Rakers

[Kenskip1]

Here in my little hamlet of Texas we have one major small engine repair. He is a pleasant enough but when it comes to sharpening chains he has the common sense of A loaf of bread.This picture is some of his work.How could any man survive doing things like this to a chain? And yes he does charge big $$ Ken

What a butcher? Did he use a 9" Milwaukee grinder or a pedestal grinder to 'touch up' those rakers? I hope he threw in a new chain for you.

are you pulling my leg? I would not let this man within a mile of my equipment. I am doing a carburetor kit for a MS210 and this is the chain that was on the bar. I think this person has lost a customer and brought his saw to me.As far as I am concerned, this chain is toast. I have my Jolly grinder all set.

Does look rather aggressive. But at least he sharpened the correct side!

One extreme to another!!!!

Just yesterday, there was a post from a newbie that got ripped off by a shop, that didn't touch rakers for liability reasons, and the poor guy was shooting powder on a fresh ground chain.

LOL!!!!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay safe!

I can't see what the problem is? An alky 3120 should have no problem pulling that chain in Balsa wood?
