    I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

    *Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*

    I been cutting firewood as a business since 1979. I started out running Husqvarna 2100(99cc) and the 266xp. Never had a problem. One must understand the Husqvarna xp saws are a very high rpm. The chain must be razor sharp to get the best performance out of the saw, time is money. I make one pass with a file on every gas up. I like the cutting speed to be the fastest when felling trees. At the end of the day the air filter gets cleaned, the bar nose gets a shot of grease, once a week the clutch bearing gets greased, the bar gets checked squareness.

    Great video, very informative. I couldn't help but notice that, when looking at the gullet and stating what to look for (to see if it's 90 degrees from the rise of the gullet to the tip of the tooth), the angle on the chain wasn't 90 deg. Just wondering how important that is. (I'm guessing it's just a rough guide (maybe?) since you didn't mention that the angle wasn't 90 deg). Thank you again for a very informative video!

  • @jacquesblaque7728
    @jacquesblaque7728 2 года назад +1

    In my 50+ yrs experience of running & maintaining chainsaws, learning by doing, a file guide like Granberg's gets me the best results, by setting file ht and angle precisely. (To KISS I just file flat across.) No way otherwise, IME, can I do that. Without that guide, I need a stump vise to hold the bar so I can use two hands on the file. Granberg guide can be controlled with one hand. It can also be used to precisely set "joint"- depth gauge setting. Then you round leading edge of depth gauge with flat file. Generally, couple strokes per tooth every other fillup keeps chain sharp and consistent. Some have difficulty mastering that guide- the instructions suck- a friend to answer questions is a good idea a/r for comprehension probs. No way can I get such results with a grinder- they're for rocked chains. Also, chains and files seem to last a long time with Granberg guide. Rule 1: relax & engage brain. Good luck & fat chips.

  • @johnclarke6647
    @johnclarke6647 5 лет назад

    Chain sharpening. Mi look at the same things you do but I also look at the gullet. I feel the top edge, look at the gullett and scan the rakers to make sure they are below the top plate by about the gap on the spark plug. I usually put three strokes on the gullett and three strokes on the top plate. I have file guide sure but I usually file free hand with just a file unless the cutters have been really dulled off and I need to reset the angle of the cutters.
