I can do better than that with my little toy ("nick the grinder"). Someday I will upgrade to a decent (Oregon) machine. That was a butch job, and if I was handed that I might have made a fuss until they cut me a NEW loop of chain!

LMAO, what a butcher. 1. The stone was dressed wrong and even looks to be too thin. 2. It was dirty, which caused the terrible burning, 3. Like Russ explained, excessive force was used.jokers said:I can tell you right now that who ever ground that chain hogged off too much material, there is no valid excuse for this, all brands of chain grind the same.
Look at the curled chrome on this cutter that results from removing to much base metal too rapidly. You will also notice the discoloration of the tooth from excessive heat.
Then look at the heat mark on the side of this cutter, it`s so dark that it`s gone beyond blue and it actually looks like soot.
Whoever ground this chain took significant life from it.

4. Congratulations, in 20 years that is the worst job I have seen from a chain grinder.
