Pfft, not only do I not sharpen my Chainsaw blades, I don't even start mine to use it
I don’t have any trees big enough to need a chainsaw.I seriously cant see how the hell a man can get by without a chainsaw and welder...
I'm forever needing mine for different things..
Cant imagine not owning either
You forgot your Mesquite log at my place.I don’t have any trees big enough to need a chainsaw.
Oh good point. Now I need a chainsaw.You forgot your Mesquite log at my place.
A file.Up to now, I have it done at a small shop, but the cost to do so, produces a less sharp than new blade, but yes, better than trying to use a dull blade.
The economics of having it done is almost not worth it compared to buying new or learning to do it myself. Not something I've ever been interested in, until lately.
So, what do you do?
Have it done or do it yourself?
If you do it yourself, what do think the best tool to do is?
The Stihl 2 in 1 Sharpener or ...?
Thanks!
They have chains, with teeth.Do chain saws have chains ............. or blades?
I don't think I've ever seen one with a blade.
I built bird houses with chainsaw and a drill.Chainsaws come in handy for other work, like a 27' X 20' deck I'm going to have to take down this coming cool weather time.
It's made of 2" X 6" planks and the C.S. will make much shorter work of it.
Though to be sure, some of the them I'll harvest whole for a few tables I plan to make. These planks I put in new only 2 years ago, so they're in very good condition. I'll be using my Skilsaw on them.....The rest are pretty weather worn and will be removed via my C.S. and a bit of grunt work....
I do have some very large oak trees. Heck, just pruning the limbs produce 10"/12" firewood size logs.
Proper size file is all I use.
It takes a little practice, but it's just as fast and gives a longer lasting edge than anything else I've used.
