    I mentioned in another thread not having mastered use of the Stihl 2-in-1 file guide gizmo. This below is the technique I have been using and but it's not working for me, I'm doing something wrong. This fellow is very eager and gets it done. I like easy and it seems simple enough with this gadget. I've got a real good wrist action like him. What's up?



    EDIT: Guys... for the treat of your life, watch 30 seconds of the video above.

    This thread has a lot of views and nobody is commenting. Good chance you guys are not watching any of that video. It's amazing, lol! Get your 2021 started off right!

    EDIT: I see Lastmohecken was posting same time I was, lol. You watched it!

    Wow! There's hitting metal when cutting rounds....then there's that guy doing the same by hand. Wonder how many chains he goes through a season?

    First confusing post of ‘21. :tears:

    Search for info on a progressive raker gauge. It will maintain the depth gauges perfectly.




    Fast forward to 16:00 on this one.

    Is this vid for real? I could not get the audio to play but watching it was enough! The way he uses a file is doing no favors for the chain, file or himself. Maybe with audio the joke is explained. :picard:

    The post is a joke. The way the guy in the video uses the 2-in-1 with the hard back-and-forth motion is crazy. I have no idea if he is serious or not. Youtube commenters gave him hell, lol.

    I couldn’t make it past the first ten seconds of him filing both directions and using it like a scrub brush.

    Wow, that's some dry humor right there. If it wasn't for the screen text right before he filed it, I would have taken this guy seriously.

    Gotcha. As soon as I hear someone drag a file backwards I’m out, so I didn’t watch very long.
