  • shouldnt you be grinding towards the cutting edge to avoid burring?

  • What's the prob w a pink chain saw?

  • hi everyone... the oiler on my chainsaw is not working, i have cleaned out the hole with no luck, is there anyway to use the saw with some kind of external oiler.. all advice is welcome.. many thanks.

  • Is that Pink???

  • @Wildmanhunter1 That is usually a result of having the teeth on one side of the chain being ground differently than the other. Get behind the saw, sharpen tooth by tooth, alternating hands on the file. If you see a tooth that looks longer than the average, file it down. You want all your teeth the same length.

  • @aux1z11 does it matter what color it is?its a STIHL!

  • I own a sawmill so I do quite a bit of log sawing and tree felling. I don't own a chain file. I do all my sharpening on the bench with a nice chain grinder. Just carry extra chains with you. If your chain is cutting crooked then it may be that one side has less tooth left than the other. You can eyeball them or put a caliper on them. You gotta keep the teeth the same size. That's another good reason to use the bench grinder -- consistency. Nice vid.

  • Nice Pink chainsaw you got there ? Pink doesnt mix well with tools !

  • If your saw is cutting crooked, it is usually due to having run the chain too loose and the chain has caused the bar to no longer be flat along the chain channel It can be resolved by taking a flat file and leveling the rails on the chain channel until they are perfectly flat and perpendicular to the bar (90 degrees).

  • I'm new at sharpening saws. my saw cuts to the right. any advise on how to get it cutting strait.
