    Put a new chain on my saw but wondering what grind I should use. Seems kind of dull even though I never hit anything. :rofl: :lol:

    Looks like someone has a lot of time on their hands. Put a triangle sawtooth grind on it.

    You need more "hook" and drop the angle back to 25 degrees.

    Make a better vice to hold it for grinding while you are at it Kevin.:p:whistle::rofl: :lol:

    Looks about as sharp as my neighbor's chains when he's done mutilating them with a file.

    As luck would have it, I found a system that will hold the chain tight will I file it. :dancer:
