PFERD 2 in 1 The best chain sharpener I've ever used!!!

[@ToddAdams1234]

That Pferd unit is the same as the Stihl. In fact, Stihl buys those FROM Pferd and then sells them in Orange and with it’s own pt# on it. Just some Info that is interesting.

@@ToddAdams1234 yeah I talk about them making stihls 2-in-1 for them in the video

I was just to impatient to wait. I’m the one in the wrong for doing that, but I’m a big enough man to admit it. BUT, if you’d give yourself time and practice replication of what the Pferd produces, you’ll become an excellent sharpener with ONLY a file. BTW, if you’ll hold the handle of the file up in relation to the chain (about 5-10*) it’ll cut like mad, but DON’T file down the rakers more than a hardwood setting. Try using a cheap Husky raker gauge for them as those work off of each tooth independently of each other. It also takes into account of the “rocking” motion that the chain goes through when cutting. That’s when you’ll realize that those static gauges make the chain more and more hungry the more the cutter gets sharpened back. I learned that with my OWN personal experience. I also now carry the WCS gauge with me because it’s made from some sort of spring like steel that a file WILL NOT TOUCH and it’s perfectly flat, and I keep it in my wallet and I never even know that it’s there…until I need it. 😁 IF you’re not careful with that filing tip that I suggested with the file handle, it’ll become so aggressive that it’ll take a medium size generator engine to pull the tooth through the cut. That working corner of the tooth is a touch more delicate, but when done right and with clean wood, it’s right up there with square ground chain. It’s just SUPER sensitive.

@@ToddAdams1234 oh yeah man, this thing definitely makes a hungry chain. Next time I use it I think I'm going to pull the raker file out to do the sharpening and then put it back in and make like two passes on each tooth
