Why I stopped filing my Chainsaw

[@SwampSawyer]

Got to get a grinder one of these days. I use the same apparatus you used.

I always had trouble getting my chains filed consistently the same on both sides. I purchased a Harbor Freight sharpener and had the same concerns that you did with the Vevor. I have had good luck with using it. I try to set it so that I take off the minimum amount of the tooth that I can so that I don't ruin the chain by sharpening too often. The Vevor sharpener looks to have some better features than my Harbor Freight sharpener. I may have to look into upgrading. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Mike. I was very pleased with the performance and results of the Vevor Chainsaw grinder. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello Jim, everything going well with you? It's been over a month ago your you posted your last video. Hope you're okay and making adventures outside, grtzzz Richie!

[@mylifedeliberately]

Hi Richie. Thanks for reaching out. Just needed to take a break for a few weeks to catch up on some stuff. Will start posting videos again shortly. Thanks.

@mylifedeliberately Hi Jim, glad to hear, take your time and I am looking out your next video, probably in the snow 😃

There is nothing better than using a grinder on your saw chains. The first time I used it on one that had been hand filed I found out that not all of my cutters were the same length front to back. I know that there are a lot of individuals that do file by hand. And kudos to you. But I don’t carry a pocket knife because I have not been able to sharpen one correctly and the other side of that story is I don’t have a need for a pocket knife. I now have enough saw chains with me that when one gets dull. I just take it off. Put a new one on and sharpen it when I get back to the garage. And because I didn’t sharpen them correctly. They didn’t last as long compared to the ones that come off of the grinder. I have an Oregon sharpener. Looks just like the one that you’re using. Keep up the good videos. Enjoyed it very much thank you.

I agree, I get much better results grinding rather than filing. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JohnJacobs-u4p]

Good video. Very informative, and nice demonstration. Looks like I'll be adding another tool to my arsenal.

[@mylifedeliberately]

Thank you. Appreciate the kind words and support!

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

I love great technology, but its always great to know how to do it with some files, just in case we find ourselves without power some day

[@mylifedeliberately]

You are right, knowing how to sharpen by hand is a useful skill. Thanks for watching!

[@slrcustomguitars]

Looks like a nice machine...nice review

[@mylifedeliberately]

Thanks for watching

[@fxpestoperator5527]

Great review!

[@mylifedeliberately]

Thanks, and thanks for watching.

[@gunterbecker8528]

Ñice video mate,I just to sharpen with that stihl 2in1 but have progressed to a single file sharpening, never looked back . After all it's all in the filling, can't bring that electric sharpening device into the woods 😊 ! Good luck with your new sharpening ways

[@mylifedeliberately]

Nice. I seem to get a better cut with the grinder than the file but agree, you can't take it in the woods. Still using the file in the woods for that reason plus using it occasionally helps cut down the rakers. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@scobiesview5137]

I use a file without a guide its fast and I have full control and I see everything if the chip rackers are high just check with the guide and usr a flat file. How does the grinder work in the paddock?

[@mylifedeliberately]

Just need a really long extension cord 😀. You are right, not good for field work. Still going to use the file for that. Thanks for watching!

[@hpw59]

doesn't look like you can do the depth gauge with it

[@deannielsen906]

It has depth

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Do chains last longer grinding or hand filing been thinking about getting a gronder

[@mylifedeliberately]

I don't have any conclusive evidence either way but would think that the grinder would take off more metal easier than filing so more likely to wear out the chain sooner.

[@TheReal1953]

Nothing was like a Silvey grinder. Now it's all wannabe grinders made in China. Some work well, some don't....tough field to negotiate.

[@mylifedeliberately]

Quality was high on my mind but was very pleased with the grinder. Thanks for watching.
