    Chainsaw sharpeners

    Is there anything special that is needed to sharpen the stihl chisel chain(33RSC). Ive been told that the sharpener needs to be able to move in a certain direction. If anybody knows of a sharpener that will sharpen the chisel chain that would be cool.

    With the full chisel you want your angle to be 25 degrees to the grinding wheel, at the shop that I work at I get stuck with all the sharpening. I do between 50-75 chains a week. Mainly make sure you're taking back the teeth equally on each sides and you take down the rakers 25-30 thousandths to get good chips.

    best way

    The best way that I have found to sharpen a chain is with a dremel. Be sure and grind each tooth until it turns bright red. That hardens the steel and it will last a long time. Trust me!

    Any standard wheel or file sharpens rsc chisel... If you're taking SQUARE GROUND chisel, that's an entirely different issue...
