All this talk about saws but none about sharp chains and true bars.:laughing:

Those lessons are usually learned the hard way. "Why is my saw smoking and turning the wood black."

When it makes sawdust instead of chips, it needs sharpened.

They teach you that in chainsaw classes.

Just made 4 new chains for a handyman customer because he thought his chans were bad.
he brought the chains in and of course the teeth were filed back further than the bumpers so it was not cutting on the flat & he had been cutting on the tip for so long the bar was undercut at the tip which was allowing the chain to jump off.
