Who among us can ignore the siren song of a grinder?  I can't.

Still learning, but figured this might be good excuse as any to chat!  

If anyone has any tips/tricks I'm all ears.  Thanks everyone, hope you're all well!

Grinding Saw Chain! in Oregon! (620)

Recently bought a saw chain grinder; I thought it best to come talk to you about it asap. Legal disclaimer: I didn't sharpen these in Oregon, though I hear it's nice there. Just covering my search terms. Hope you understand.

Sharpen! Pft, I just push harder, like a real man.

Never own a chainsaw, never used a chainsaw, but still interested in your video!

I personally love grinding my butter knife rope. That's the proper term for a chain saw chain right?

I find the duller my blade the more wood I can burn through. I love the smell of 2 stroke exhaust and wood smoke in the morning.

I only used an battery extended chainsaw but haven't sharpened it yet. Regardless, always love your videos. I did install crown molding. My engineering son and me couldn't figure out the angle for life of us. We were always off by so much we were hysterical with laughter. An expert then showed me how to cut it without needing any special angles. It was easy. Please keep up the great videos. Would love to see some about your 3D printer experiences. Thanks for the entertainment.

I’ve had to use these an awful lot over the years while being the mechanic at a landscaping company. You can absolutely get a sharp chain, but the life of the chain is significantly reduced over hand-filing, and they tend to need to come back in a lot. I ended up switching to using a Dremel chainsaw grinding tool at the Christmas tree stand because it did as good of a job as the chainsaw grinder but was a million times faster and was as precise as a file if I wanted it to be.
