Firewood hack
it just seems normal to me, I did it that way before I found this site and realized it was wrong. But like you said it seems weird to switch now.
Twist, chatter, water in your eye .............. its easy to kill the cornerThe square filing you can kill the corner easily with the file twisting at the end of the stroke. I've tried outside in round but it seemed weird.
Why is it backwards? I thought it made sense outside/in. I've always done it that way.Twist, chatter, water in your eye .............. its easy to kill the corner
I know outside in on round is said to be backwards, but I find it easier
Its what I was told, and what most people believe. Not just here, but all of the manufacturers chain filing (round) show inside - out as well.Why is it backwards? I thought it made sense outside/in. I've always done it that way.
That same "burr" can be seen when I file inside out ......... not as obvious, but I do see it.Grinding leaves a small burr going inside out, but not outside in.

True, but I have seen it take some of the chrome plating off along with it after the first cut.That small "bur" you get filing inside out on the outer edge of the tooth is gone the first time the chain hits wood.
Difficult to compare edges: knives, razor blades, etc. - used for different purposes. 'Razor sharp' sounds good, but would not hold up long on a saw tooth. Wood working chisels might be the closest, in terms of cutting edge shape, but they don't have the chrome backing.Aren't knives sharpened either way?

If you have something that works for you . . .

How can you get sharper than a couple different grits of oil stone followed by leather strop? You don't keep the two sided oilstone for your chisels wrapped in a piece of leather?My chain is wwwwaaayyy sharper than a wood cheisel.
If your chain isn't "razor sharp" then you ain't doin it right
I'm waiting for the shaving video . . .If your chain isn't "razor sharp" then you ain't doin it right
