Not trying to just criticize but the number of strokes on the teeth doesn’t matter if you use the raker depth gage correctly. The raker guide works based off the tooth height that is directly behind it. So if he is doing it like he is in the video, it’s wrong because there is nothing to tie the height of the tooth to the height of the raker that dictates the depth of cut. Hope this helps love the videos keep up the good work!
I’d also like to point out that yes a dry grinder will weaken the teeth you can mitigate that with wet grinding but it leaves a consistent grind but a bad hand file job that’s not consistent can cause a saw to pull to one side because the teeth aren’t even
More info then I ever knew about them!! Great video!! But next time please put a mic on the guy who's doing the tutorial. Some parts I just couldn't hear. Thanks!
Stan….AWESOME Video! Great content and Tanner did a wonderful job explaining the process which is so valuable to those using a chain saw. A dull chain makes for a very long day. Maybe next time, put a microphone on Tanner. Thank you Stan and please keep putting your videos out!🇺🇸
Very informative vid there Stan. I did learn something today. I have a Husqvarna 455 Rancher with a 20" bar and it has worked flawlessly for the last 7 years. I also have a Husqvarna dealer right down the road where I purchased my saw and he does all the sharpening for me. I do have the correct files for sharpening when I need them sharpened in a pinch, but I learned a few tips from this young fella. Thanks for sharing.
Always good to have knowledge building vids. Couple things, he didn't mention the square angle (most all the chains I've used are a "compound" angle!), the mark on the bottom is the front to back angle. You still have an up & down angle too (most are on the box), lol. When I bought my first gas saw (have an antique Craftsman electric 16", all metal. Big log dogs, isn't fast, but doesn't slow down!) I also bought an Oregon clamp on guide, you can set both angles, works great (I can hand file too, now)! But I used to file them like my chisels, saw blades & knifes, so I didn't leave the burr on the cutting face. Since the internet (lol) I've seen most are stroking away from that face, leaving a burr (I guess it's gone with the first few cuts!). Guess I'm still curious about that... Worn out a bunch of saws over the last 4 decades, lol. One thing I do is after i've cleaned it, I spray it down with silicone spray (frankly, ALL my tools), after its dry you can brush (or blow) most of the crap off... I think it keeps the tools around longer. Certainly appreciate all the teaching, & variety, of your videos. Thanx !
Talk about good timing! I just got a new file for my chainsaw chain today. I have not used my chainsaw for awhile and it needs it's chain touched up a little. This video really helps me remember how to do a good job of sharing the chain. It also helps to have a good chainsaw dealer to help get the right file you need. Thanks 😊.
This was interesting, but it could have gone deeper into the subject with even more detail. I did learn a few things and would like more on this subject. Thanks.
Hey Stan I am all for these types of videos. They really help the average home owner or new business entrepreneur for that reason by showing them the ins and out around specialty tools. I would only recommend the next time you mic up the pther person. A lot of the video he was really quite.
Stan, great video, as others have mentioned, allot of the info I knew, but I did learn few things! Great video, someone mentioned giving Tanner a mike to hear better, also, have a light specifically pointing what your going to video. Your camera movement blocked the actual lighting and when you moved to the right, the spot you were talking about got brighter.
Thank you so much, Stan. That was a lot of great info! Some of it I already knew....some I didn't. Going forward, this will definitely help me maintain my saw better. I get it now...bar maintenance is equally as important as engine maintenance. And yes please...more videos like this in the future! This is precisely why I love this platform, can learn some neat stuff from professionals like you.
I’d add that when you’re done with the saw, loosen up the chain a lot to keep from a hot chain cooling and putting unneeded stress on the bearings and drive sprocket! I’ve got a Sthil 029 Farm Boss
I started using the Stihl special blade and rake combo sharpening tool have had great success but I did learn a lot about bar maintenance and the different types of chains
Don't wanna be that guy but he was using the raker gauge backwards, you want the gauge to sit on the tooth behind the raker not in front, it'll help everyone keep there fingers 👍
@@Dirtmonkey Good Evening Stan 🖐 I've been A Small Engine Mechanic For Over 30 years. I'm Good At What I Do , But Can't Do What You Do 👍 We Are All Good At Something. So We Help Make The World A Better Place😊
Good morning Stan just wanted to mention a part on the bar he didn't mention after doing al of what he did and your cut still got a curve to it check if the elevation where the chain rides on the bar and see if they are even with a square if not it will make your chain run in a small amgle and make you have a curve in your cut
Stan I agree with the stuff he said also have to mention Grove chain rides in have to dress the bar and make square again also drive sprocket on clutch needs to be replaced they say every new chain but I only do it when I replace the bar takes alot of practice to file properly
@Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek I don't think it has to be I was told by a repair shop replace drive sprocket I in past on my cheep stihl 250 model not replaced and it actually stop chain from turning so it is a high wear part like chain and bar
The raker always gives me trouble measuring them.Ive had 6 gages to file them but none that seem to give me a accurate result.Ive resorted to measuring them in a precision vice and a dial gage to measure the distance from cutter to racker.This is done off bar with the chain in the vice and the dial gage on a manget mounted to the vice top surface and pulling the slightly tightened chain through the vice measuring the distance between the two.
I'll bet Tanner doesn't know that I own every chain sharpening tool/gimmick ever invented. However, I have taught myself to hand file. I will use my bench grinder if needed to get my angles back.
Great Video - It has been a long time since I was showed how to sharpen. I can tell you I wasn't told 100% correct. My chain's should be sharper and more importantly cut better.
Would it not matter as far as the number of times you sharpen it if the chain was sharpened by someone who did not us the same amount of strokes on one tooth as they did on the rest of the teeth? Just asking.
i gotta disagree with the comment same stroke per tooth it depends on damage of tooth the key is rake to tooth clearance needs to be same there are videos out there that supports my comment buckin billy ray has one
This guy doesn't understand the raker. You should know you don't have to count your strokes on each tooth. If you have a raker gauge that adjusts the raker for each cutter tooth, unlike the one he was using. The raker gauge he's using, uses the teeth before and after the tooth you're trying to adjust. This would make sense why he's trying to count his strokes trying to average the raker height. Make sure you're making the surfaces true and perpendicular to help the saw cutting straight.
You both need to take a few more lessons I’ll just leave it at that. If you want to learn how to sharpen a saw get the gullet and watch buckin Billy ray. Nuff said
Wen he use hes racker gage i did not ust it corectly it was not resting on the right thoot he was resting he gage on the thoot on front of the racker that he was sharpening

@@Doubie. that's Dylan's point, the teeth don't need to be the same size if the rakers, or depth gauges, are based on the size of the teeth.
I always feel like I don't have all the information/steps when I watch a sharpening video. I it takes practice but I want it now. Thanks for sharing.
More info then I ever knew about them!! Great video!! But next time please put a mic on the guy who's doing the tutorial. Some parts I just couldn't hear. Thanks!

Watch some Buckin Billy Ray sharpening videos and he'll show you multiple ways of using a file for sharpening a chain

What kind of chainsaw are you running?
A small battery saw.if the chain is not sharp it does work well.😮
This was interesting, but it could have gone deeper into the subject with even more detail. I did learn a few things and would like more on this subject. Thanks.
Yeah can’t go too much into it in 20 mins but if you’d like to see a more in depth one I’ll keep that in mind and see what I can do

Thank you for making this video! This advice can be helpful next time I use my chainsaw😁👍
WoW,great video, extremely educational. I'm new to cutting and have watched several videos, THIS has ALL YOU NEED in one video.
Thank you.
Helped a lot. I knew most of this stuff but definitely picked up a few things.
Great video, dense with information, no filler. Thanks so much.
You bet 👊
Thanks Stan and Tanner! Nice video and good close ups! Now I feel more confident. 👍😎
That’s the goal 👌
Great video! And learned a lot. I would always only sharpen quickly and thought I was done. Now I have a better understanding. Exceptional video!
Thanks for this! I was just thinking about trying to sharpen mine!! Hope you are doing well! Glad to see your post!
Hope this helps you. Have you tried sharpening one before in the past. It’s a little tricky.

Nice video as always Stanley! 💪🪐♥️
Much appreciated sir!
dude this was cool. please do more videos on tools, their part names, maintenance, setup and how they work, etc.
This does help out a lot -- very practical, thank you much!
Thanks for watching! Now go get em 👊
A lot of great info!!
Thanks for sharing the saw tips! 👍
Happy to help!

A good simple down to earth sharpening video
You got it
Great vid. Learned some things I didn't know
Hope so 👍
Thanks for the training.
Love this info ! Thank you
Thanks for being here 👍
Helped me out, I've ran a chainsaw a handful of times in my life but was never shown the proper way to do any of this!
Hope to help 👌
Learned a couple things from this one thank you
Happy to help 😊
Awesome Stan - Thanks a bunch for this tutorial - I will make life way easier when using my power saw.
Thank you. I didn't know about raker filing.

Meant to be shared lol 👌
Tanner making Big moves. Last time we seen him he was in a enclosed trailer. Quit the up grade! Nice to see a Young buck making it happen!
Heck yeah 👊👊
Great info!! Stay safe!!
Thanks Stan, I learned a few things.
Cool beans brotha 👍
Always interesting to see how people do it and what knowledge they have. You can tell he's a stihl guy.
I learned something thank you
Love the videos
Thanks bud 👊
Yes Stan , been cutting 45 yrs , still learning
Gotta stay learning. That’s a good sign
Another awesome video
Yay 👊
Great I keep learning find your number the videos
Sharpening I'm always in a hurry so I use a die grinder with cut off wheel takes about two minutes and back to work
Good morning Stan just wanted to mention a part on the bar he didn't mention after doing al of what he did and your cut still got a curve to it check if the elevation where the chain rides on the bar and see if they are even with a square if not it will make your chain run in a small amgle and make you have a curve in your cut
Good Job Tanner.
👍👍👍
Thank you
I’ve used the old file and set clamp on sharpening devise and have gotten good long life out of my chains I also use raker gauge when necessary.
Nice work guys!
Thanks man!
I have run skip tooth for years. Love it
Love to hear it 👌
Love this content
Awesome sauce 👍
I thought I knew what I was doing. I didn’t. Lol, time to resharpen my chains.
Bar maintenance includes Trueing up /squaring the rails plus checking the gap on the bar ware the chain rides. Good information but just my 2 cents.
I like that you get to the nitty-gritty 👍
Stan I agree with the stuff he said also have to mention Grove chain rides in have to dress the bar and make square again also drive sprocket on clutch needs to be replaced they say every new chain but I only do it when I replace the bar takes alot of practice to file properly
That doesn’t sound right about replacing the sprocket with every chain. Does that sound right to you? That’s too generalized in my book.
@Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek I don't think it has to be I was told by a repair shop replace drive sprocket I in past on my cheep stihl 250 model not replaced and it actually stop chain from turning so it is a high wear part like chain and bar

Very nice.
Buy an ego and never worry about chain tension...
It helps to sing a song while filing :)
Hahah yes 🙌
Thanks
Of course!
Good work safety is first just before production
very informative.
👍👌
I'll bet Tanner doesn't know that I own every chain sharpening tool/gimmick ever invented. However, I have taught myself to hand file. I will use my bench grinder if needed to get my angles back.
I bet Tanner doesn’t know that you on every chain saw sharpening tool/gimmick out there. So which one works best?
@@Dirtmonkey A fresh hand file works best.
I got a top handle stihl good saw but dangerous if you use it one handed and don't keep your other hand out of harms way
ur fave song ? unchained melody hehhe hi mr stan
Great Video - It has been a long time since I was showed how to sharpen. I can tell you I wasn't told 100% correct. My chain's should be sharper and more importantly cut better.
Life is too short to hand file. 😁
Would it not matter as far as the number of times you sharpen it if the chain was sharpened by someone who did not us the same amount of strokes on one tooth as they did on the rest of the teeth? Just asking.

Just exactly like I was taught 45 years ago.

Hi buddy God Bless!
I use this information when filing my teeth and eating celery is so much more efficient.
i gotta disagree with the comment same stroke per tooth
it depends on damage of tooth the key is rake to tooth clearance needs to be same there are videos out there that supports my comment buckin billy ray has one
When interviewing someone, you need to be closer. The sound variance is distracting.
No Friday videos the last couple weeks. What’s up with that?
If you really want to know how to sharpen a chain look up buckin billy ray smith
This guy doesn't understand the raker. You should know you don't have to count your strokes on each tooth.
