call that sharpening? that's a joke.
