I’m a big fan of the roller guides. The depth gauges are ok and depth gauges in general I find kill your raker file quicker. I’ll use them as a check if my chain is a little off but not on a regular.

Saw shops grind cheap compared to new purchases of chain. Since guy near me sells once-dulled chain rather than sharpening.

You are a good neighbor, Rich. Everybody needs them, but not everybody has them.

Did some garage organizing yesterday while it dumped snow all day long. 22 inches is what the weather service is claiming. I call BS but there is still a lot. Started clearing the drive with the broom on the BMG and I managed to hit something and broke it. Carried it inside to thaw and welded...

The Stihl guide with the depth gauge file included seems like it works well also.

The husky roller guide work good but I don’t think they will work with all brands, I have one for 3/8th’s and the .325LP and the both have depth gauges attached, and when I started using them my chain was a lot sharper than my hand file, but I’m only a year into my journey so I’m sure eventually...

I started filing with one of those sheet metal oregon guides. It never seemed like they quite got the right file depth, so I started hand filing. I can do a pretty fair job of it. My mechanic bud just goes and buys a new chain. I told him about those file guides, but he wasn't really...

Catface n stuff, still got it 45° to the lean. Just a tapered hinge.

Y'all might plug "liability" into the search function...there are multiple threads on the subject. Not to dissuade anyone from giving you input, not at all.

Depends on how you pronounce "i"

Same -other Dave

My friend who works for a tree company here in NC asked me to get liability insurance so he can use me when he needs me and pay me as an independent contractor instead of hourly on their companies. Is liability all I need when doing tree work? What liability would experienced climbers...

Good to read you, sir

"Rim"? Or do you perhaps mean "ream"?

hi I start cutting a bit on the top of logs then vertically at the back about a third of log then rim all the way down

I use JB Holdway’s idea of using a golf ball as a file handle. Works great.

This kind. It says 3/17 I always assumed they were universal tho.

I’m talking about the generic one that comes in any sharpening set you see on Amazon…. I can hand file…. Well I think I can I just want to see how my chain compares to one used with the guide…. And I just flat out can’t file the little 1/4” pico stuff on my pole saw so there’s that.
