Chainsaw sharpeners

Hi, I use an Efco sharpener(same as oregon) I have been using it for over 20 years, I never use a file as I didn't have good luck when I tried years ago.I usually take 2 saws to the woods when I go out to cut.I always take a spare chain for each but seldom need to change in the woods.Every evening I clean saws,turn bar over and put on the other chain. Then I sharpen chains i used that day and put them in can of diesel.in about 1/2 hr I'm all set for another day.Works for me anyway.I sold about 25 Cords of wood last year plus what I used about 4 cords. Ron

Chainsaw sharpeners

Several years ago,I sawed a large section of a cottenwood tree up for a neighbor 36in x 16 ft long into 1x12 1x10;1x8 and 1x6 boards . he stacked them in his basement garage with stickers and several truck tires on top and covered with plastic. in less than a year it was dry and he made some nice display cases for the local Cafe. said he only had one board that he could't use. When Cottenwood is dry you almost have to drill pilot hole to avoid splitting it.Ron

Chain comes in various thickness 050 058 063 and a newer one for lite duty sawsthat is only 043 thick on my sharpener, I have to change spacers in the clamp when I sharpen chain other than 050. Ron

The Tilt of 10 deg. is for full chisel chain.when the chain is formed it is bent 110 deg so that the cutting point is the hightest point on the tooth and the tooth slopes both to the rear (down)and toward the inside (down).
on Semi-chisel and chipper chain, set clamp at 90 deg. Ron

I forgot to answer which way to tilt the clamp. you want to make the top of the tooth level,so you push the bottom of the vise away from you for Right hand cutter,which raises the inside edge of tooth to level tooth. Pull it towards you for left hand cutters. Ron
