What is the best angle to sharpen a chainsaw?
It’s best to use 10 degrees for ripping with the grain and 25 to 35 degrees for cross cutting. If you’re cutting with the grain, you should use a 10 degree chain. They make a chain that can be cut at 10 degrees.
How many times can you sharpen a chainsaw chain?
If you want to keep the saw cutting in a straight line, you have to file each cutter with the same number of strokes and pressure. The chain can be replaced before the cutter issharpened.
What angle do you sharpen a .325 chain?
There is a reason that the bar chain was sharpened at 25 dergees on some of my previous saws. I don’t use it at all. I switched my large saws to sandard bars and chains because of 325. 30 degrees shouldn’t be a problem.
Why does my chainsaw cut on an angle?
The size of the top plates should be checked to see if they sit on the longer sections of the chain. The top plates need to be the same size. You should match the shorter ones with the longer ones. Curved cutting can be caused by angles that don’t match and you have to keep the same angle on the top plates.
