How about some close-ups of your chain after you sharpen it that way? Some video of it cutting would be good too.

This is good stuff
I get what you are describing, but it makes no sense. You would be better off using a Dremel type bit, made to cut/grind rotationally, or using the profiled edge of your angle grinder.

A stroke with the file would be ideal .... one way only - as the file is made to only cut in one direction.

WOW ....................
I go about setting rakers with a micrometer ......................... I MUST have missed grinder/file class that day
When hand filing as l slide the file along the cutters edge, l rotate my wrist (approx 3/4 turn) each stroke. This was a little difficult to learn but practice will allow you to keep the file straight and twist it at the same time. lt also means the filing is evenly distributed along the file allowing for longer service life of file and less 'clogging' of the file.
I am sure that you can make the chain cut if you say so. I can mount a chain backwards, and just using your angle grinder, get it to cut. But that's not a practice I would recommend.
Still, I have stated many time here on AS, if you find something that works for you, and you are happy with it - it's a free country. Go with it.
Rather than a video of you cutting, I would like to see a video of you sharpening, and close up photos of the teeth and cutting edges.

I have a chain sharpener but I still prefer to sharpen chains by file if the bar isn't too long.The average AS member is clearly far beyond a simple device like this as they are capable of creating a perfectly hand filed chain as if they were brusing their tooth before bed.:msp_wink:

I've tapped a thread into the end of the crankshaft, drilled a hole in the clutch cover and now clip on a patent pending KiwiSharp warrior ninja stone grinder. With the optional extra carbon fibre jig, I can sharpen chains, on the chainsaw, at the chainsaw, with nothing but the chainsaw so help me Gawd, until death do us part.
I'd post pictures but typing this with my nose is hard enough. Just you guys wait until I can right click with my eyelids and then there'll be glorious HD videos, unless Big Oil get wind of it and shut me down for fear of losing profits.

I detect a bit of sarcasm there, no?
But actually, what you describe is very similar to the PowerSharp system on the Oregon 40V chainsaw.

I'm getting sick of Big organisations stealing my ideas.
Won't be long now and they'll be marketing my bio-fuelled, regenerative braking, mobile firewood processing and drying delivery dump truck. Just feed it at the landings with logs, and it dumps dry firewood on the customers lawn. I bet there'll be absolutely no effort by the corporate world to pay me a cent in royalties either. The world's gone mad I tell you. Plain insane in the membrane.
