How 'bout a Slice of Humble Pie...

[heimannm]

On chains that have a DL count divisible by 4 there will be no obvious "joint" in the chain.

I have been in the practice for many years of marking a tie strap or raker with a file to give me an obvious start/stop point. I tried the paint and marker technique but if a chain is a little oily or if the saw is still dirty the mark does not always come around clearly visible.

Lately I have even resorted to the lighted scope Stihl #1 gave me to have a close look at a sharpened cutter or two just to make sure. My work glasses are a step behind in the prescription and it does make a big difference for fine detail work. I have to bring the regular street glasses along if I know I will be looking at a micrometer.

I can still read the dial indicator with the old glasses but that only works on the simple stuff.

bifocal safety glasses, now that is funny!!

There ain't nuthin' funny about bifocal safety glasses. Especially when you have to pay for them out of your own pocket....

Go to the dollar store and pick up 10 pairs of those low magnification reading glasses and scatter them around the shop, living room and throne/reading room.

LOL, Just seen this. When ya get my age sometimes it's hard to find the saw. If you have several different files, forget about reading the stamping on the file. Been marking the first cutter for a while now or the chain might get sharpened three times.lol

Nice limbing saw. Bet there ain't too many limbs it can't handle. Of coarse you're limbs are the size of our trees.lol

youll be old when you start carrying mints in your pocket. i was over my parents a couple weeks ago. my mother picked a raddish from the garden and i figured id try it. now i know i dont like raddishes. i said now my mouth tastes like ass so my dad pulls a mint from his pocket. then i told him hes officially an old man now, cuse he was just walking around with mints in his pocket.

Why? Thats what I wear all day everyday!

I can't even see the black Gary. I have to use something green or blue to see it! And I have been wearing glasses for a few years.

there is alot of talk here, for thoes of you who have good vision I assume.

Why dont you just file until you see a sharp tooth?

"I see," said the blind man to his deaf son...

Hard to 'see' the sharp teeth, especially if your chain is clean and you have presbyopia, or you have dim light.

I guess but my presbyopia is not there yet/

 

[Bill G]

Yeah...reading micrometers every day....my arms are going to need to get longer to make it happen. Either that or bifocal safety glasses.

Trust me they will not help reading mic's. You will still take your glasses off.
