Was cleaning saws and filing chains before putting everything up and came across this one. It's one single tooth on the entire 24" Oregon LGX chain. The entire corner is gone. I'm still in the learning stages of grinding chains but so far so good. What's the best course of action for this one? Grind it back and do them all the same or can I avoid that some how?
One cutter just grind or file it back and set that raker. No need to kill a lot of chain life for one cutter. If it was half the cutters on that side then I would do something to the whole chain.
I would just grind it to the same length as the others and call it good. It'll clean up after a few sharpenings.
That one tooth won't hurt anything if it's a little shorter. Mike said it best. Get that one in good shape and just do the rest of the chain as you normally would. Was that on the 372xpw? How is that beast running? Man I want one bad...
Thanks all. Yep that was on the 372xpw.....and it's wicked good dude. Every time I run it, it's like falling in love all over again!
Me too, if my old Boss didn't just tell me $1100 for a new 661CM, I would be all over the member designed auction saw. Good luck !
No, but next go around on sharpening, then it means either it won't get sharpened (ie... what I suggested for this go around), or having to remove a bunch of metal from the other teeth so it does,... or I guess sharpening it short until the chain is used up.
