This is actually a great video for a new-to-sharpening saw owner, I like this system bc it takes a lot of variables out, versus a more advanced hand filing. Great job Wools👍🏻 If your watching this, file your rakers(depth gauges) in conjunction to its tooth and don’t worry if you need more or less off of each raker. *File raker per each tooth* you’ll never be able to file rakers with the same number of swipes as the chain ages.
@@WoolysWorld I hope I explained that ok. People will think they need to take the same number of swipes on all the rakers, but the raker height is adjust according to the counterpart tooth, not the rest of the rakers.
9.45pm. Jan 31st. After watching various videos, this is the most sensible one by far. Thank you so much. I'm a Cabinet Maker tradesman and have always sharpened my own saws but now I've learnt something. Thank you so much pal.
Thanks for the video, just tried your method and it absolutely worked for me and it didn't take me that long to sharpen.. I will be using this method from now on.. Thanks
If it is sharp thats all that matters to me! Seems like most of the discussion is on what method is being used and less focused on how sharp the chain is when done. I like to hand file when I have time but sometimes I just wanna get out and get cutting!
There are so many things wrong in this video it's scary - for some topics it's hard to find videos on TH-cam from professionals who actually know what they're doing
i wasn't going to take them down, just interested in what people though of them, this is the chain i used for the 181 vs 365 video, loads of people said stuff about the rakers

My absolute pleasure buddy, a lovely comment, thank you
AT LAST! a chainsaw sharpening video that follows some kind of logic - and makes perfect sense - thanks Wooly, I'll try it 👍👍
Thanks Dale, kind words

Lol, agreed buddy
Once the grinding stones wore out on mine I replaced them with diamond coated steel bits. They are reasonably price and last way longer
Yes, much better
I got a Chinese rotory tool and use dimond bits Chinese get 1 bit 1 chain 1 pound each I find the stones burn out quick
My stones last for ages

Cheers buddy
Why do you grind straight across after you sharpen your tooth and take away the sharpness
Depends on the tooth, if I go straight across it's to put a curve in the tooth
Interesting pal. How long does a stone last?
months , diamond stones, 5 for 5$ on ebay
Brill... what's the bit?
It's a diamond bit I got on eBay, cheap enough to
Don't take the rakers down to much.its deadly dangerous. Are you going live tonight?
i wasn't going to take them down, just interested in what people though of them, this is the chain i used for the 181 vs 365 video, loads of people said stuff about the rakers
yes, live at nine
No need to mark the tooth.cant you see the one's you have sharpend . They will shine.
yes, but sometimes i get lost in the sharpening and sharpen past it! lol
Me too so I use a marker also
I lose my spot if I'm not careful
i tied this it takes 15 min a file takes 5
Stick with what works best for you, I've been doing this for a few years so I'm used to it
