[QUOTE="Dangerous, post: 7651936, member: 175163"] Thank You about the saw dust shavings vs real dust, when I did figure out how to sharpen by hand matching the file to the gullet , filing inside of the gullet to the outside one direction only ; and filing the same distance on the file each stroke. The rakers I filed with a flat file carefully again in the same amount of pressure and same length of draw. Good hand filing to sharpen a chain always took time and kind of a trance trying to make each stroke identical. Enjoyable and making me eager to try out the newly sharpened chain to see how much better it cut. I also became a believer in a sharp chain is a safer than a dull chain forcing a saw through the work wore me out and less able to really control how I was cutting. thanks again to the wiser Heads.
