You stud you! I haven’t actually tried this new (to me) Oregon sharpener yet. I have used my old bench mount sharpener a bunch. Usually I do 2-3 chains at a whack, and always have a spare at the ready when in the middle of a job. It knocks them out very quickly. Most of the time I’m just cutting redwood, butter knife hardness. Sometimes I cut ground.
Currently though I have all my winter tree cleanup done, firewood stack is full, and actually gone without the wood stove for a week or two of this heat wave. This winter I’m sure I’ll be giving more effort into chainsaw work and spend some time trying various methods. Hand file is a great idea, I’ll get one now.

Quoting: paulz hat’s what we have now, 20something F550 4x4
Here’s the rig that replaced the old truck that lives with me now.
Still doing what I can to pitch in for the department, this week I donated some redwood I had milled years ago for my cabin deck, to replace the rotting sidewalk at the firehouse.

Paulz ,your old saws don’t start when warm because the crank seals are done and are sucking air .Its very common with old 2 stroke equipment that doesn’t get used for long periods .

Very interesting Bruce. That’s crossed my mind too but never read anything to back it up. Thanks for bringing it up.
