#chainsawsharpening
Not only was Taylor animated about the bark ripping monster you sharpened, he picked up the saw after you sat it down and he cut a couple of rounds with it himself. The slow mo video I took doesn't do the sharpening job any justice. The saw sort of " fell through" the wood like it had no resistance. The 400 with the bark box was a mean machine.....
This guy 👆🏻 was there that night also. Good times man!
I use to sit and want grandpa, Booker T Russell, sharpen chainsaws, skill saw blades, etc… all the farmers in the Mississippi Delta would bring their plows in the winter for him to sharpen (blacksmith) he was a master at sharpening anything with a edge. Drew,Mississippi 🙏🏻🇺🇸💯🤙🏻
Thanks Tim. I really appreciate the video. Very informative for a new saw owner. Just picked up a 400. :)
When I started tree work 40 plus years ago , I used a file guide but now days I don’t even have one,but I do have some cut off tree limbs make perfect handles for your file, sharp chain makes happy worker.
Great instructions....I been filing saws 50 years ....never too old to learn
What all do u use to file ur saws? I like hearing what others use and how they do it.
@@cotontop3 I just had free hand file....but have got a raker gauge in last few years......I was impressed with you filing sides of rakers.....I'm gonna try it
@@cotontop3 .....my dad used too boast ....my boy could run a saw when he learned too walk....ha
Thank you, Tim! As a new saw owner, I was looking for a comprehensive explanation of the best way to sharpen the chain and you just answered all of my questions in a thorough manner.
You could have a good side hustle around here just sharpening chains. I dont think anybody around here local does it anymore. I am stihl trying to learn how to sharpen a chain. I am getting better and videos like this are a huge help. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. This kind of video would be great for you to do on rainy days when you just cant get out and work ( just sayin ).
Tim good job on the sharpening instructions.👍
I never understood why people file over a depth gauge. File away the raker not the gauge, save those files.
Good job on the double-gullett or opening up the gullett, comes handy in the middle of the cut when most of the chain is in the log. Something that is done on square filing as you mentioned.
Nothing beats hand filing, even the grinder comes up short, your video clearly shows that.
Happy and safe cutting. 💪🪓🌲
I always tryin keep extra chain with me when im out cutting firewood. Store them in tupperware sandwhich boxes in the truck. An extra bar or extra chainsaw is a good idea too i think. Obviously im no professional, just a guy who enjoys cuttin firewood.
Those file guide tool plate snap on thingys are great for helping maintain the file depth and proper hook. The folks I train use them and have lots of success, it’s a youth corps. I have a complicated filing technique and I like the husky roller guide for mindless filing and getting a bad chain back in order, mostly I free hand in the field with a depth gage plate for my rakers. I started learning to file at ten and got decent by 15, I really got it from a logger I went to school with. That was over twenty years ago now, I should make a video it would be funny. Be well Tim
That Husqvarna roller guide is pretty good with that x-cut chain.with light pressure it seems like you can sharpen the chain faster and more consistent than doing it freehand. I was impressed with it.
Great tutorial Tim, I'll try it next time I sharpen my chain.
I think your the only guy on TH-cam that sharpens the way I do it w orks great. Most are to proud to use Oregon file guide. A few years ago when my son was logging and hand filing with out guide. Picked up one of my saws said holy s__t that's cutting good. I said no different than normal. He's used Oregon file guide ever since now his saws cut as good as mine.
I’ve seen a lot of different ways to sharpen a chain by different folks and seen their chips flying out the back. Your method may take extra steps but hands down looks like a better result. Thanks Tim great video.
Love these videos bro. There is nothing quite like watching your time pay off on sharpening a chain well when you see it zip through a log and pile up those big chips at your feet!!!
That one Tim The Tool Man Taylor sure is a highly skilled handy person even to this day! Why Tim and his side kick Red Green certainly have provided many remedies applicable across the DIYer spectrum!
We allways sharpened 3\8 with a 3\16 I think you can put more hook in the top chisel! Who knows but thars how I was taught as a boy lol I can do pretty good but I cut up on a yard for a long time I learned the hard but best way! I had a 4 ft stick and a ax to beat dirt off the logs with! And prayed I had a loader man to hold em up for me made it alot easier.in winter I've wades mud knee deep cutting logs up with a super pro 105 ? Remember those times? Dad hauled 5 ft pulpwood back in the 60s 70s to champion we sawed it up with bow saws! Gear driven bow shaped bars would cut dull!!
Thank you for for adding the emphasis on rolling the rakes, it as functionally important as gauging the depths.
It’s all the little things that make big differences 👍🏻
That was amazing watching that saw cut ! And I quote "sticker picking out stuff "
Everyone who runs a saw should learn to sharpen proficiently. Dull chains kill saws…
Nice video!
Never like the old style file guides but the new Stihl guide with the taker file does actually work very well. That said if your confident and have a good eye it's a helluva lot quicker to eyeball it.
The best tip I have is run the saw up and get plenty of chain lube over those teeth so it lubes the file. Your files will last a lot longer.
That file guide is the way to go. I set the angle with the fingers on my left hand against the bar and it gives a consistent cut.
Thanks for the tips on sharpening the chainsaw I learned a lot
I just assumed you listened to taylor swift in the background while you filed
Great video CT. Can’t wait to see you do one on the square file.
I find it easier to file the second side by turning the saw upside down. I do use a file guide. Never done the gullet or side, I will try it
Heck, I GOOGLED it after that last video and got nothing; so I was wondering about "Taylor" method. I never thought of the downward filing of the depth rakers. Will give it a go next time.
Exactly how I would sharpen all my Stihls. 💪👍👀.
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
I see you got a bark box on it. Have you done anything to the air filter?
Great job Tim, that is a vice and a half:):)
Great video!👍🏻
I like this method
I WILL TRY THIS
Very interesting video! Question! Why are you vertical filing the rakers?
Yeah, that is an interesting maneuver.
Thanks I Really Needed To See This Video!!!👍🏻💯🌲💯🌲💯❤️
May I ask what filing the vertical side of the raker does ? I've never seen that before
Exposes the side of the tooth more. IMHO, just file the raker down an extra lick and will get better results and takes less time.
Goodness, I followed this video step by step. It cuts better than my brand new chain on my other saw. Then again, the safety chains arnt that great lol.
Like to run that saw to see how your file job cuts.
My buddy Dave files with a 7/32, and angles it down at least 40° rather than level across or 10° like I have read is correct.
His saws cut like a mother. I mean, dang!
And they stay sharp a long time.
He does it on a pickup tail gate, takes him 2 minutes, tops.
He logged for 30 years.
Wood species will play a big part in that chain cutting good.
Great Video- Are You going to be any more saw classes?
As Billy Ray says,Get the Gullet
I had a landing man who filed the side of his rakers and his saws would cut. Have you ever tried filing the back of the cutting tooth? I never have but some people say it cuts down on drag
It can help make bore cuts smoother and it's used to lighten racing chains.
stihl 2 in 1 is still the best out there for sharpening.
If u actually think that is true, look how many loggers use that...none
Tim, do you file the gullets on your smaller chains as well? If so what size files for the 3/16 and 5/32 chain gullets? Thanks. Great video.
I have occasionally on 325 chains and u use a 5/32 file. I don’t on the smaller chains. It doesn’t seem like it helps near as much on smaller chains as it does on the 3/8
👍
Just like shooting a bow. Same thing the same way every time.
You are exactly right
Why the vertical file on the rake’s? I feel like that’s been a hidden secret that you’ve been holding onto lol
no "hidden secret, just exposes the the tooth more. Sort of like doing and extra lick on your raker, its the size of the file that really does the work.
So how do you like the 400, compared to something like a 562xp?
562xp blows the 400 out of the water. No comparison.
@@ryanbrand3946 you’d think there would be more comparison videos of the 2. You see a lot of ms362 vs 562xp , not much with the 400 though. I realize it’s newer so I’m sure they will eventually crop up
I like the way you sharpen a chainsaw . I don't like a electric shapener . That machines ta kk es too much off of the chain.
Tim have you ever run the 3/8 X cut chain on the MS 500i 👍👍👍
Not the x cut but I have the 33rs. They’re pretty comparable.
The 24" bar X cut 3/8 050 will it fit on a 500i 25in bar
Yes that’s correct. They both take 84 drive links. Not exactly sure why stihl calls it a 25 but they do.
Thanks for getting back to me you are a good guy keep the videos coming 👍👍👍
I bought ms500i do not like the stihl chain I am switching over to the X cut 3/8 050 84
All you it seems wrong 😅
