Real good stuff here on the last few pages!
This thread made me want to find out what the local dealer charges to grind a chain... starts at $10 and goes up to $18
It is hard for me to understand why more people don't learn I enjoy sharpening. But hey I will accept payment for something I enjoy
Good question. I think for many it is time. If a tree guy is making XX per hour or could save 1/4 of that by sharpening his own chains he is more likely to farm it out. Or for someone who is already stressed for time, they would rather just pay six or ten bucks then fiddle with sharpening. For others, its the learning curve. You are going to mess up a few before you get it right and some folks just don't want to take that risk.It is hard for me to understand why more people don't learn I enjoy sharpening.

nice picsTo my knowledge there is no way for a layman to dress a Dinosaw wheel - mine certainly isn't as round as I would like. Isn't even close to the roundness of a file. Ron
