chainsaw not cutting

[Hillbilly3995]

I agree with the check your bar assessment, I expect it to need dressing.:chainsawguy:

got to looking at things and noticed the grinding wheel on my sharpener was rounded, flipped it, sharpened a chain, cut a log and straight through like a new one, i dont know if thats a normal thing you have to do but it worked, im sure someone knows if thats normal

 

[stonykill]

good. Glad you resolved the issue.....

Yes, you have to dress the wheel to maintain the proper radius. Flipping also helps.

That doesn't totally explain why your chains weren't cutting, but all's well that ends well. Thanks for the update.

 

[961kyle]

what would the proper way to dress the wheel be?

i dont know whats goin, i sharpened the chains, did the rakers, doubled and triple checked to make sure the chain is on right, got a different log, started cutting, and same thing, in a few inches then just spinning chain, went through 2 chains, 2 different logs, think im just going to go get a bar chain combo and see if that will help, not sure whatelse it would be, i have sharpened my own chains for 3 years now and have never had any problems with them

This is a dumb thought, but I've seen it done.

Did you put the chain on backwards?:newbie:

I think you could get a lot more help by posting a pic.

They makes stones for dressing wheels. Try this Bailey's CBN wheel cleaning stick

What happens is the wheel wears mostly on the side and not the tip. This changes the angle slightly. The problem could be exaggerated if the grinding depth is too shallow.

I'm having a hard time picturing a wheel worn so bad that the cutting angles are totally dysfunctional, but I suppose anything is possible.

Now I'm wonderin if he sharpened the back of the cutters....

i see your from georgia so its not your fault you have words come out of your mouth that might not sound to intelligent to the rest of the world but no i didnt sharpen the back of the cutters, i flipped my grinding wheel and no more problems, thanks to everyone for the ideas, appreciate the help (ahh the good ol south)

 

[betterbuilt]

I still say post a pic. You can prove that you weren't sharpening the back of the cutters.

 

[961kyle]

what is with you and pictures? get over it, problem is solved

Whatever! I still doesn't make any sense that it wasn't cutting at all.

Glad you got to cutting again. Just a bit of friendly advice. Don't go bashing a region because you don't like what one person said.

Ya damn yankee :hmm3grin2orange:

I guess now that I read it again, my words could have been taken a few different ways. All I was trying to say is He might benefit from posting a pic of his cutters. I was actually trying to aid him from the few post that were bashing him. He's happy. nuff said.

Listen Junior, I was trying to help you just as everyone else responding to this thread. Damn right I'm from Georgia and you better bet I'll match wits with you ANY day. Yep I'm a hillbilly but I'm also a Journeyman AREOSPACE technician, pilot, and a few other things you probably don't know exists...So at any time in ANY subject you want I'll sit down with you and show you just how stupid you most likely are....

Enjoy the last help you'll ever get from me; Dont sharpen the back of the cutters, Just turn the chain around noob.

One other thing Einstein,

If in the future you decide the written word is the medium of choice for assailing someones intelligence, maybe you should try to compose a comprehensible missive that is not LADEN with grammatical errors.

I should be capitalized, your first use of "your" is wholly incorrect and should read "you're" Georgia should be capitalized your first use of "to" should read "too". Ah the damn ol yankees...

It would serve you well to remember an old quote,

"Better to be silent and thought a fool than to use ones keyboard to remove all doubt."
