[QUOTE="CountryBoy19, post: 2413486, member: 52144"] Look at the edges of the cutters, is the carbide chipped? It should be obvious if it is. If so, then yes, it is "dulled". Carbide will chip rather than wear/bend/smash etc so look for chips out of the carbide. If it's the same 'carbide" as used with metal-working then it can be sharpened with an abrasive wheel, no need for the diamond wheel that Stihl calls for. [/QUOTE]
