I’ve ran them on 57cc saws, as long as it was sharp I had no issues. The all I can tell you, I’ve never had a smaller cc saw. Personally, I think bar size is what limits you on smaller cc saws. You go to long and the saw will suffer. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching!
Gonna be running a 12 axle cozad from now on. Never run a mechanical or a cozad, so I've been looking for videos like this one to learn how its done. Up to now I've just been running hydraulic RGN for 15 years. Time to move on to bigger things I suppose!
Too much talking at the beginning of video.. also, a small tipped pointer would be better for pointing out features on the chain... overall, a nice video...
I think it’ll work in the newer guides with modifications. The vintage ones like in this video need no modification I’ve never tried using a newer Granberg.
Just a word of caution, do not waste money on any of the chinese counterfeits (including Oregon brand) they are so flimsy you can't even get them setup, let alone the amount of flex while trying to file. I have purrchased both, didn't get one tooth done before returning the oregon.
Great video, but... you are using a file as if it's a stone... pressing down while Dragging a file backwards ruins files quickly. Ideally the file needs to be picked up when bringing it back, but at minimum, 99% of weight/pressure needs to be lifted when dragging the file back for another forward cutting stroke.
It’s easier to not accidentally kill the face of your cutters with the small 325 file size or 3/8’s… a 150 diamond HK Diamond eBay or forester 150 grit will cut on both directions and it’s twice as fast to remove that “extra” junk material?? They have won me over
I turn the file around and I pull them instead of pushing them or hold the top and pull with the other hand… whatever works definitely… cool jig!!! I’d use it!
PPE? Check Toes? Check…. All 10! ( wearing safety toe boots) Eyes? Yep, got ‘em both and can see just fine to read your comment ( wearing safety glasses in the video) Supervise? Check…. MS661 is a pretty super saw! ER visit? Nope…. Femoral artery? Check…. Still got it and it’s intact! I assume you’re questioning why I am not wearing chaps? I have, I just don’t care for them…. No issues so far, being sawing a long time! You do you, I’ll do me! Take care!
Dude this helped me so much! I had only a few hours to to figure out a quick and easy way to give two days worth of water to my 26 birds while was gone and this worked out perfect!
My concern about bench grinders like yours is how consistent they are. In other words, how well does the vice mechanism on your grinder hold the chain? If it's not holding the chain perfectly still for each and every tooth, you will obviously end up with inconsistent grinds, right? Another question is how well the grinder is set up for changing direction for grinding the opposite teeth? I'm sure that you've used a chain that wasn't ground the same on both sides, which causes the saw to essentially "walk off" and, more to the point, not cut straight. I have both liked and subscribed to your channel, so please keep on making the informative videos. 👍
In the time I had and used this grinder, I didn’t see any issues…. Although I can understand your concerns. I think it comes down to the quality of the machine. This one is built very well…. But I’m sure you’d have those issue with lesser quality machines. Unfortunately, I don’t have it anymore, I don’t cut firewood anymore, so I can’t give you a long term review. Thanks for the comment, thanks for watching. 😊👍
@@GoodDayFarm Would you like to sell the grinder? In my experience, manufacturers tend to increase their margins over time by "modifying" their designs. For example, they may decided to sub what were once quality steel parts for cheaper/inferior pot metal parts that aren't as durable. In short, I trust an older unit over a newer one, so let me know if your grinder is presently collecting dust in your shop. Have a good one.
I just used a double bevel square file i can get the right side teeth perfect then turned it around and wrecked the left side. Super pissed i thought i had it but i dont. Id like to see more square filing with this jig thinking about getting one. I wanna run square. So the g106 wont work with this file? All i can find are granberg g106. Will the 3 corner chisel bit file fit in a g106 i guess i could use that file instead.
I’ve never done it, but I think you can set the 106 up with a triangle file. The vintage guides are the only ones I know of that’ll work with a double bevel file.
Did this come with a file or do i need to get some separately? I have at least three different sizes of chain so i assume I'll have to get a couple files.
Got my Carbon Steel pans few years ago after learning the Non-Stick pans Release Micro-Plastics into your food [Cancer causing]. Will NEVER go back to Non-Stick ANYTHING, Even my Utensils are ALL Steel.
hello sir.i hope you can help me with my chainsaw chain,i want to change it i already brought my whole chainsaw to the store that sell chainsaws and parts but they couldn't find any available chain for my chainsaw.i got the old 1971 tas tanaka ecs-5 chainsaw. thanks
Working on a goal of 100 per day. Sets of 10. Unfortunately I have to do them on my fists due to a tumor in my wrist. More so just wanted to give you props for a positive message.
That’s awesome! 100 through out the day, or doing 10 sets at a time? Either way, badass! And on your fists!!!! 😱😱😱 Good job, stick with it! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it!
@korihare3719 , great goal! Stick with it, you’ll get there! Not sure…. Once I finish the 14 days of this challenge…. I’m sure I’ll maintain something, maybe 45 a day? 🤷♂️. We’ll see! 😊
I have a cheaper one from Princes Auto.. (Canada's Harbor Freight).. it works well when obviously set proper but the chain break doesn't hold chain still and tends to jump up a bit and when a little too aggressive on the break will move off 30 degree.. the hydraulic assist and the better quality built will be a game changer to how I sharpen now.. great informative video..
