As a beginner to sharpening chain saws, I've pick up some valuable information watching you. I have struggled with hand sharpening but watching your video I'm feeling very confident that my problems are soon to be over. I'm ordering that tool today. Thankyou 👍👍👍👍👍
I have been using the diamond bits in my Dremel tool and am pleased with the results. One thing I have learned is that the rotation of the bit with respect to the tooth is important. Rotation should be such that the bit is grinding from the, "top-down". This makes a better cutting edge because it eliminated the feather rollover that occurs when the tool is grinding from the, "bottom-up". This is counter intuitive because one would normally want to grind bottom-up to keep the tool from rising up out of the gullet. Care must be taken to keep the tool in the gullet, but with these bits a very light touch is all that is needed. So developing technique has a small learning curve.
I love those bits. Ive bought several packs of different sizes and use them in my dremel for sharpening my chains. They come in different colors and different grits. They doake things easy
OK, I’m not going to ignore the elephant in the living room any longer, your sharpened chain looks terrible and I fast forwarded to the end to see if you had a demonstration of cutting after sharpening but you did not. There’s nothing wrong with grinders except this one would be a dealbreaker for me since it is not cordless. I would buy the bits and chuck them in a Dremel instead. Your teeth have no gullet.
You are right I have no idea what I am doing, I am just a beginner, I only have been cutting firewood now for 50 years and only cut, split and sell 600 face cords a year. I only shoot, edit and upload one video every day now for almost 2 years and have 700 videos on my channel showing everything about cutting splitting and selling firewood. SO I went to your channel to see how to do it right, as seen as I know nothing and I did not see any videos displaying your extensive knowledge, I did not see any videos, do you have another channel name that has all of your expertise for the world to critique? Thanks for watching and sharing your tips.
OK so you can add sarcasm to your long list of talents. All I’m saying is that with what you showed me on the video, those teeth will not efficiently cut firewood. I have been at it just as long as you have, and I know how to file a chain with a variety of methods and tools but I can tell you that a tooth that has no gullet and is sloping backwards will not cut well; just ask Bucking Billy Ray.
Well this was an interesting little tiff. I clicked on this comment because I had the same thought as did the other gentleman. You are loosing the gullet while you were filing. I’ve been using a grandberg 12 volt sharpener for about 15 years. I pretty much threw my files away. What I discovered and you probably have as well since this video is about a year old. You need down pressure to keep the gullet and about 20% of the bit above the top of the tooth. It all comes naturally after a few shapings. The reason I like the grandberg is they have threaded bits and the bits don’t slip out just like the problem you had. Long story short, I love sharpening with an electric sharpener. Fast, and very sharp. What I want to know is how the bits hold up? The diamond bits I’ve found were not aggressive enough for reshaping after hitting the ground or a nail. What do you think after a years use?
Another great video. You introduced me into the Dremel, thankyou very much, it cuts like buttah. You have now introduced me to the diamond crusted burr. My comment being 2 years after this video, may I ask, are you still using the diamond burrs or have you gone back to the stones? Thanks. Big Mike, tampa
Hey Chris Got a ezz doo a couple weeks ago. Love it. Sharpened about 10 chains so far. Probably not recommended but I used it on my rakers, took em down just a bit. Soooo fast I love it!!
I like my Oregon sharpener. It’s ability to be used from the any power outlet on a truck or side by side is great. Plus it comes with alligator clips so it can easily be run off of any battery out in the field.
I have this! I sharpen all my chains. I have a friend that PAYS an average of $20 PER CHAIN to have a tractor-selling store that also sells chainsaws to sharpen his!!! Aaaaackk! Do it yourself, people! I leave mine on the saw, lock the bar, mark the beginning tooth and the last tooth with a sharpie, and file away BOTH directions while standing in front. It takes about 6 minutes for my 14" and 8 minutes for my 20" chains. Easy.
At my place of work we use a CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) grinding wheels on our surface grinder. They are well worth the cost and far better than your standard abrasive grinding wheels.
I bought one of these, tried it for a half hour yesterday. I wasn’t that impressed, bent one of the bits right away. I can see see that I am going to have to play with this quite a bit, there is a learning curve.
I came back and watched this video now that I have used mine once, I don’t get the impression that my bits cut as well as what I saw here. Headed back out to the shop to try it again, I’ll let you know
Forgot that I watched this before. Great to see it again! I've been Dremel sharpening my Chains for many years! I found it to be much faster and far more convenient than a hand file. I previously used one of several older model corded Dremels and generic mini-grinders. Then got a cordless Dremel 8220 w/ a backup Li-ion battery, so I've got plenty of power and run time w/o having to use or worry about a cord. I also found that although the cylindrical stone grinder bits worked okay, the diamond bits worked faster and lasted longer for about the same price.
I've been touting the attributes of diamond bits and carbide chains ever since Stihl introduced their's a decade ago. Many high volume tree cutting companies use them for most of their cutting because they are so much easier to maintain.
I got the smoked firehouse saw 15 years ago or more and it’s got the hooked nose bar and the real carbide tipped chain… I adapted it to a different saw and on a 12” caliber tree I’ll just cut right into the ground and cut the three laterals and push the whole tree down… a 5 gallon bucket of dirt and seed and there’s no grinding of a stump… I’ve done 3’ diameter trees without a problem… I absolutely love kicking a piece of limerock that I’ve cut three inches into a I can still cut wood! For years I’ve used diamond hand files to resharpen! I just bought one of these jobbers with these little round burrs or wheels!!! These are better than they should be!
Two great advantages: you dont have to put the saw in a vice, you dont have to file from alternate sides, switching the blade around. So the advantage of this over the Dremel or similar is...
I recently tried out using the dremel with those bits for my chains and i like it. Huge time saver. Only big learning curve i found is you gotta pay attention to the angles you hold it at and the right amount of manipulation or You could end up digging downward too deep or being too high into the tooth loosing the gullet. Great vids man! GNI!
I ran my chain into the ground for a good 20-30 seconds a few weeks ago and man did it chip/round off one side of teeth real bad. I sharpened it back a bit using my Stihl 2in1 but man it took awhile. This thing would have been zippy zip!! Thanks for posting Chris!
@@InTheWoodyard do you know if the 7/32” shanks fit into a regular Dremel arbor? Yes I’d imagine I would have been able to use and sharpen the chain quite a bit more had I not had to file 1/2 way back the tooth to get rid of the broken tooth’s
Thanks Chris-my wife just bought one for me after i told her my neighbor had a file that he used and I wished there was an easier way! Looks like there is!
Chris, you do not have an angle guide attachment on. Do you find that freehand provides sufficient accuracy? I am thinking of using my cordless Dremel; I could buy a Dremel attachment and stones or these diamond ones. I used an Oregon Sure Sharp battery operated gizmo yesterday and I liked it except that the sharpening stone gizmo kept coming out even when tightened well. Heck with that, maybe it's worn out, I bought it used. Lastly, do you still like these diamond ones or the Oregon stone ones better?
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I was surprised when you pulled out the EZZDOO out. Because I actually bought one of them a few months ago. I only had a 30 year old dremel that I was using. I also bought a bunch of different diamond titanium bits for it right away. Those bits are really nice compared to the stone bits. They don't plug up with metal and don't groove out in the middle. I really like mine so far. Take care and stay warm my friend!! TTYL!! Logger Al
I use the same style 7/32” bits in my dremel. They work well, but do wear out just like the Oregon bits…just don’t take as much pressure to do the job. My wife’s not impressed that I’m buying gold and Diamond encrusted tools for working on my chainsaw. Oh and she’s always hitting me with the Pleezzzdo list.🤣
Cool tool Chris , I used to work at an outdoor equipment dealer and sold the 12 volt Oregonians and bits . I may get one , I really like the diamond bits that are Available with it . Nice demonstration
68 Degrees here in Raleigh today , 11hours of daylight here after valentines and we pickup 2 minutes a day and only gets better after Valentine’s Day for those of us that work out side ! Time changes March 13th can’t hardly wait .
Chris I really like your Channel I feel you have more common sense than most people. Because of your Channel I've learnt about the Easton made log splitters been doing some research on them getting together the options I wanted went to order one yesterday and they have raised the prices on the 1222 $1,500 from their website they have updated the website now so if you're thinking about getting one the prices just went up.
Chris, that would have been handy after the last couple of days. Working that creekline, i hit a lot of metal. Sharpening by hand took time out of my day. With an invertor, that would have made quick work! Great video on the EZZ DOO. Those diamond stones are not wallered out like the regular stones. Great demonstration!
the same Chainsaw Sharpening Attachment, is sold without the rotary tool, but with the bits, for as little as $3.99 on Amazon..... for anyone who does not want to buy another dremel/rotary tool.... and do not want to make a RUclips video, so they can get it for free lol
Great job on this. Always great to see new things. Giving me something else to purchase however. Might be why my wife says I watch to much RUclips. I enjoy your video’s very much and it’s like checking on a friend to see what they are up to and I always learn something.
Thanks Jack, good to here! Tell your wife you are doing research so that you don't buy the wrong item and overspend on getting more stuff than you need!
Not at all downing things It's a glorified Dremel Since I own a Dremel I got the kit for it does not cost much does exactly the same thing just don't have the diamond sharpener in the kit although it can be gotten for it latter These kits off Amazon are useful but some times we like to use what we have to save a few bucks Some that works for me and can be for some one else I do apologize if it sounds negative
Almost looks like you're using a 7/32 bit for 3/8 saw chain on 0.254 chain which is giving that ski ramp shape. Maybe it's just not hitting the bottom of the gullet causing that effect. I just bought a kit to go with my Milwaukee rotary / Dremel style tool. Probably should have just bought the bits. But just looking at technique. I think it'll just take some time probably similar to you using this tool which appears to be for the first time for you as well. I did a test run and I don't think my diamond bits cut as deep as those look like they're doing. Chain cut ok, but definitely not as good as hand filling so I've got some work to do still on this method. I just bought a cheap kit off eBay. I have since gone and gotten the Oregon bits to try them next. Appreciate your video!
It feels like your taking an alot of metal off each tooth for just 1 sharpening! You'll be replacing that chain after 1 more sharpening using that thing
@@InTheWoodyard I just ordered several different bit sets a couple of long diamond files and one of these kits… I’ve used the Hong Kong diamond longer files for the past 7-8 years instead of regular files because they cut both directions so you can lock your wrist and saw the tooth sharp.. three files in 7/32… 50-150-300 grit… I use the 300 every other tank to run around the chain and stay razor sharp!!! These together will be perfect!!! My fire rescue carbide chain lots me cut out stumps!!! It’s awesome
@@InTheWoodyard I’m really kinda excited to see how they will handle running at a full carbide tipped chain??? It’s usually about $50 bucks apiece to have these sharpened because the company runs the diamond wheel… I was just looking and it’s a chunk of carbide on the cutter tooth and it’s rake is normal steel so I’ll be able to use the normal mill file to hit the rakes! If it’s a big stump and get about one done per chain sharpen…and if you dull them down completely then it’s a really nightmare to hand file these back to razor sharp… so I’m super hopeful that this little gizmo knocks them back to sharp!!! 😂👍. Can you please tell the company that I’d be more than happy to make a video too for a free unit!!! Dude!!! You hit a lick on that deal!!! And you definitely have made a very good and honest and straight forward video!!! Anyone who doesn’t see how much faster you were able to sharpen up your chain with this unit over a regular file doesn’t do much hand sharpening!!! Excellent video,Sir!!!
I know this video is a year old but felt obligated to make my first comment Chris. You are definitely no dummy by any measure ... you were simply ignorant in this situation (LMFAO). You have and awesome channel brother ... respect is earned ... and you have it in spades. Tight chains ... and always get the gullet when sharpening. For the record, looks like you file the rakers differently on each side (at least on this chain). SO ... keep the dremel and buy the diamond bits.
Taking a lot of material off. Defiantly not for me. I use a cordless version for touch ups which is a lot slower and less powerful but I don’t have to worry about loosing 1/3 of my tooth. Hahah
You know there was nothing like this on the market when I used to sharpen the old Lombard's, McCulloch's and Homelite's. We had nothing but wrist action back then. But of course we were concentrating more on walking into the woods in three feet of snow uphill both ways.......you know the deal. Say hello to Irene for me.
The difference between a normally sharp chain and cat-claw sharp is staggering. Normal sharp lasts one tank. Cat-claw sharp lasts a good two tanks of fuel.
An ice storm came through last week causing downed trees all over the city. I used my saw that was getting dull on them helping neighbors. So, instead of getting a new blade I’ll just try the EzzDoo, save a few bucks by avoiding replacing the blade a few times and let the EzzDoo pay for itself. Blades are about half as much as the EzzDoo itself, and I really like how fast the blade can be sharpened. Pretty good demonstration and it was right on time. Winter isn’t over just yet. 😉
Always used a file rather than these high speed gizmo's. Someone old me years ago that using these machines tend to super heat the edges making them brittle. Now I'm not so sure. Does it Yes or No? If anyone knows the truth please enlighten.
So there is a real reason why i sub to ur channel Chris i just watched another video sslfamilydad working with the same new saw sharpener. Ur video so much more detailed he never even says bout the diamond stones and his camera bounces around lol keep up the great vids loce ya mean it gni
Nice to see you got sent a product to try out. As we know you'll give it an honest review. I'd like to know if the longevity of the stones is that much better than the Oregon stones before I buy any. Keep us posted on that. Nice shout-out to Buck'n about getting the gullet! Dave
Do the bits actually contain diamond? The manufacturer's spec states 'titanium coated silicon carbide' though I see the box says diamond. Diamond is not recommended for powered sharpening of steel.
Yea but, I find it oddly satisfying to hand file a semi chisel chain... Doesn't take long and when the saw throws a monster plume of chips, ahh... nothin better. IMO...
I have over 1200 videos on my channel with hundreds of chainsaw cutting video, ALL of the saws in the videos are sharpened the same way every time in those videos, check them out!
Looks like a good tool. I could be wrong but I think you're grinding off more than you need to. Also it doesn't appear you're always holding it at the same angle. Probably sharp though. 👍🏼
To be the first QR code in the instructions, I would’ve preferred to see how to select the right bit and use the “angel” attachment. Nice unboxing video, though…
Chris nice video!! What kind of chains do you use? I assume Oregon since your running the bars? It seems all serious would people change their bars to Oregon bars for some reason? I don’t know why that is do you know why that is? I guess they’re better than stihl or Husqvarna?
Hi Chris I have a stihl ms181 on my 2nd chain and using the stihl all in one tool that does the teeth and raker at same time. Seems to work well for me. Was wondering if after sharpening with the material removed whether the chain needs cleaning or degreasing to remove the excess material ?
The apparatus the bit fits into and is tightened is called the “collet”, if anyone cares😊
Yes! Thanks, I could not remember it!

As a beginner to sharpening chain saws, I've pick up some valuable information watching you.
I have struggled with hand sharpening but watching your video I'm feeling very confident that my problems are soon to be over. I'm ordering that tool today.
Thankyou 👍👍👍👍👍
I now use a Dremel tool most of the time, it works great too.
I have been using the diamond bits in my Dremel tool and am pleased with the results. One thing I have learned is that the rotation of the bit with respect to the tooth is important. Rotation should be such that the bit is grinding from the, "top-down". This makes a better cutting edge because it eliminated the feather rollover that occurs when the tool is grinding from the, "bottom-up". This is counter intuitive because one would normally want to grind bottom-up to keep the tool from rising up out of the gullet. Care must be taken to keep the tool in the gullet, but with these bits a very light touch is all that is needed. So developing technique has a small learning curve.
Yup, there is a certain learning curve to the correct touch to get the tooth sharp, but it is much easier than hand filing!

The Oregon bits are the best I think.
I use both a grinder and files. When I rock a chain badly the grinder comes out. For less serious touch ups I'll usually file.
Sounds like a good system...keep cutting!

Great job on this. Always great to see new things. Giving me something else to purchase however. Might be why my wife says I watch to much RUclips. I enjoy your video’s very much and it’s like checking on a friend to see what they are up to and I always learn something.
Thanks Jack, good to here! Tell your wife you are doing research so that you don't buy the wrong item and overspend on getting more stuff than you need!
Not at all downing things
It's a glorified Dremel
Since I own a Dremel I got the kit for it does not cost much does exactly the same thing just don't have the diamond sharpener in the kit although it can be gotten for it latter
These kits off Amazon are useful but some times we like to use what we have to save a few bucks Some that works for me and can be for some one else
I do apologize if it sounds negative
No worries, I have 4 Dremels too, they all work great!
Way much better, not heating up cutter tooth like the stone did..👍👍
It seems so!
Almost looks like you're using a 7/32 bit for 3/8 saw chain on 0.254 chain which is giving that ski ramp shape. Maybe it's just not hitting the bottom of the gullet causing that effect.
I just bought a kit to go with my Milwaukee rotary / Dremel style tool. Probably should have just bought the bits. But just looking at technique. I think it'll just take some time probably similar to you using this tool which appears to be for the first time for you as well. I did a test run and I don't think my diamond bits cut as deep as those look like they're doing. Chain cut ok, but definitely not as good as hand filling so I've got some work to do still on this method. I just bought a cheap kit off eBay. I have since gone and gotten the Oregon bits to try them next. Appreciate your video!
Yup, the Oregon stone bits work better.
I use a milwaukee die grinder with those diamond sharpeners ,works great..
Yup, way faster easier and better than a old file!
at my country this diamond bit cost me 3 dollar for 12 pieces. connected it to my air die grinder and work done. cheap and easy
Good to hear!
What's your thoughts on these bits and the grinder now 9 months later?
I prefer the Oregon stone bits better.
It feels like your taking an alot of metal off each tooth for just 1 sharpening! You'll be replacing that chain after 1 more sharpening using that thing
It was an older chain with bad damage to show the tool working, on a quick touch up I do not do much to it.
How can you keep the chain teeth with this. Meaning all the same length? That kind of defeats the prupose.
I don't. They do not need to be the same length to cut great. But the rakers do.
Those bits look freaking awesome!!! That’s fast!!!
They do work good!
@@InTheWoodyard I just ordered several different bit sets a couple of long diamond files and one of these kits… I’ve used the Hong Kong diamond longer files for the past 7-8 years instead of regular files because they cut both directions so you can lock your wrist and saw the tooth sharp.. three files in 7/32… 50-150-300 grit… I use the 300 every other tank to run around the chain and stay razor sharp!!! These together will be perfect!!! My fire rescue carbide chain lots me cut out stumps!!! It’s awesome
@@InTheWoodyard hey buddy… I like your channel too!!!
@@InTheWoodyard I’m really kinda excited to see how they will handle running at a full carbide tipped chain??? It’s usually about $50 bucks apiece to have these sharpened because the company runs the diamond wheel… I was just looking and it’s a chunk of carbide on the cutter tooth and it’s rake is normal steel so I’ll be able to use the normal mill file to hit the rakes! If it’s a big stump and get about one done per chain sharpen…and if you dull them down completely then it’s a really nightmare to hand file these back to razor sharp… so I’m super hopeful that this little gizmo knocks them back to sharp!!! 😂👍. Can you please tell the company that I’d be more than happy to make a video too for a free unit!!! Dude!!! You hit a lick on that deal!!! And you definitely have made a very good and honest and straight forward video!!! Anyone who doesn’t see how much faster you were able to sharpen up your chain with this unit over a regular file doesn’t do much hand sharpening!!! Excellent video,Sir!!!
Thanks for the video. You should be keeping the Cutter parallel with that little Line on the back of the Tooth.
Yup, I do.
I like to have 1 too I already see best way to sharpen chainsaw chain. Like it Chris. Good video. Have a great day be safe.
Thanks, you too!
I know this video is a year old but felt obligated to make my first comment Chris. You are definitely no dummy by any measure ... you were simply ignorant in this situation (LMFAO). You have and awesome channel brother ... respect is earned ... and you have it in spades. Tight chains ... and always get the gullet when sharpening. For the record, looks like you file the rakers differently on each side (at least on this chain). SO ... keep the dremel and buy the diamond bits.
Thanks for that and thanks for watching Barry!
Taking a lot of material off. Defiantly not for me. I use a cordless version for touch ups which is a lot slower and less powerful but I don’t have to worry about loosing 1/3 of my tooth. Hahah
It took a lot off because the teeth were really bad, normally I just touch it up a bit.
I still like the Milwaukee 12v variable speed rotary tool for almost all of my chain maintenance.
They do make nice stuff but they did not send me one to use....yet.
@@InTheWoodyard sometimes it's worth it to buy what you need instead of waiting for someone to give it to you. 😆
You know there was nothing like this on the market when I used to sharpen the old Lombard's, McCulloch's and Homelite's. We had nothing but wrist action back then. But of course we were concentrating more on walking into the woods in three feet of snow uphill both ways.......you know the deal. Say hello to Irene for me.
Yup, I used to walk though that same snow to school as a kid for 5 miles up hill both ways every day!
Sharp chains are great just like your videos, Chris!
The difference between a normally sharp chain and cat-claw sharp is staggering. Normal sharp lasts one tank. Cat-claw sharp lasts a good two tanks of fuel.
Yes, some times or until you hit a rock!
Thanks other Chris!
Dremel has had that out already. A lot cheaper to add the the chain saw sharper guide to it.
Yup, I have 4 of them also! They all work great!
The chain does cut faster when the sharpening bit is turning into the blade in my testing
okay.
An ice storm came through last week causing downed trees all over the city. I used my saw that was getting dull on them helping neighbors. So, instead of getting a new blade I’ll just try the EzzDoo, save a few bucks by avoiding replacing the blade a few times and let the EzzDoo pay for itself. Blades are about half as much as the EzzDoo itself, and I really like how fast the blade can be sharpened.
Pretty good demonstration and it was right on time. Winter isn’t over just yet. 😉
Thanks for watching Everett!
Blade? CHAIN.
I ordered one from Amazon and wow ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The teeth are beyond cat claw sharp. The 500I never cut so good.
Good to hear! Hope you enjoy it!
I have been teaching myself how to flat file by hand and wow my saw rips
That is good!
Always used a file rather than these high speed gizmo's. Someone old me years ago that using these machines tend to super heat the edges making them brittle. Now I'm not so sure. Does it Yes or No? If anyone knows the truth please enlighten.
I stopped using a file to sharpen about 5 years ago, never had a problem at all, and I cut about 200 full cords of firewood a year.
@@InTheWoodyard thanks, maybe its time for me to join the 21st century.
Cool tool! Thanks for the demo! -Brad
Thanks for watching!
why didn't you use the angle guide, not necessary?
Not for me, I have been sharpening like this for years, to me it gets in the way.
According to reviews on Amazon the bur is only good for one or two sharpenings.
I get 6-8 depending on the tooth condition
I guess you will know how to sharpen a chain with all these experts looking over your shoulder.
Haha
Yup, lots of arm chair players!
Some teeth were the equivalent of 10 back and forths, others as much as 20. How does that affect the depth of cut adjustment on the "rakers"?
I was just just getting them sharp. But yes, the shorter the tooth gets the more the rakers need to come down....usually.
I like this Tool. Nice Job Chris.
It does work well!
So there is a real reason why i sub to ur channel Chris i just watched another video sslfamilydad working with the same new saw sharpener. Ur video so much more detailed he never even says bout the diamond stones and his camera bounces around lol keep up the great vids loce ya mean it gni
Thanks for the kind words Ed!
besides being yellow, how is it different than a dremel?
not much!
Id love too have a few of those bits!!!
Order them on Amazon.
Nice to see you got sent a product to try out. As we know you'll give it an honest review. I'd like to know if the longevity of the stones is that much better than the Oregon stones before I buy any. Keep us posted on that. Nice shout-out to Buck'n about getting the gullet! Dave
What I like is they keep their shape ...so far.
Ok ok I will try the diamond bits in my dremel!!!🤣🤣 Good review Chris . GNI
Thanks Mike, how is the deep freeze tonight?
@@InTheWoodyard Heading below zero I believe!!
I ordered some bits to try. Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching!
Nice vid man but why no links in the description of the tool bits and brushes ?
Sorry, try google.
Do the bits actually contain diamond? The manufacturer's spec states 'titanium coated silicon carbide' though I see the box says diamond. Diamond is not recommended for powered sharpening of steel.
I do not know, I prefer the Oregon bits.
I use the stihl 2 in 1 sharpener chain cuts like new takes me bout 10 min on 18 in bar and it's affordable
Nice but that is about 9 minutes loner than the dremel.
Great stuff Chris 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
i'll definitely be looking for some of these bits! i have quite a few dremels already! great vid chris!
Go for it!
Yea but, I find it oddly satisfying to hand file a semi chisel chain...
Doesn't take long and when the saw throws a monster plume of chips, ahh... nothin better.
IMO...
Yea but, it takes a lot of time and if you are sharpening 3 or 4 saws at a time it takes a lot of time AND energy that could be put into cutting more.
I think I've been using a bit too small for the tooth.
Maybe so, check it at a pro saw shop to be sure.
NOW YOU NEED TO SHOW US HOW THE CHAINSAW CUTS WOOD.
I have over 1200 videos on my channel with hundreds of chainsaw cutting video, ALL of the saws in the videos are sharpened the same way every time in those videos, check them out!
Some people just don't have the patience. For me sharpening, earther way is fine. Both do the same thing.
Will the bits fit in a Dremel tool ? I have the Dremel tool, just need to buy some bits for $13
Yup, they do...but I prefer the Oregon 7/32 stone bits myself, $6-7 for 3.
@@InTheWoodyard how long do the bits last ?
How do I know what size teeth are on my chain?
The saw bar should have it on it but maybe even better take it to a pro shop and ask them.
Nicely done Chris.. I may look into this as I get towards cutting more.. Currently I am hand filing and I am getting really good at it too..
Yup, the more you do anything the better you get at it!
Good morning Chris, that bit looks like the cats meow!
It does work....so far.
Cordless drill on slow speed in reverse only take file cut on thirds razor sharp in less than 5 minutes 24 inch bar
Yup, that works too!
Yes sir if u have a drill def helps to save cash and w fuel prices get cutting people I'm already 9 cords shooting for 20
Looks like a good tool. I could be wrong but I think you're grinding off more than you need to. Also it doesn't appear you're always holding it at the same angle. Probably sharp though. 👍🏼
Yup, maybe so. And yes they are sharp.
Hey Chris nice video. The only thing I was waiting for you to get out and try the experiment by cutting some logs after sharpening the chain.
Great point!
@@InTheWoodyard by the way Chris you have the best firewood 🪵🔥 channel out there and I follow about 5 of them.
To be the first QR code in the instructions, I would’ve preferred to see how to select the right bit and use the “angel” attachment. Nice unboxing video, though…
Thanks for the tip!
Wow that thing works really great! I would definitely have to be super careful or I’d grind the teeth totally off my chain! 😆
No, you would figure it out, I did and I am the dumbest guy I know.
Great Sharpener!
Thanks!
Chris nice video!! What kind of chains do you use? I assume Oregon since your running the bars? It seems all serious would people change their bars to Oregon bars for some reason? I don’t know why that is do you know why that is? I guess they’re better than stihl or Husqvarna?
Cheaper! That is it. The Husqvarna chains are awesome, just cost more.
Hi Chris I have a stihl ms181 on my 2nd chain and using the stihl all in one tool that does the teeth and raker at same time. Seems to work well for me. Was wondering if after sharpening with the material removed whether the chain needs cleaning or degreasing to remove the excess material ?
Nope, just run it like you stole it! Thanks for watching!
With my bad shoulder I know use a dremel with same type of attachment for sharpening saws know
That is great, it works good!
Best video I've seen in how to sharpen chain saw blade real pro
Thanks!
