[QUOTE="Absolute2, post: 940461, member: 20206"] I buy 100' rolls of chain for each saw and make my own. I have built up about 20-25 chains for each type of saw and when I start to run low on sharp ones I have one of my guys come in for a shop day and go to it with a grinder with diamond wheels (expensive setup but worth it). He can usually sharpen them all up and then I'm good to go for a couple months. If the chains have hit something too bad, rebar,brick or something of the sort they are usually not worth the effort even with a grinder. I try and have 5-6 chains for each type of saw with me in the field so we can just swap them out. the only exception is climbing saws, which we hand sharpen for that little extra bit of sharpness [/QUOTE]
