Reviving Jose's Chainsaw: How I Sharpen with a Grinder

[@Mr.Phoreskin]

I wish I had a friend like Jose. You guys sure know how to cheer a feller up too.

[@TaylorWelding]

I’m glad you think so Rusty. Life’s too short to let things get you down.

[@west3226]

Hey Mr. Taylor. i commented on one of your videos a while back and told how your videos helped me become a better welder. I just wanted to thank you again because I'm now welding with the 3rd year students as a first year at my highschool thanks to your videos. Much love

[@TaylorWelding]

That is awesome!

[@TaylorWelding]

Keep me posted

[@someytchannel.9046]

In a pinch why not!!! thank you brother, god bless you and yours

[@phantomcharger568]

The problems here are many, but if you're happy with it that's all that really matters, you saw, your chain. I watched this (it was hard to. lol) to see if it was reasonably possible in an emergency to use a grinder, I'd say so, basically mimics how it's done in a shop using the high production equipment. (Under far more controlled conditions) If I was standing there with you I'd recommend the file. A little practice and a good quality file, a guy could do that little saw in about 5 minutes. Of course the condition of the chain will vary the time some. I don't comment much, but want to say you got great channels, I watch the wielding/economics channels all the time, thanks for the content and the stuff I learn all the time. 👍🏻

[@commietube4273]

That’s cool you kept Jose working when you got off the line.

[@TaylorWelding]

Heck yeah he’s like family. I don’t know what I’d do without him.

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Good idea if you’re in a jam! I would use that method if needed. Can’t always do stuff by the book , at times you just need to get it done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍

To the moon Ethel!! Good one Chris

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

OH MY GOSH 😂❗️ “We’re not going to fly this thing to the Moon” had me literally laughing out loud 😂😂😂😂. I Just started watching so I might make another comment. Blessings, C Los

[@TaylorWelding]

I’m glad you like it brother Carlos

[@dustinatwood7077]

Love all you guys are doing. Keeping it real!

[@burtlade1705]

One thing I found very handy is that if there is dirt on the log the saw will not dull much if the dirt is on the exit side of the cut. If you look at the end of a log and there is dirt dragged through the log, you can be pretty sure that your saw needs sharpening. I liked the video and would do the same in a bind. Thanks.

[@TaylorWelding]

Thanks for the tip. Makes sense.

[@jacquesdm2382]

Grind the depth guides slightly lower as well. They sit just before the cutting tips. The log might be riding on them as well. Really enjoy your videos!

[@TaylorWelding]

Thanks for the tips!

[@TheGoatShowMan]

What's the difference between using this angle grinder and a chain saw sharpening grinder? They're both grinders, just configured differently. Don't see a problem with this myself. I'm surely gonna try it.

[@b-ryanistryin]

Time to upgrade that camera, KZbin mega fame is right around the corner! Good stuff

[@mider9996]

These videos are great

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

I remember going to Mexico and my grandpas chainsaw was dull as crap we had to get through a fallen tree to get to his horses pulled out the grinder I had and went into town saved us in a pinch

[@MikeHensley-sc3ns]

Ear bud warning @1:48.😂🤣😂 holy smokes.😜

[@Doodad2]

You make me laugh! I love your content, but I would never let you touch my chainsaw! I guess it will work, sort of. Hell, I sharpen paddle bits on a belt sander. LOL

[@101affliction]

That’s a great hack. The guard on angle grinders should be banned, it’s always in the stupid way 😂 Gonna try that tomorrow on my chain saw, I was about to buy another chain for it. Thanks Chris!

[@TaylorWelding]

Did it work?

[@101affliction]

@@TaylorWelding it really did, you made it look easy took me a few tries lol Thanks again brother

[@gunnerlrr]

I just want to know why you’re grinding disk is on backwards

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

It’s a left handed grinder, look close at the handle.

[@TaylorWelding]

It was for the camera but it didn’t help.

[@TaylorWelding]

Sometimes it has a hard time, focusing on one particular item I was trying to make the background black behind the chain

[@MBwelding]

Haters gonna hate but if it works it works and like you said especially in a pinch why wouldn’t you have this info in your tool box I don’t plan on my house burning down but I still know how to use an extinguisher

[@roberttaylor2616]

Works good on a sacrificial chain that you know you need to stick in the dirt

[@DCS026]

LOL I thought you were serious at first.

[@TaylorWelding]

?

[@KevinsDisobedience]

I think the rakers are just high.

[@TaylorWelding]

Maybe 🤔

[@paulhendren8674]

That sure is a different way to sharpen a chainsaw but who cares if it works I always hit the rackers a little every so often
