I have found that unless you have only been using that chain for 15 minutes, you will be using more than 3-5 strokes per tooth 😂. I typically use 10-20 light pushes to get that perfect edge along the entire tooth and remove all the burrs. It’s easy to get carried away and over sharpen some teeth shorter than the others. Overall, you truly do not need it to be perfect because as soon as it hits bark, the teeth are getting beat up. Just get the edge back so it’s not harder on your saw to get through the cut
I have a brand new saw, and what he’s demonstrating is the chain doesn’t work with the recommend files. The chain must be trained, before your sharpening is easy. Once the chain is formed/trained to your file, you can sharpen quick and easy with a couple passes!
Lets say you slab a 42” by 10 foot long red oak log with a granberg ripping chain and no obstruction such as nails. After how many slabs do you recommend sharpening the chain
Thanks for reply , if we’re just concentrating on the tooth not the rake , he’s doing bottom as well assuming because new chain , just doing tooth can you sharpen pushing and pulling or not?
Question. I need a chain for my Husqvarna 455 rancher. 20 inch bar 72 tooth 3/8th pitch. The H40 Husqvarna chain is horrible and I need an upgrade. What is the Stihl equivalent or Oregon equivalent part number for that chain? . I'm getting conflicting results from different sources. I hate the out of the box Husqvarna chains they put on these bars, they don't sharpen really well either. Need a good chain for felling and bucking. Sometimes I wish I had my own chain cutter and tools which I used to have and cut my own.
I don't understand how filing back words would make the edge you filed forwards blunt. How? If anything the back file would polish the rough forward file push.
3-5 file strokes is a myth, like you say you need to just keep filing until its sharp, usually a lot more than half a dozen strokes. typically takes me 20 plus.

By the time you’ve spent doing this you might as well just bang a new chain on! Not worth taking to get sharpened as they charge more for that than a new chain!!😳 This is for people who literally have all the time in the world to spend doing such a boring job!!
Yeah if I was a homeowner and never used my saw unless my wife told me she wanted some branches trimmed on the Japanese maple that's blocking out the sunlight to her flower bed, I would probably agree with you. But if I actually cut trees bigger than my d!ck to like make a fire or remove a tree, I'd probably just take my file to my chain for 5 min to bring it back to razor sharp. It literally takes less time and effort just to sharpen it yourself than it does to take the thing off and take it to someone and the amount of money your spending on popping a new on when it gets dull is even worse. If it's not than your doing it wrong and you don't know what your doing or even looking at.
“Push too hard will ruin your file”
Pretty sure dragging your file backwards will ruin it quicker than pushing too hard.
Not trying to slep on any toes or offend anyone but pretty sure the "you'll ruin your file by filing or dragging your file backwards" is a myth.

Good Question. Every time I put gas and oil. I sharpen every time I hit a nail.
Or get a dirty log I sharpen a lot more.

I think your file is larger in diameter than what Stihl intended.
Yes stihl recomends 13/64 but i like 7/32
@@PortedSaws I use the smaller file when the teeth are more than half worn; if I think about it....
😅
😂 stay away frm my saw
@@rooster3019 Yes, thats the way, slightly smaller when teeth are half way worn out. Otherwise the C-shape becomes ( almost) an L-shape.
Hi sharpening with file is new to me , I assumed you only pushed file and retuned not touching tooth assuming you sharpen only one way ?
It looks one way but i believe he is sharpening when he pulls the file not when he pushes it.
No, it sharpens when he is pushing.
Yes sorry i didnt tell ya but yes when you push the file thats when it removes Material

You have the tooth count and the pitch now you just need the driver gauge. (.050,.058, or .063) huskies usually have 0.58 if stock bar is used.
@chib9427 .O50 says it right on the bar close to the bumper spikes.
On a stock 455 i like to put .325 chains But that's just my opinion
@PortedSaws Thanks. That what I was thinking. Awesome video.
7 32nd
Thank you for video, good work and very sharp! 👍
I have Stihl 880 How need sharpening?
File only works one way so whe you drag it back your making it blunt again 😂
You for real can’t see the file lift? Ffs
Watching the video like this 🫣
Thats a myth bub. Get taught.

Lots of BS on TH-cam
Лучше точить на станке, напильник для правки
Which Chainshaw this? Stihl 361?
Its 3/8s chain
Sthil recommends 5.5 mm/ 13/64, file.? 😊
Yes but 7/32 is what i like
I've learned something very valuable just now,so thank you!
13/64 is 5.2mm but 7/32 is better
3-5 file strokes is a myth, like you say you need to just keep filing until its sharp, usually a lot more than half a dozen strokes. typically takes me 20 plus.
Best way to sharpen is to put the file in a drill find your angle and drill till the gap is gone
Well, everyone has an opinion. If it gets sharp, you did it right.
Nice work 👍
Dope
enjoyed the video...thumbs up !!
Mantap bro
🎉
Easy, just buy 2 in 1 Stihl chain sharpener and thank me later. I have demonstration on my channel.
to much continuing by sharpening of chain was destroyed quickly
Is this comment in English?
Take off a eh? Hehe so Canadian
File too big your not ment yo file the link
None of what you said is true. Get the gullet bub
I see that you know how to dull a file! Everyone knows not to pull a file backwards.
Dull a file? 😂 1-2 chains a file and said file goes to a trash can.
Your right, and why is he sharpening a new chain?
Another scam channel on TH-cam
After 28yeàrs in machine shops, I can't tell any difference from lifting the file compared to dragging it back, except it's easier to drag
I love comments
Only pushing gently.who is this guy ?
