... There is a lot of theories on sharping chains. I pretty much stick with 30 degrees on all cutters. I may occassionaly chane the pitch by a degree or two...
you got choices in life take what is offered or dare to be different. They say going to grandmas house is not what is fun, it is the trip to get there. Now...
My theory is a sharp edge at any angle is better than a dull edge even of a good angle. The lower the angle the weaker the edge. 30 degrees sounds like a...

Paul, I tend to agree with you, especialy in hardwoods. There is one error that I have made through out the years, my son is ten fold worse than me, but...
bill, here is something the group appears to be constantly missing, the harder the wood and wider the log, then the more teeth you have in the kerf. ...
I use 5 > 7 degrees and can mill 15 x 30" slabs 14ft long between sharpenings with a 5 skip toothed chain, speak to lucasmill as they have sold about 7,000 all...
... Harley, someday I should put a lot of your pictures on a cD , take it to town and post them, as my internet is just too slao. You hit a nail directly on...
Hello All, I love the summer activity on the board this year. It has gotten me excited about milling again. I just recently had to pay to get my Stihl 066...
Kelly If you have White Oak it is the most weather durable of the three. As to the finish no clear finish holds up well in the sun and weather in general....
I'm in the Ohio Valley, so essentially the same weather as you. The Clear finish seems to be holding up well on my test "Redwood" boards that I put out last...
Well after beating on my poor little chain saw slabbing that last log I decided to resharpen the chain and broke out my cheesy Wen chainsaw sharpener to do it....
I think you must be referring to something else. Not even razor blades are such low angle! 12 degrees is about as low as metallics go and still be useful. And...
all chains are standard at 90 degrees, they are then sharpened by grinding/filing some from the right angle. I am a scientist, when you remove 5 > 7 degrees...
I've read a few reviews that really praised this hand powered sharpener. Clamps to the bar and you hand crank a special cutter. Seems that despite great...
it reminds me of those little dremmel stones that wear thinner the more you use them. very similar to the stones used to sharpen the band-saw blades on the...
My first shot at milling was with an Alaskan that came with a Dremel type stone and another key component, Kool Grind. Looks like a paint pencil of wax that's...
Dennis , What has become of Paul William ? Last I remember he was in Houston. If I remember correctly, he use to have a lot of good imput for the occassioonal,...

One face of the chain tooth is parallel with the bar. My chainsaw sharpener claims it puts a 30 degree angle onto the tooth in that plane. And it appears to be...
I think 30 degrees is fairly standard for general cross-cut sawing which is how the vast majority of users use a chainsaw. For rip sawing with a chainsaw, I...
Hi Guys, Currently I do work with a old bandmill. Wat I was thinking is buying a swingblade mill and cut some timber locally in the woods. If someone has a...
suggestion is that you own a Lucasmill from Australia or a Peterson Mill from New Zealand. do not waste you time with anything else. i have 7,000 photos of...

Norwood now has an "industrial" sharpener that uses a 4-1/2" grinding wheel, and runs off 110V or 12V. It's much heavier made than there std. model, and works...
