[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 609524, member: 3008"] Aussiefarmer has pretty much nailed it. I felled and cross cut timber full time for ten years and I reckon it took me over six months of sharpening a chain five times a day before I got it close to right. It's a practice makes perfect scenario. Rakers only need to be adjusted if the teeth have had many sharpening's. As mentioned, control the bite of the teeth. Although towards the end of my forestry days the guys on the processors would have me sharpening chains brand new out the box, yep you can get them sharper. Definitely an art that takes time and can get very frustrating and I doubt I would still be able to pull it off today. A well maintained chain should last until the teeth snap off. [/QUOTE]
