    So, the other day a buddy of mine was saying he needed 2 saw chains sharpened. I told him I had a grinder and sharpen all my own and the chains at work also. He asked if I would sharpen his, and I said no prob and he threw them in my truck. I looked at them when I got home and well, I guess I have never sharpened chains with these triple humped goofy looking rakers. How do you handle these rakers?

    Just like you would any other. Take the tail of the triple humped tie-strap down at least as far as the raker or my personal favorite, just grind 'em off.
