    No. "Top brass" do not need to know nothing but command.
    It is the basis of OCS--delegate skills to those who can do. You manage.
    " You gotta know what you don't know". Rule # 1, Rule #2, Rule ......
    Screw grinding.:faint::faint:
    Bring a electric grinder in the woods ? Filing BTW won't "burn" the chain.

    Knowing how to grind won't burn chains either. But in your case of being on the itty bitty bar committee you have maybe what 5 teeth to file so filing may work out faster.

    Just zoomed in w/ my iPhone. No special attachments. Sometimes I use my old printers loop to show the fine edge.

    Does this 12" bar qualify for that committee? Ill admit im a secretary. Been freehand filing for years now. Used a guide for years until chains started having witness marks. My eye is pretty good for the angle...if i remember to have my readers with me! IMG_2902.JPG
