Are the rakers uniform like that?I just run mine through the grinder.
Set the first one by hand and go.
The chain in the picture was not one I had done, just one I had laying around and threw on for the picture. I'm sure you guys would flame me for my chains, but I'm still learning. One of my goals for the yr was to learn more about sharpe ning/chains in general, I've learned a lot.

Yes, checked them with a standard raker tool as well as a feeler guage on them and a piece of flat stock between the teeth.Are the rakers uniform like that?
Just be careful and do it by feel?
the 510/511 grinders do great on rakers. they just take about 30 seconds longer then an HDG.

I've seen guys also dress the wheel so the shape of the depth guage is more like it comes from the factory.
Even if it did if you did quite a few chains in a yr it would take a long time to catch up with a silvey you can't buy .Per tooth?
Point well taken. LolEven if it did if you did quite a few chains in a yr it would take a long time to catch up with a silvey you can't buy .
i currently do raker by hand and it really doesn't take that long either. maybe 2 min longer then an HDG spread out among 10 chains
Being a file snob......might I suggest Gorbet files.
NONE better.
Let me know. Lolyou sent me one lol it sits beside my vice for all jobs. what will i do when it's clapped out?
Stay safe Ol Buddyas much as i'd like to stay up, the woman is whining from the bedroom for me to go there lol last night here before i go back to camp. i better go? lol later!
I have never been taught by anyone other than videos/AS so I really don't have a clue on the finer aspects of chain maintenance. Although I have picked up a good bit in the last few years as I don't buy a new chain when they get dull any more .i currently do raker by hand and it really doesn't take that long either. maybe 2 min longer then an HDG spread out among 10 chains
