From a guy who co-owned a farm and timber acreage for 3 decades, your vids are superb, accurate, informative and HONEST, I give you 4 thumbs up... wait, I gotta borrow a couple thumbs, but you get the idea. Long live ingenuity and spirit!
Vintage Wranglerstar. Still enjoying the channel and Codys success but these were the glory days of the channel in my opinion.
Would certainly like to see a video on making chain loops and the breaker tool. That sure is a nifty sharpening system, all the more better they're produced in the USA.
I don't currently own a chain saw, but I'm considering buying one, and I'm ALL about simple and easy maintenance. :) Please do show how to create your own chains from the roll as well.
$70 seems like a reasonable price for something well made that will save you time and increase productivity. If I did the chainsaw thing, I would certainly look into getting one.
would love a video describing the different types of chainsaw chains out there to use, an things that make them different..., also how to make a chain.... an shorten a chain.. tools needed an such... again love your vids cody, it shows you take pride in making a good quality video...
Yes! Please make a video showing us how to make our own chains!
I would enjoy seeing a video on making a chain...I have never used a chainsaw but i do enjoy the videos and who knows maybe one day this knowledge will help
Yes, show us how to cut and spice chain and show us the different chains and what they mean and do!!! Thanks
I have been looking for a sharpener like this. Great video!
thank you for doing videos like this, i really enjoy watching your videos its very informative and teaches me things. its like how to do videos so i thank you.
Thanks Cody. I'd love to see the process of making up your own chains
This sharpener will make sharpening a pleasure to do and get a consistently sharp correct chain. I would like to see a video on making up chains and also on the Alaskan mill.

You just now realized there are gigs to sharpen saw chains? Come on Mr Wranglerstar you've got to be joking?? The 12v granberg looks like a GREAT improvement over the 20 dollar model but no wonder the milling projects have been on the back burner. Now with sharp chains all the time we expect one this month... A nice video of how to use it and very close up which helped alot.
Dave, fantastic video. I have sharpened many a chain only to have it pull one way or another.
That's one great tool. I'm sold.
I'm getting one right now. thank you for the great video. love your channel
Love to see chains being made
If I ever buy a saw, this would be for me. Back in the days with federal german disaster relief , I was really skilled to get a dull chain even more dull. :D
I have been thinking of making my own chains and would love to see you do the video.
I wish I had this for my guys to work on the saws at the FD. Would've made life easier for them.
I love anything chain-saw or chain-saw mill related! Bring it on. Speaking of milling, we are patiently waiting to see what sort of timberframe building you are building. I thought it might be a sauna....how long are you going to keep us in suspense????? Inquiring minds want to know!
most definitely I would love to see you make a roll of chain into a chain saw
Love to see how to make my own chains. Up here I am spending almost $40 for a 20" chain. Sharpening chains costs about $25 - $30 for the same chain and takes several weeks.
Any way to save some money and be able to get my saws back up in much less time is a plus for sure.
I have used the file type Granburg and also the Oregon copy-cat in the past.. In the field, I use a file with wood handle to touch-up every other tank of fuel or so. Then the jig to make sure all angles and lengths are same, probably after many such touch ups. I find I do pretty well with the file and eyeballing as there is very little correction applied by the jig and I do not cut rainbows. BUT, either I have been mounting the jigs on the blade bassawkward or you are.I think you have it backward as my old instruction sheets show the jig mounted with the stop plate behind the cutter tooth, NOT in front of the depth gauge. But, your way seems to work for you, although it seems awkward to see you push the stone through the nose of the upper corner of the cutters.Very good video and narration!
i lot of seasoned cutters will intentionally use the files backwards.
they are less aggressive this way and give a finer edge.
I absolutely love all your videos!!! Thanks A Lot for posting them, they're very informative and educational.. I just got my Granberg a week ago and out of all the videos on RUclips about it "none" of them, specifically shows how to set the device up... Why?
I would love to see a video on how to make a chain for a chainsaw!
Thanks for the info, I will for sure look into buying this.
The saw shop I used to work for charged $7 for any chain on a 20 inch bar and below, $10 for up to 32 inch and $15 for larger. I would like to see the chain video. We didn't cut chains for people because no one ever asked for them, but I have an old homelite XL12 with a bow bar that needs a chain. No one will sell me the chain for it because they say they are too dangerous to run.
Please do a video on how to make up your own chains. BTW, I love your channel and how professional your videos are. Keep 'em coming!
I have always cut the rakers back further for my bigger saws just for the ad
ded cutting power.
Good info in the video thanks a lot. BTW its almost time for the Wranglerstar Q&A and top 10
Graet video.Definitely going to by one.
Thank you cody.
yes please do a DIY chain makeing vid I will be saved here automaticly for future use
Thanks...I'll have to watch a few more times. Yes, I would like to see how to make a chain myself.
Yes, please show us how to make our own chain.
I would love to see how you would go about making your own chain.
Mr Cody I have been hand sharpening my saws for 20 years and would never ever let a grinding wheel touch my saws I run stihl 460 and 660 and 020t and my large saws run 28 32 and 36 in bars all skip tooth that video is great but truly for the home owner don't get me wrong they have there place but not for me.
I've been hand filing for 30 years. The grinder is more precise and faster. I'm not dogmatic. If I find a better way I go with it.
Well I personal think I can get a better sharpening with my hand file than any grinder but that's just my opinion don't get me wrong Mr Cody you inspire me I have a lot of respect for you you home stead you a fire fighter in truly have a lot of respect I just personally think I can get a better edge on a chain that is hand filed than a grinder it just like your awesome sharping stone you only break them out on the important stuff well I only use stihl files because I believe there the best perferd file and huskvarna flies are crap
i cut as a hobbyist not a pro. but i have tools for my tools. ie tool nut.
i also used only hand sharpen my chain saw chains b/c grinders take off too much material and "most" have too much power and heat can ruin the steel temper.
this 12 volt grinder is different you can control the amt. of material removed and by minimizing the material removed you drastically lower the heat and dont weaken the chain tooth.
i took this a step further and use a dremmel with speed control with a 600 grit diamond bit.
use low speed. once you use a 600 grit diamond bit you wil never use a file again.
the diamond bit gets the tooth far sharper than new. in fact i had to reduce the amt i take off the "rakers" b/c the saw bites too hard.
i am in florida and found that on really hot days when you are cutting non-stop the saw and chain would get hot and need a rest. now with the chain 98% perfect i can run indefinitely and chain and bar are noticeably cooler. and yes my fuel and oil etc. are adjusted etc.
the way i found this out was my friends all had dull tortured chains and i offered to sharpen. well they were so bad i said hell with file ill use a dremmel they dont care and they abuse tools etc. at least they will have a usable saw.
i used a 200 grit diamond all around then 600 grit diamond. can sharpen chain in 5-10 min this way but i considered it BS. only did it on their saws. well son of a gun their saw was cutting better than my saw, lol
mine was already sharp so used the 600 grit diamond in a guide and just touched it up. dam my saw was throwing chips 8-10 feet. it was cutting so fast and kicking so hard it concerned me.
i then switched chains with one that was newer and had untouched raker used the 600 grit diamond and got supper cut without the bite and kick!
go ahead take two identical chains use a file on one
600 grit diamond on the second.
then use on a 3-4 foot log.
use a stop watch and measure the chip distance
i guarantee chips will be 1-2 foot further.
and you will knock 5-8 seconds off the cut.
multiple this by 8 hours of cutting and you will get more done with less fatigue.
you guys are pros. so you know how much physical punishment a larger saw dishes out over 10-12 hours.
i can always tell a pro cutter. he is the guy that sharpens his saw 3+ times a day.
Thanks for the tip
thank you and many other posters.
i always learn alot on different boards and youtube etc.
example i was unaware that sthil was using those "plastic" main bearings
so after reading i took the exhaust off my saws and looked in the cylinder. dam it the one saw had what looked like a gray graphite on the piston wall.
disassembled saw and the main bearing was just starting to go bad. without that info i would have run the saw until ruined.
$20 and 5 hours back in action.
Great video, very informative.
I love your videos and i just want to say thank you so much.!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i cant wait to start milling and making cheap cheap cheap cold frames for my community, lol
I live in florida, but still.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm gonna buy the stihl 660 36 inch bar dude i cant wait.
I've watched your vids and BC Fellers safety coarse.
Yes I would like to see how to make my own chain loops.
With a 20, 25 and 32 inch bars I make my own chain loops and will never go back.
I am really interest in more chainsaw videos
Great review on what appears to be a great, AMERICAN product. You know what I liked best about these 2 videos? Right at the start you admit that your first impression out-of-the-box was "No way. This is Rubbish". But then you gave it a shot and admitted to us how your initial evaluation was dead-wrong. I love that about you Cody. Straight shooting. Just the facts. No bull.
And YES we want to see you make a chain!
I think would be a cool vid...You have my vote.
Alright I got mine on Saturday, by Saturday night my chainsaw is all sharp and happy. Man that does work great. One slight problem with mine.
The quality of the guide piece is not as high as it should be. Its rough and wasn't sliding back and forth like yours in the video. It would bind. I took some polishing compound and dremel to it and polished it up. After that it was ok.
Oil or a little grease helps on the ones that use a file. They are tight when new.
Have you ever used the Timberline Chainsaw Shaprener it is much like this one.
I would love to see the making of a loop.
Ok great video and looking to buy this product because I believe your honesty and advice but...
How long do the stones last? and how do I know when I need a new stone? and how do I know what stone to use on what chain?
Thank you sir and God bless from Ontario Canada
I would like to see you make your own chain Cody!
would love to see how to make up a new chain!
I'd be interested in more vids on the Alaskan mill and about the ripping chains. Can you buy Canon rolls and how to put together.
Always love anything about homesteading , etc.
i do not rip lumber cody but we heat with nothing but wood every year it cost me 3 dollars to sharpen a chain at my local hardware store however i do sale some fire wood and i end up sharpening my chain many times a yr I love the idea of being able to sharpen my own chain it saves time aswell as gas from having to run to town i would love to learn more about chains making them and wat different types of chains that r out there educate me plzz
I would like to see you make up some chains, or anything else logging related.
I got one because of you Cody, and I love it. Where can I get new stones from???
Sure I would like to see you make your own chain.
You are absolutely dead on right about Granberg's instructions-- they're awful. I wanted to send it back until I found your tutorial.
And, you're right about it being a great tool.
Do you have any info about sharpening for ripping cuts?
Please show how to make the chain.
Absolutly make the video on making chain!
would love to see ya make up some chain. Keep it up
I would like to see you make some chains. Liked the video by the way
I would love to see you make a chains.
Thanks and please make some chain up
Yes would like to see you makeup a loop.
yes please show us the way...
Wish i could find some thing like that in newzealand . How do you no each tooth gets the same rotation sharpen?? For even wear ??
Would love to see it
yep show us how to make the chains up. i have a Sthil grinder like that without the guide i am jealous.
Using the chainsaw properly how long should a chain stay sharp?
Do the video on the chain break
Where do you guys stand with the adoption process?
Yup just had a ( That's why it didn't work) Moment !!! Thanks for the video
It would be great if you could make up a few chains.
When I get a new chain it usually sends long ribbons of sawdust flying.Does the angle of the grind have something to do with difference in saw dust and the way the chain cuts?
it has everything to do with the cut. so does the style of chain. depth, size of teeth spacing etc. etc.
i only use 3 angles and i dont do any ripping. ripping, using the chainsaw mill is completely different from cutting logs and i know nothing about ripping will deffer to pros that do alot of that.
but some of the OCD pros have a dozen different chains. and 3 to 5 different saws. usually 2 small and 3 large.
and they may have several different bars.
pros will use different saws and chains for different trees. every minute detail matters when you cut 60 hours a week for a living.
this said my best example of a clear cut difference is live healthy tree
and a old dead tree.
if cutting large soft wood tree i might use a 45 degree.
but old dead oak 45 degree would be insane. i would use small 30 degrees for dead oak.
all this said 30 degrees is a common default.
if you have a larger more powerful saw and are impatient you can incr. angle more 35-40 degrees (note more angle =more kick=exponential incr. safety wise.
smaller saw less power 30-25 degrees.
another note if want clean precise cuts like when making fences or using landscape ties use small chain, small teeth small angle like 20 degrees.
MR.wranglerstar I would really like to see how you make a chainsaw chain if I can make one and don't have to buy one already made not that I don't want to support the local saw shop I just like to do more for myself
Are you still enjoying this fine tool? :)
Where can I buy one I live in Australia what is it called
Let's see you make some chains!
Go ahead with the chain making video
Yes please share the chain making. olllllllllo
make some chains and let us know the price of the tool please
OF COURSE we want to see how to make chains! Don't you think it's silly to even ask?
is there a way to file/sharpen the chains that arent on the saw?
if you have an extra bar
or take the bar off the saw
but you need the bar to hold the chain in correct position
Yeah, I'd like to see how to make my own chain, I can't get ripping chain here for my mill, I have to buy it from the US, so I should be making my own chain, shouldn't I.
Domo
Mechanized chain sharpeners have their place, but I think any good logger/woodsman will also learn how to sharpen with hand files. Anything mechanical can and WILL fail. I have had files break while out in the forest, and I have been able to sharpen my chain with the broken in half file.
So true, I might add always keep an old worn out chain in your truck just in case you need an emergency chain to cut the last few logs. I will often drive 100 miles to get into some good birch and don't like to leave until I am very full.
todd Brewer I generally have 3-5 chains and a spare bar (also bar nuts) on hand.
never know when you might get your bar & chain stuck in a log, when that happens it's good to have a spare to cut yourself back out with.
USSNAFU Good plan. I have 2 saws with me but same effect. What is your preferred saw/saws?
todd Brewer Only saw I currently have is an 044 Mag R with a 28" Bar (Old but cuts like a cutting torch through butter) [will be adding a 32" B&C soon] {2 vids of it on my channel}, hoping to add a 660CM (when they come out, (or a 066/660Mag if I find a good deal on one) for the bigger stuff & for an Alaskan mill, and a 241 for light duty when I can afford them.
floatpool still make me laugh after all these years. but my PD130 engine outruns either replacement model stuck in the garage for a new pump or a new brain, and this 120si i dont know, lopes like a direwolf, sings like a baritone mermaid. does the si mean siren? can't get enough of it. efficiency isn't everything but this saw kinda is. oh and it doesn't need sharpening I keep it in a pyramid made of buckyballs
How can you get 12 chains on a 25 inch bar with a 25 foot roll? More like 6 chains.
Files cut in one direction only. Dragging it back like that is lazy and wears the file out prematurely. Cody must have too much money to throw away.
I'd like to see a video discussing/explaining the merits of different pitches and chain gauges. I can't remember you doing a video specifically on this. I know it's been discussed some, but I find it confusing.
I just purchased my first chainsaw 2 weeks ago. Thank you so much for this video.
I'm learning a lot here Cody, show us how to make up a chain, please... b
Ditto what Woodenarrows says.
Integrity. What a word. What a concept. It built America. As integrity dwindled so did America. Thank you Sir for helping pull us up from this slough of despond. God bless you and yours.
Hey Cody I've had the Alaska Chainsaw Mill for 20 years, I love it. I've always made my own motorcycle chains, I'd love to see how to make chainsaw chains, thanks for sharing.
Perfect timing, I'm building my kit list for my first chainsaw purchase (a Stihl 261 as per your other recommendations). Definitely would love to see the use of the breaker tool for building your own chains. Also if you could share some wisdom about the differences in chains and what you use where and why I would be even more in your debt! Thanks again Cody
I have had the ms261 for a couple years now.Very nice saw! Stihls website has lots of useful chain recommendations for the specific model and application.
Steven Hardy thanks, I'll check it out!
Steven Hardy
One of the best, probably the best I ever had. Stihl Ms261.
You won't regret a 261. I just purchased one a couple weeks ago and I am very impressed so far.
olsno26 awesome to hear. Did you buy dealer direct? I found some online stores which appear to have cheaper prices..
would like to see the chain making video
Yes we would love to see you make some chains. Great video!!
A video making chains would be good :)
And maybe when you next service your chainsaw a video of that would be cool, thanks for the doing these videos they are very useful and fun to watch *****
anyone can hand file a chain just watch a couple youtube videos . its not as hard as Cody makes it out to be.
another thing . a chainsaw doesnt have a blade, its uses a bar and chain. Hence the name CHAIN-saw.
Bandsaw blades can most definitely be done by yourself. They also make grinding jigs. Cody do some research before you make statements like that. I have a friend with a Wood Mizer and he grinds all his blades. And if you know what you are doing, you can sliver solder broken bands.
The more I watch this channel the more I realize I don't know a dang thing
Good video. I see the 30° angle but is there an adjustment for the pitch? The chains I use have a 10° pitch and a 30° and 35° angle.
Same question--there is a pitch angle isn't there?
Yes you can adjust for pitch,
