Perfect video! No long, drawn-out, self-promoting blah blah blah at the start like other videos on RUclips. Straight to the point, informative and helped me fix the problem that's been preventing me from turning a large tree into a month of firewood. Thank you! :-D
Homie, you saved me from just abandoning my current chain saw and buying another. I would probably just continue doing the wrong thing if your video wasn't recommended to me! Thanks for the info!
Excellent video. This is exactly what was happening to my chainsaw. The tensioner comes loose too easily, and until now I didn't realize that was the source of my dullness woes.
This is brilliant. I just couldn’t work out why my chainsaw wasn’t working even after adjusting the tension. Very succinct- I didn’t even have to take a week off work to watch it!!! Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
And remember it's a chain saw not chain trencher rocks will destroy your chain(i know the granite has done a few chains of mine in) and there's always unavoidable nails/ screws deep in wood. Good video friend
Yes, good explanation but what is the remedy. I have been fighting a 1/2 dozen blades on my Ego 16". Out of the box with their proprietary blade, it cuts very well. Once dull, and I've sharpened many a blade-perhaps wrong- and the blade doesn't cut and smokes. Check, clean, and verify oil delivery too. Would you know the specs on this chainsaw blade. Ego will not tell me. They'll only sell me. I hate them. I think the blade and bar are Oregon but even their customer support was B.S.
Firstly, well done, you're the first person I've ever seen do a RUclips video solely on this subject. Most people would say it's not cutting because the depth gauges are too long (which is also another cause). It's actually called a chainsaw 'bar', and the 'teeth' of the 'chain' are what you sharpen, not the 'blade'. The condition you show is actually caused by the teeth coming in contact with a foreign object, especially stones on the ground after you've cut through a log. I've had my chain adjusted correctly yet still emerged with the same condition. I think you'll find that if the chain was too loose then, as the tooth bit into the wood, the wood would tend to throw the front the tooth in a backwards attitude, not forward and down to cause the shoulder, as you suggest. Although half a tooth or more can go 'west' in one sitting, the remedy you prescribe is exactly correct, the tooth needs to be restored to it's original condition by completely filing or grinding it back past the damaged 'shoulder' part of the tooth... for there is no other way. Well done!
Thanks for your input and kind words. Nothing more frustrating than knowing your blade is sharp and it still doesn’t cut. I was working around the stump so it doesn’t surprise me that this would be caused By a foreign object or stones. There wasn’t much metal left after we corrected it once, our fix the second time was a new chain and keep a close eye on the tension. We eventually switch to a Salz all because of the foreign objects and stones. Thanks again for your input
Brand new chain fitted and within a few minutes blunt. I can now see why, chain not tightened enough causing the chamfer. Going to retighten chain and try it again see if it cuts.
Did chainsaw don't want to cutt if it is chain not oiled too?? mine chain&bar are very hot and barrelly go through or even not but not oiled too ., Is that be problem too
Good video, very informative...... However....... Chainsaws do NOT have a "blade"...... Chainsaws have a bar and a chain and the cutting bits on the chain are referred to as "teeth." Just so you will know for future videos....
I used saws over 40 years still do I seen this alot of times I never laugh at the people. One guy was ex Navy he steered a sub. he said they would be under the ice 3, 4 months of the year. He was also a college pro. when I met he. It's what you train at. If you see that happening take 1 maybe 2 strokes more with file on that side.
Lets build a super information network were all of humanity can access it's network! Immediately filled with dumb. Loose chain tension doesn't angle the tooth over (blade?) The tooth is made of chrome and steel, cutting wood will not bend steel! Cutting asphalt and rocks will.,which is what causes this.
I have never seen the "chamfered " edge, but I don't cut rock or asphalt. It does seem like doing so is the only likely way for that to occur. It would have to be something abrasive ( not wood )

Same here man I was stuck trying to figuring out what
Perfect video!!! Straight to the point...clear and well spoken and slow and thorough. Good job mate!!

You and me both bro I was going insane
This is brilliant. I just couldn’t work out why my chainsaw wasn’t working even after adjusting the tension.

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I am learning and this is great. I think you solved one issue of mine in this one. I have been puzzled after sharpening I get no results.
Thank you thank you thank you. Makes perfect sense and I'm going to check my blade now... I bet that's my issue.

What kinda trees are you cutting bro lol

Should I grind the top flat?

It's not a dam blade.
Brand new chain fitted and within a few minutes blunt. I can now see why, chain not tightened enough causing the chamfer. Going to retighten chain and try it again see if it cuts.
It clearly worked for me
As soon as I tightened the chain it stared to cut through wood like butter
Thank you, learned something today...
thank you, very clear, now i know what to look for!
Thank you so much❤
great vid my friend. short and concise...legendary 😎
Did chainsaw don't want to cutt if it is chain not oiled too?? mine chain&bar are very hot and barrelly go through or even not but not oiled too ., Is that be problem too
Thank you sir.
Thanks that explained alot with what I was dealing with
Great video!
Blade?
Thank you this helps a lot
Thanks for making the video.
What if it made of adamentium?
Fantastic... Well explained..thanks
Perfect thank you
I just have a real hard time taking anybody serious when they call a cutter a blade!😮
I bought a new chain and it still not cutting so whats that tjem
The chain is probably on the Wrong way. The blade that looks like a Shark fin needs to be going forward.
Is your bar flared? Lightly file off the lip if flares
Good video, very informative...... However....... Chainsaws do NOT have a "blade"...... Chainsaws have a bar and a chain and the cutting bits on the chain are referred to as "teeth." Just so you will know for future videos....
Thanks Karen
Karen's right if you want to give advice at least know the correct terminology
I found another reason why it may not cut, putting on wrong way round 🤫
Hands up, School boy error but thought I’d share my error 🤗
It happens to all of us don’t worry about it, now get out there and cut up some trees!
I used saws over 40 years still do I seen this alot of times I never laugh at the people. One guy was ex Navy he steered a sub. he said they would be under the ice 3, 4 months of the year. He was also a college pro. when I met he. It's what you train at. If you see that happening take 1 maybe 2 strokes more with file on that side.
I only have this issue with craftsman I’ll never buy another
Blade blade blade...it's a tooth! There are no blades on a chainsaw.
Anyway, thanks for the tips!
it's not a blade it's a chain
My chain was sharpened perfect and still didn't cut. I felt like a fool when I realized I put the chain on backwards. Shhh don't tell anybody.
First of all it is not a blade. Its a bar and chain
Best way test it a Jim but your junk on my chain
2021 still same shit
