Thanks, a great demonstration.

[@robynmcdonald3942]

Well, everyone has an opinion. If it gets sharp, you did it right.

[@LugasLife]

Thank you for video, good work and very sharp! 👍

[@JohnnyButtercuts]

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

“Push too hard will ruin your file” Pretty sure dragging your file backwards will ruin it quicker than pushing too hard.

[@JakePlisskin12]

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.

[@Vanmoof5]

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?

Nice work 👍

Лучше точить на станке, напильник для правки

[@REDLINERUNNER]

Easy, just buy 2 in 1 Stihl chain sharpener and thank me later. I have demonstration on my channel.

[@Wood_Slice]

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

[@PortedSaws]

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.

[@rooster3019]

I think your file is larger in diameter than what Stihl intended.

[@PortedSaws]

Yes stihl recomends 13/64 but i like 7/32

[@rooster3019]

@@PortedSaws I use the smaller file when the teeth are more than half worn; if I think about it....

[@teresahicks4812]

[@bradmckay7881]

😂 stay away frm my saw

[@luxbeci2]

I have Stihl 880 How need sharpening?

[@chrismarjerison6791]

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.

[@chib9427]

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.

[@Ecksterphono]

@chib9427 .O50 says it right on the bar close to the bumper spikes.

[@PortedSaws]

On a stock 455 i like to put .325 chains But that's just my opinion

[@Ecksterphono]

​@PortedSaws Thanks. That what I was thinking. Awesome video.

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

File only works one way so whe you drag it back your making it blunt again 😂

[@kirkchatwin6160]

You for real can’t see the file lift? Ffs

[@Lars_Olsen]

Watching the video like this 🫣

[@JakePlisskin12]

Thats a myth bub. Get taught.

[@JakePlisskin12]

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.

[@luxbeci2]

Which Chainshaw this? Stihl 361?

[@PortedSaws]

Its 3/8s chain

[@MrSprintcat]

Sthil recommends 5.5 mm/ 13/64, file.? 😊

[@PortedSaws]

Yes but 7/32 is what i like

[@gunterbecker8528]

I've learned something very valuable just now,so thank you!

[@milanbiskup5755]

13/64 is 5.2mm but 7/32 is better

[@Vanmoof5]

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 ?

[@lbnoronha]

It looks one way but i believe he is sharpening when he pulls the file not when he pushes it.

[@MrSprintcat]

No, it sharpens when he is pushing.

[@PortedSaws]

Yes sorry i didnt tell ya but yes when you push the file thats when it removes Material

Your ஃபால்ஸ் chain சஸ்பெண்ட் g

This sharp not long time kating my 5 year experience

Is this comment in English?

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

File too big your not ment yo file the link

[@JakePlisskin12]

None of what you said is true. Get the gullet bub

[@paulstokes1831]

I see that you know how to dull a file! Everyone knows not to pull a file backwards.

[@DaleRayJr]

Dull a file? 😂 1-2 chains a file and said file goes to a trash can.

[@dope7kids]

Your right, and why is he sharpening a new chain?

[@paulstokes1831]

[@allen4758]

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

[@jonathancristobal4724]

I love comments

Неправильно! Напильник должен двигаться на зуб, а не от него!

[@laszlosoos4093]

[@user-vc4hc7mi7h]

Все верно, напильники во всем мире работают в одном направлении - "ОТ СЕБЯ".... Они так устроены....... 😊

[@user-lx3li6px1v]

@@user-vc4hc7mi7h Я про другое говорил! Заусенец от напильника наружу выходит, когда точат как в ролике! Что бы его не было, нужно напильник вести на зуб, и как ты скажешь - от себя

Badest i‘ve ever ssen

[@darrenboston342]

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!!

[@MrDavidjohn66]

I use a grinder 😂 life is to short for a file .

[@JakePlisskin12]

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.
