I've acquired a few Vanguard chains when I've purchased Oregon Pro-Am bars for a few of my saws. I think they cut pretty well for what they are and I have the shop by my cabin sharpen them for me.
I played with a vanguard a bit and had good results. Can definitely get some firewood cut with it. But did need a a bit of sorting.I've acquired a few Vanguard chains when I've purchased Oregon Pro-Am bars for a few of my saws.

Yes filing the rakers on the vanguards with a flat file would be like torchere LOL....Vanguard chain is a mess if you have only a file to work with. That looks pretty good khn

Hey did you measure the Stihl and Oregon grinder to knownthat the 40 on the Stihl is 60 on the Oregon.....I have always been curious of what the difference is in the way both brands "measure" their angles....The 15 + - is Stihl 10 degrees
And there 40 is really 60 degrees

With CBN and diamond wheels "dressing" means cleaning.It sucks all the sparks and dust up and stays cleaner than my work benches
CBN never needs dressing
The Stihl does
