CHAIN SAW HAND FILING AND MUFFLER COMPARISON TEST CUTS

THIS CHAIN SAW SHARPENING VIDEO ADDRESSES REVIVING A CHAIN THAT HAS BEEN IMPROPERLY FILED , AS WELL AS SWAPPING MUFFLERS ON A VINTAGE McCULLOCH TO SEE WHICH ONE WORKS BETTER

[@theironhorse6600]

This is how you learn how to sharpen!! Don’t even bother to watch anyone else’s videos!! It’s all right here! Thank you,!

[@DirtRoadLanding]

Ironhorse Chainsaw yes it is!!!!!

[@ianm-cmd_rav1448]

This is where I learned to file. From Buckin. And now I'm running left and right in my forest and cutting trees with chainsaw like a Jedi's light saber :-)

[@munched55]

High praise coming from Ironhorse! I do need a vid devoted to flat-filing a full chisel though.

[@cuttnhorse2013]

Ironhorse, thank you and Buckin for sharing! From East Tennessee, USA

[@beerayfarms7979]

I struggled with filing forever, always could make them cut, but knew I was missing something. Buckin’ got me straightened up in no time. Lookin at side of the chain is key, I think most people look at the top of top the buy never really get under it right, that’s what he means, once the lightbulb goes off it is amazing. My saws blow chips now, not dust! I’ll be getting that 460 going this weekend IRONHORSE, got the parts last couple days. Might try some square chisel filing and make the 660 a pure falling saw with it.. Takes lots of firewood to make syrup on my current rig haha

[@TheBearcat1957]

At 80 years old I will never sharpen another chain but,, I love watching your videos.

[@optimoprimo132]

It's helping for sure! When I first started my filing wasn't great... Lol. However I went moose hunting and i guy who was about 10 years older than I am and seemed confident that he knew exactly how to sharpen a chain... Needless to say... He sharpened my chain and took my hook away and my 30 degree angle and put a 15 degree angle on the tooth... The thing was making flower out of the cut instead of nice shavings. I had to take some deep breaths and not say anything... That was the day I decided to commit myself to learning how to file properly. I found Buckin and never looked back!

[@willcollier9031]

Friends, seriously this is pure gold. It’s like Buckin’s school of filing. Love to all, hope everyone’s having a fantastic weekend.

[@timothyohliger5888]

This was an incredible wealth of knowledge given to me for free. A million thanks!

[@MrBearbait75]

In the other vid - sharpening a 200T n this one I like shapening a chain by hand is like sharpening a knife by hand. It took me dozens of knives to get that memory set in my muscles so I could hold a consistent angle. Thanks for the details n the eye on the sky is the bomb! It clarifies the minute details!! Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Be kind to one another friends!

[@tnlynchmob]

I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks so much for making this so fun to watch and learn from! Glad I've held onto all my old chains.

[@mjrwey]

Yea buckin! Haven't stopped by in a bit, but I see you haven't lost any of your steam! Excellent videos as always brother.

[@Lazybones1340]

Ha. I'm sure I have a chain hanging in the garage that looks just like that one did before you restored it. One of my first ones. Paid to much attention to the top edge and corner and none to the gullet. That saw sounded so much better once it could be breath. Thanks for the knowledge Buckin'. Enjoy the day all, make somebody smile.

Hand filing is a good time but I have to say I would much rather file skip tooth vs. full comp😂 the filing tips and tricks have always been so helpful and appreciated! Keep up the good work buckin, we have a good thing going on here! Love to you and the family❤️

[@arborist460]

Son your doin a great job explanin all the little details that matter so much when we're tryin to achieve razorness...keep stressin NO FILE GUIDES....that's what leaves all that gullet that has to come out if you want true razorness...p.s...my left handin is comin...my dang knees and back can't take settin over the saw long...but I push through...bygod if you can come back from gettin hammered by a tree..I'll be fine with my little aches

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

LOVE YA BUDDY

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

My mentor as he was getting longer in the tooth couldn't file hunched over either. So he relearned how to do it sitting in the skidder. And filed one side backwards instead of changing hands. I never could get onto that, literally different strokes for different folks. But it worked well.

[@randycasey49]

Buckin this video made a lot sense to me. It help me to finally get the picture on hand filing. Hope more like it in the future. Thanks for posted!

Thnx Buckin! The looking glass sections showed me finally where & what to look for in sharpening. Tested it already and it really works. Still experimenting to get the ultimate cutting experience but at least now my chains are cutting better after sharpening. Touching the rakers a bit where needed.

I don't know if you'll see this Buckin' Billy Ray, but I wanted to say thanks. I considered my self a decent filler and since I tried a 7/32 file on an old chain that just didn't stay sharp, I'm sold. The thing cuts like crazy now... or should I say: SHE CUTS, HEY!! cheers to you friend!

From one Kevin to another, nice mac....lots of practice will help the chain sharpening...promise. A sharp edge can be achieved in lots of ways and general knowledge of moving steel or leaving it to create a superior edge increases the ability to reach succesful results. Buckin knows what hes talkin about. 45 yrs experience and I learn from him .There are millions of techniques What Buckin is showing is great stuff. For super sharp chains, caint beat it...Buckin', thanks for sharing this with folks, its great to see you sharing...we caint take it with us, if we share, it may last forever. Many Blessings Friends, Kev... the one without the mac.. lol

Whats up sorry i haven't been committing in a long time. Im a trublue and always will b. As for the 3.16 file, i have used that on my low profile chains since you said it 2 yrs ago it files the whole face i love it. Bsafe and hit me up sometime. I have also started chasing my dream of owning my own tree biz, so no i work 2 full time jobs. Im a aircraft mechanic during the week and full time on tree work on my days off, bought a mini skid steer (toro dingo tx427) next is a stump grinder. I need a go pro so i can start filming my removals and climbs. Bsafe buckin and congrats on all your success..........

Love the Japanese safety boots lol. What does mrs buckin think about socks full of wood chips? Personally I throw mine out lol.

[@jjknowles7348]

[@JourneyNorthAK]

I love the mufflers experiments...dont k ow unless you try...knowledge is knowing...

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

YES IT IS

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

Knowledge+Experience=Competancy. Just like strength you dont have the whole package until you've tested it

[@1d1hamby]

The hard metal you run into on a chain is when someone has over heated the chain while grinding and quenched the hot metal with cold water and made the metal hard and brittle and removed the temper in the metal. That's why we only tap the metal with electric grinders so we don't overheat the metal and remove the temper.

[@Gunner1972]

How would that affect the rakers?

[@d.ahwooomazenkas8075]

Ahwooooo 👍

[@MOzarkMike]

Do you need to file down the depth gauge when you cut the tooth that far back?

[@salvatoresaetta3095]

Buckin, did we catch you using a grinder on Ax Men?! Loll, great video! Was thinking of posting a video for everyone to critique me on, my chain can use some touch up work.

[@figurativeexistence]

I thought I was being fussy getting my saws tuned just right, but what a difference it makes. Oak is pretty much all I deal with (homeowner with acreage). Watching your other videos, it seems like you are cuttin' super fast and I was all "man, what am I doing wrong"... then I saw this one, cutting dead oak and I'm like "wow, that's like how long it takes me." Guess hardwood v. softwood, ya?

[@manlyadvice1789]

I've had the same issues. Most of the wood I've been dealing with is oak. I was working long and hard on cuts and the splitting was horrendously difficult. For the longest time, I thought I was doing something wrong or maybe I'm just weaker than I think I am. It's nice to see a seasoned pro with a great saw and freshly sharpened chain take so long in a cut.

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

Yeppers ... the species of wood definitely makes a difference in cut times due to the relative hardness/softness of the wood ... I can rip thru an 19-20” pc of silver maple in about 8sec ; 19-20pc ash or red oak about 17 sec or so - same Saw , bar and chain ... and I’ve got vids to back up me #s ... fun fun fun !

[@Chevron.Muskoka]

Thats what I was saying about not having enough expansion chamber too. You can lose all the "stuffing" and flush it all right out the pipe at lower rpm. Shes a fine balance without having an entire tuned pipe helping.

[@SuperJames215]

the tum !nail shows it all great picture

[@jamesburke5709]

Great job there buckin Billy your dead on point about the saw there too the only thing is that you need to file it alittle bit more and check the drags out and see if they are alittle bit higher than the cutter teeth on it I noticed that it wasn't opening up the first time you started it myself here too cause of the muffler problem on it alot of timber fellers don't realize that the muffler has to put back compression on the engine for it to run properly there too and for you younger guys that don't know this stuff keep watching buckin Billy ray cause the man knows what's going on with a saw I seen this on this video right here too have a great day and keep up the great vedios there buckin Billy ray and bs and bc out there now too okay I'll ttyl now thanks for this great vedio too
