How to Sharpen Chain Saw Chains
1. Use the table in the Dremel Chainsaw Sharpening Kit to figure out which Dremel sharpening bit you need to use with your chainsaw.
2. Attach the Dremel Sharpening Guide and the bit to your Dremel.
3. Mark the tooth on the chainsaw chain where you want to start with a black marker.
4. Put on Heavy Duty gloves to protect your hands from sharp blades.
5. Use the Dremel Sharpening guide to keep the Dremel level and at the correct angle for the tooth you are sharpening. Turn on the Dremel and sharpen that tooth.
6. Make sure you sharpen each tooth on the chain for the same amount of time (to a count of 10, for example) to keep the teeth evenly sharpened. Even teeth cut straight lines!
7. Every other tooth on the chainsaw is in the same direction. The ones in between are sharpened in the other direction on your sharpening guide. So, be sure to pay attention to the direction of the tooth when sharpening.
8. Sharpen each tooth on the chainsaw blade until you are back at the black mark you put on the first tooth.

This is a chain for homeowner saws, and as a homeowner in the Southeast who doesn't really count wood by the cord ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbs4FIpzuLyOJe2SesfbtvXi1CTnUXroD I have this (or 20BPX) on several saws at different levels of smallness. I've never felt that the safety chain is holding me back. I buy multiple chains, and when the installed one doesn't feel grabby enough, I file it, then throw it in a cup of gasoline while I rotate to the next one. I have yet to file one down to the wear lines, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth, and I'm happy about this new 3-pack - although, at this rate, it's going to be awhile before I buy another. I don't know why I would try anything else.
Been using dremel method for twenty years, even marked the starting tooth with a black sharpie. You really don’t need the guide tool, visual works fine.
After 20 years, you probably get pretty great at eyeballing this kind of work. :)
@@AbbottsAtHome 👍💯🙋
Very nice. Bought this same kit and watched your video. Great explanation, short and to the point. Chainsaw cuts like new now!
Fantastic! Thanks for the comment. :)
In the middle of cutting up some 6” branches and saw was getting slow. Came in to sharpen and wondered if I could use my Dremel instead of a file. Turns out I already had the sharpening kit; I followed your instructions and now the saw cuts like new. Saved me tons of time!
Very helpful and informative. Thanks
You're welcome!
This will hopefully help my hubby. Since going blind I’ve had to buy new chains for his saws. I bought the Dremel sharpening kit so now all he has to do is follow your instructions. Hopefully. Crossing fingers n stuff! Awesome straightforward instructions. Thank you!
Thanks!!!
Nice demo!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍
Perfectly described 👍
Thanks!
Just bought it from Amazon. Great kit, I really prefer it over the handsharpener, been doing that for 5 years now. And never going back to that :) Thx for the instructions. Greetings from Holland!
Hello in Holland!!! I hope you’re all enjoying a lovely summer.
Awesome ending! Love the slow-mo laugh!
Thanks! Me too!
I have had one of those for about 20 years. Maybe I will try it!
I always touch mine up with hand files. Been doing it that way for ever.
If you give this sharpener a try, let me know what you think about hand files vs the dremel sharpener. I'd love to know. :)
Thanks for the share 👍🏴
You’re welcome!!!
Very well done and extremely helpful - thank you!!!
Thanks!
Hi thank you for making this video it was a great help
Regards
Steve UK London
Happy it helped! Cheers
I sharpen my chains with a rotary tool too. I’ve never seen that guide before. Looks handy for anyone getting started sharpening. Good demo.
Note: chainsaws don’t have “blades”.
Cheers. 🇨🇦
Thanks! The use of the word “blade” is really for the people that search using that word. Sometimes RUclips video titles are picked based on how people search. 🤓
Yea , and snow throwers dont blow.
Looks like a great idea. Anyone able to comment about how many chain sharpens from a Dremel bit? My saw is 14" Stihl MS-180.
Thank you for this. I do not have the guide attatchment yet, but what I have noticed is finding subpar (off brand) grinding stones that are more of a pain than using a file. I have a Husq 445 and 435.
Yep, sometimes the brand name is worth paying for. Good luck with it. 😊
When the grinding stones wore out on mine, I replaced them with diamond coated metal bits. They are reasonably priced and last much longer.
I’ll check them out. Good tip!
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Muito bom! Parabéns pelo vídeo, sou do sul do Brasil.
Thanks!
That saw looks like its been tru the forest a few times. Do you use a guide or free file the rakers?
Haha you should have had your son narrate the whole episode! I quite liked the end hahaha!!! =)
Thanks. 🤣
Does drimel turn into the curve or away from the curve?
I'm using my dremel with a cheapo 5/32" diamond burr wheel instead of stones on my cheapo chinese guide. Makes chain extra-sharp.

What is his bit's size?
You don't mention setting the guide plate so the grinding stone's circumference is 25% above the cutting edge of the tooth.
Then the guide plate rests on the cutter tooth so the cutting edge is ground at the correct angle.
Common mistake is grinding a Parrot's tooth shaped cutter which will dull quickly.
Good tip. One short video can't cover everything. I always recommend watching multiple videos and ALWAYS reading user manuals and directions on tools to get a complete understanding of a DIY.
This drilling machine is very good, but where will it be found? Can you tell me and what is the name of this drill machine?
Here's a link to the Dremel Sharpening Kit: amzn.to/3X2DLtX The tool is called a Dremel.
i have a husgvarna 61 chainsaw which dremel sharpening blade should i use for 34 teeth 3/8''
5.5mm

From where do we get it and cast
You can get the sharpening kit on Amazon. :)

Where can I buy such a grinder pad
Here's the link to the Dremel sharpening kit: amzn.to/2RHmzLn
Oregon already makes these. Not recommended for all chain types. Good for Stihl and Oregon chains. The Husqvarna H40 are specially hardened and the use of an improper grade file or power operated dremel will weaken the chain. The Husqvarna requires a certain course grade of file and has to be a carbide type only available at chainsaw shops. Don't use Oregon dremel attachments for Husqvarna. Oregons dremel tool also comes with a guide plate and flat file attachment.
What speed do you like to run your Dremel at
When sharpening chain I keep mine on high.
This happened to my buddy Eric
the front teeth look like they are very sharpe and shiney
Hiii
Was
_Was not_
Can barely hear you bud.
Try a TV. The volume control is much better. 👍
Knives and swords have blades. Chainsaws have a bar.
You sharpen the chain on a chainsaw. But, YT tells me that some people use the word "blade" to find this video. Keeping it in the title helps them. 👍
The cutting edge of a chainsaw chain is a blade.
I call it a steel cutty thingy
And attached to the bar is a what?....chain. with?.....BLADES😮😮
A good demo. Using a glove and goggles to sharpen but cutting down a big tree with a 20" bar in shorts. One way to commit suicide in a very nasty way.
Thanks for the compliment. As for my husband cutting down a tree, he has done this so many times, I trust his judgement. 👍
@@AbbottsAtHome Dont worry, trust hes had experience. Wearing jeans wont stop a 20" bar going thru your leg, its important to know how to use it.
@@Brandon-rg8ko Thanks!
