Square filing chains

Dang......how low are those rakers?

 

I been filing a little more tonight after a dishwasher install

Pump went out on the old one. That's the 3rd appliance we've replaced now in less than 2 years.

 

I think its the camera angle. I will check when I get home and let you know.

 

Do you just use those old outdated round files guys talk about to clean the gullet?

 

Yeah pretty much. I round filed a chain a few weeks ago for the comparison of round to square. I did touch up a milling chain with a round file.

 

Can u post a pic close up of one of ur faster round chains with tunneling?

 

I haven't tunneled any round chains. I don't know if I have any pictures of chains that got tunneled.

 

I can show you a round that's cleaned out deep, but nobody really tunnels a round..

Thanks Kevin, for those pics...
Something just dawned on me...


Mike...
That's a pretty tooth...

 

Wow.....that is a nasty cutter rite there

 

That was a work chain. Full comp 24". Took maybe 20-30 minutes to clean gullets and then touch up the teeth. I'll snap some pictures of some other chains laying around.

 

Wish I had a nickel for everytime I've said that to someone from Tennessee.

 

Kidding TN guys, I only joke around with people that I like lol .

 

We say KY here.

Smooth cutting round filed chain on the cherry. Ground work chain I found and put on the 372.

 

This was a speedy little chain for a lower HP saw..

 

1/2 of the side cutter is missing the file .......... on purpose ?
When you say speedy, do you mean high rpm on the saw, or fast to cut through with ?

 

look closer at what he did ,the side plate was filed thinner

 

You're not going to get the whole side plate with the double bevel files. They're no where near wide enough.

Brian are you getting Vallorbee files local?

 

It looks like 2 different side plate angles, like the filer intentionally didnt want to sharpen the whole height ............ maybe another pic from a different angle ?

 

I get the valorbe's at the saw shop across town mike ,they have them on the shelf ,they have the grinding wheels also for the silvey's ,want me grab some for you when i go next ?

 

What's the price on them?
