Please critique my Square filing

[CaseyForrest]

Ok, this is an old RS chain I originally turned into a ripping chain. Only filed once, and never used, so I didnt ruin it to much.

I already can tell I need to angle my file away from the raker a little bit more. And a little more down angle with the handle end of the file. The corner is still rounded off because I filed them at 5 degrees when I wanted it to be a ripping chain. I know a few more stroke with the square file and Id have it to a nice point.....

OK, Let the flaming begin!!!

one more

 

[Reddog]

Looks pretty good. :biggrinbounce2:

 

[CaseyForrest]

Thanks Wally, that tooth is probably the tenth tooth I hit with the file. I think I got the hang of it. Just need more practice.

Im sure it'll be easier on a chain that is already square ground. This one I am cutting in new angles.

You've got the bug! You've got the bug!

Mark my words, your new 660 will be modded and running a pipe within the next 12 months...

 

[CaseyForrest]

LOL.....I wouldnt go that far!!! Would be nice to have it modded slightly, just for more tourque in the mill. But NO PIPE!! Id for sure get a visit from the police if I did that!!!

Did you get any of that Square?

 

[Big Woody]

I'd say a career in Hand Modeling is in your future.

 

[coveredinsap]

What's in the blue cooler back there?

 

[THALL10326]

Nope, no square yet. Heck, I haven't even had time to play around with the reworking the back side of the cutters on my round stuff yet. Maybe next week, since I have a few removals lined up and I'll be at the grinder anyway.

I am seriously thinking about piping the 7900, just for kicks, since my neighbors are rarely home anyway.

I dont think Im going to get into any cutting the backs off the cutters. I got the square ground because it looked like a challenge.

I attempted to sharpen one of the square ground chains I bought, I need more practice!!!

Aww Sap was just pulling a good one there Cassey. He meant no harm on that one. Your chain job looks dayumm good from what I can tell. Let us know how that baby cuts.....
