Get a couple spare chains while you're at it. Can't let a rock shut you down.

 

[441_Stihl]

yes tom I'm gonna file it again tomorrow if dont help go to dealer let him sharpen it and buy a chain

 

[stihl 440]

chain

Are you trying to file out rocked teeth by hand?

That's how you get good, when you're out logging/cutting and you rock a chain 3/4 of a mile in the woods, you file it. You should just take the 15-20 min to file it there, instead of wasting fuel/energy to go back to truck, get chain and go back. Filing just takes practice, I know my first couple chains of hand filed work looked like s:censored: then they just kept getting better as I learned and taught myself new techniques. I'll tell you what this site has also taught me a lot, didn't think I could learn that much more about chain filing, but I did. Which chain did you dull stan, RSC3?

 

[441_Stihl]

ive filed it just like all the other,and they cut good.

 

[sawinredneck]

I won't leave the house with a saw unless I have three sharp chains! I have been there too many times!
