Vallorbe Racing Cut System

[grandpatractor]

Does anyone else put on a new chain with the saw on its side, instead of in an upright position? For me it is a lot faster.

Yup!

I called Baileys. The guy I talked to didn't have any idea what I was talking about....

 

[SWE#Kipp]

It typically takes me about 5 to 6 minutes to touch up a chain. That's for a 28 to 32" bar. If you have to take more than 3 strokes per tooth you went too far with a square grind.
Keep at it, you'll get there.

That's impressive.

I tend to watch the shop clock a bit when I sharpen, and it always takes me longer than I think it took. And I use a Pro Sharp with square, so I have it easy.

In terms of the jig, I almost never am running less than a 28 inch bar, and all my square 28 and up is full skip. So it sounds the jig wouldn't work for me anyway.

I do like the idea of more folks finding out how much faster and easier square can be.

Is there another way than on it's side?

Guess I use enough long bars that I don't even consider a vertical position.

Howdy,
We have about a dozen men, and 4 women who pick up the phones on a regular basis. As you can tell by previous history of this thread, these guides have been in the works for quite awhile. I wasn't going to mention anything til I had them in my hands. It sounds like they're on the way now. I will be posting a thread in our forum looking for some testers for these guides. I'll be looking for as wide a variety of full comp chisel users as possible. I'm not sure how many I'll be able to put out there but, I don't think it'll be any more than a half dozen.
Regards
Gregg

Will it only work with the special files or will it work with others like Baileys or save edge?

I priced Vallorbe files here and they were extortionate!

Hi Tommy



The price for these files is as follows:



VLC2270-7 £8.46/FILE. These must be bought in quantities of 12 and the delivery time is 3 weeks approx.



Kind regards

Dawn

Thats a copy and paste of the email

£8.46 = $11.84 $1390 inc vat + carrage!!!!!!!! $166.80 for 12 plus carrage!

LOL, it would be cheaper for you to buy a square grinder.

 

[SWE#Kipp]

you can use pferd files but for best result the Vallorbe would be the right one to use !
I have tried three different files with the guide, two from Vallorbe and one from Pferd, one of the Vallorbe files looks much like a regular chisel bit file but the "cuts" on the file are straight a cross and not sideways that seems to be the norm ,, and it gives a smooth chatter free ride for the file

Ok thats good but you see my dilemma, Im prepared to buy a guide but need to find an economical way of getting files in the UK.

If not im just going to learn the hard way. Without a guide.

It seems verrry expensive for the files !?
maybe they cost that much ,, but it's allot for sure !!

I can buy Stihl raker files for £2 each so it cant cost that much more to make a file with toothed edges at an angle!

And of that £2 theres £0.30 vat and Stihl and the dealer make a profit on that plus everyone in the middle and the manufacturer!

 

[SWE#Kipp]

2£ is about the same as 30 swedish crowns and that is approx what the files cost here !!!
