I typically hand sharpen but after a while we all know a good grind is necessary to reset the cutter. I used to pay a guy to do this for me but my FIL recently got the cheapo HF chain grinder so I figured I would give it a shot. Got it all setup and double checked the angles as best I could and started easing the chain through. Took light grinding passes, lowered the grinder 3x per tooth with a quick light 'tsst' 'tsst' 'tsst' and then moved to next cutter. Here are some pics of what I ended up with. All the cutters look pretty consistent (to the eye) and feel razor sharp!
Now I know there are chain sharpening gurus out there so let me hear it... what did I do wrong and what can I do to improve?
