Oooooops. I think I did a flat outside Chamfer today. :hmm3grin2orange: Just tried to square things up like when new.
OK..so you put a file in with both file edges filing on both sides..sounds good on paper..!!Ok, holding a small file at a angle to de-burr the inside rail. You know? chamfering.

I've never seen this to be necessary as the chain takes off any inside...'rollover'..
(not saying it isn't lucrative...just not really necessary)

This thread needs to just DIE..!!I flip the bar every 5-8 tanks. And maybe pass a file over the edges once in between there.
I take the clutch cover off, clean all the sawdusk and gunk out, clean the bar grooves and oil holes out, and simple green the pretty parts at the end of a day of sawing.
A bit much, but just trying to take care of a $700 tool...
I clean out and inspect bars after every use.

Thanks. How do you dress the rails? Can you describe how you do it?
Have a look at page 73 of the Oregon Maintenance and Safety Manual
best way to maintain your Bar is by keeping your chain sharp and cutters even, depth gauges dialed in, Oil hole open and good quality bar oil .....clean out the grooves regularly and flip the bar at regular intervals. And let the saw self feed. Best way to wreck a bar is forcing it to cut with a dull un-maintained chain.
