Yep, just gouged a chunk running the chain backwards while sharpening the other day. Lesson learned. On a related note, something I don't see discussed much. Easiest way to check if your chain is sharp while sharpening. Run your finger/thumb/finger nail from back to front on the top plate,sideplate,and corner. There will be a burr sticking up just like raising a burr when sharpening a knife when you have filed enough.
Nothing like venting every now and then. You are experiencing maturity in your overall perspective. It naturally comes with age, and it's a great thing. I'll still watch and enjoy you. You might consider starting your own platform. Then you can set the algorithm as you see fit. Good luck!
I was all thinking like punky wood or something. And then flesh and I spend the next few minutes shuddering and remembering times. I am adding this to my chainsaw training when I talk about chainsaws chewing, not cutting. I might have this wrong from the video but describing the tooth without a raker as a melon baller will probably stick in folks mind.
Stihl shit(saws are homeowner worthless now, but a very few products are still ok, saw chain is top notch), oregon is still oregon-solid, good value, dependable. Heal up fast brother. Dangerous job out there.
Yeah man, ive sharpened(re-re sharpened) doezens of teeth, the raker wears by it self. I cant tell how lucky that i have not seen any injuries with the dozens of dumbies around me. Stilh shit(saws are a waste of time
Might be click bait, but you gave me something valuable to think about.
Thank you. This is something I knew in the back of my mind, but never thought about.
Yup gotta b careful...I hate when people file the depth gages down thinking they know it all smh...I rarely touch em
Not where I thought you were going with this but you’re right and that’s nasty to think about

We call it “Rookie Thumb”.

nice shiny hardhat. Do you even log?
Don't sharpen your saw while drunk on muskishine in a hurricane on beautiful lake appoka
I dont file rakers unless they r damaged, i always use my file to move the chain to file the next tooth.
sliced a thumb open testing the sharpness of the chain while sharpening. nice click bait.
