Got a chance to make a few practice cuts before it got dark in some hardwood logs with corrections made in the chain. Wow, what a difference now. The chain was cutting just as fast maybe even a little faster than the goof filed chain. I am quite pleased. It felt like when I first tried RS on a...

We are making more progress. Brian, I don't need a loop made. If you can spare a small length like 5 links so I can have a guide to by that would be great. This is the way I learned to round file by trying to make my teeth look like the way they do when a new chain was put on the saw. I'll...

Yes ,close to that Thanks Dave, you are pretty much answering my next question. Some of my better looking teeth are coming in at around 20 to 25 degrees. I didn't know if this was correct or not. I couldn't get pics of those. They were very blurry. I have been trying to maintain that 30 to...

Those are some very good pics Tzed. I see what your getting at. It took a bit of looking and comparing on my part. I'll see if I can improve a little more. This is the second refiling after the goof. The first refile was dissappointing cutting wood but after cutting I still was too low on...

Not quite sure what you mean. I think I know what your getting at though. Since my first goof I haven't filed the tooth back as far as it should or could be. To be honest I am running out of chain to file on this saw. Do I have this corner business right???

I don't know what is harder taking pictures of chainsaw cutters or trying to square file them. I feel like I am filing a race chain. It takes some doing to work with that double beveled file. You have to be watching three things at once, the corner, the top plate inside and outside angle plus...

I am with you guys now. If I explain this right. From Madsens pics. It looked like the top of the bevel on the file was suppose to line up with the working corner. Which is why I was low on the sideplate. Now I see that where the two bevels meet on the file is suppose to line up with the working...

That is why I am asking if I have the right file for doing this. The file I have is the same as in those pics from Madsens and I was filing the same as the pics showed. Earlier in the thread Swe#kipp showed a different file. I can see that with his file it is easier to get the side plate to...

I might get into this square filing a little more. I redid the other day's filing that was done on the back of a truck and did it on the bench with a vise. Big difference and easier. Did some test cuts in a Elm log which isn't as hard as the Oak. I was quite pleased with how fast the chain cut...

Brian, that 5-10 % gain is realistic. I feel I am getting that. Maybe I am being over realistic in what to gain from square filing. When I first squared filed I thought to myself "Oh Boy this baby is going to do some cutting now". I had visions of one of those hot saws going through a softwood...

I have tried square filing also. I may have given up on it prematurely after reading this thread. The tip given to file opposite of the way round filing is done never accured to me even though I have heard and seen filing a chain in this way. I tried this filing method with the files I had...
