I hate it as well but it does hold an edge longer in dirty cutting.

Semi-chisel?

I've said that from the start.

Black? Last I heard, Jesus wasn't even that skilled with a 2 dollar round file.

Of course. I've never cared that all cutters be equal size. As long as the depth gauges are down the same distance, I could never see tooth length being overly critical.

I say what half the TH'ers are thinking. Trust me. About half of them have come to me to validate that.

It's all in good sport fellas.

You missed the point. Shocking. Let me step it down a whisker. The box that a chain comes in states the best angle according to the manufacturer. If the buyer reads the box, he/she now knows as much as the next person. Is that knowledge of any use if it can't be applied uniformly from...

If I tell you the angles for optimum cutting, are they useful if you can't consistently make them?

Magnus, the best I can offer is to come visit me and I will get you on the road to sharper chains. In the mean time, I'm away visiting family for the holiday. Merry Christmas to you, or whatever holiday you celebrate. A happy new year to you as well. May it be a successful year filled with more...

You're absolutely right. I would be happy to teach you more.

Maybe so Willard, but much like tying my shoes, there's a way I go about it and it works extremely well, so its hard to justify making a change. I am a creature of habit with my methods. Just like when they tried to breathe GOL style saw starting down my neck a bunch of years back. It wasnt...

I do not. Have I? Yes. Can I? Somewhat.

I'm the only one I know that files that way. More then one person has given me a funny look.

Cory, I hold the bar with my left hand and file with my right. I don't use a file handle. It has nothing to do with manliness though. When i started making attempts to file chain as a kid, that's how I want about it and like many things in life, you end up doing it the only way you know. Because...

Regardless, carry on. And wear gloves.

You're pretty much wrong. I like the optimistic spin on cultural differences. Cultur differences and poor social skills are not the same.

Magnus, I think you'd gain a better audience to the ideas and tools you share here if you weren't as condescending. I'm sir you've noticed, as I've listened to you complain about how no one wants to listen to you here. Truthfully, you have a lot to offer. You're clearly a top expert in the area...

After you taught him, did practice hone his skill? Or were his skills complete after the lesson?

These chains Magnus speaks of sound like nothing I've ever seen in the 30 years I've been exposed to the tree care and logging industry. They sound incredible. I wish my chains could slice entirely though a finger nail by lightly dragging the nail across it. The problem I have is that I cannot...
