I dislike working on small screens, it shows only portions of large screen, like the Quick Reply box.

I don't do my best to post without errors. Trying to do better. Wish reading and writing wasn't confined to a little bit of the TH screen. If you're only after one-liners, it doesn't matter. If you want to discuss something, you about need to use Word and 'cut and paste' to the Reply box. I...

I've heard a decent round filing beats rookie square filing. It's good for cutting timber. Personally, I use it, then round file it. Too many other things to learn, now.

On the side-plate, you want an even, round " C-shape", not "Italicized C-shape". Some are better than others. 10% of the file above the top-plate.

I showed my ground-man the 4x's zoom. He was astonished. I can spot a not sharp chain from far away. I think in part because I had really good eyesight and bright Nevada sun to learn by. From the blurry picture, I'd guess every front-working corner is bent down. Round-top, aka chipper chain...
