My saw has started cutting to the left pretty bad. I sharpened the chain so sharp that I was afraid of it while paying close attention to the right side to make sure that the chisel tip was sharp. It is still cutting to the left. I filed the bar to make sure that there were no burs along the bar. Still no joy.
In the past I have had some success by running the chain tight when a side cutting problem occurred.
So what is the procedure to determine if the bar is just worn out. I have feeler gauges and a micrometer so if I need to get down to fine measurements I can. But I don't know what readings are acceptable.
The saw is a husky 55 rancher.
I only noticed the problem when I started cuting 3' diameter wood. It is so bad that it will make a u turn in a piece of wood this large. It is sort of funny the first time that it happens but after trying to fix it I am no longer laughing.
