So I'm finally getting really good at getting the teeth really really sharp. The rakers are easy enough to just file down, although I've noticed most of my bars are slightly oval shaped and the depth gauge is high as a result, so I've ended up just doing it by eye. I've noticed that even if the rakers are all the same height, if they're a slightly different shape then the chain will cut crooked... I don't know if this stems from me filing all of them from one side or what but it has me thinking. I always figured sharp teeth and low rakers were fast cutting, now I'm thinking raker shape have more to do with cutting speed than I initially thought.
I'd like to hear some thoughts from the experts on this.
