Hopefully thats inches not mm Steve
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?
Never understood the idea behind clean chains?! Resharpen and just cut wood. On the other hand it seems to work for a lot of people so there must be something behind this logic. Maybe I jsut have to try it out. Well maybe one day if I have a lot of time on hand.

Won't the wire wheel take off the hard chrome?
My concerns would also include rounding over the edges you just made with the tips of the wire wheel.

You guys don't sharpen you own lawn mower blades do you? A wire wheel does nothing but quickly knock the burr off. You touch it to the chain and done. Cleaning your chains before you sharpen them is kinda like wiping your butt before you crap.......C'mon now don't be mad, you walked right into that one, someone had to say it. :msp_rolleyes:
