Good video. I'm doing basically the same thing except I use one of those funky right angle files. Works well but it's time consuming. One thing you didn't mention. If you look straight down into the groove, you want to verify that the sides are running even. Like one side is not thinner than the other. Have a great day!
@@buckinfirewood No, mine doesn't do that. In spite of the bar being bent. I haven't check it with calipers but maybe I'll do that just to see if there was uneven wear. I don't know what causes that. I have a theory but I'm probably wrong. 😁
Does it always go bad in the same direction? Perhaps you can adjust it to slant the bar a little bit so it doesn't always go out the same direction. I have never operated a processor. I know it would be an extra expense to make the saw adjustable for the angle. Perhaps a strong spring pulling it over would improve alignment so it cuts squarely.
A bar saw on a Processor can't have any play.. it needs to be straight up and down.. we fix the bar as needed , roughly every 100 facecords or so give or take
@@buckinfirewood I suppose it is either a factory defect or excessive wear. Either way, the manufacturer may have a remedy. Living with it may be best. Instead of squaring the bar you could grind one side down lower to make the chain tip the opposite direction. Compensation. I saw your comment on the Dyna on Hard Working Man.
@@buckinfirewood The purpose of the spring idea was to remove any play. The manufacturer may have a suggestion. You could cut a piece of beer can to shim the bar where it is bolted on. You could grind down one side of the bar to redirect the chain for compensation. I saw your comment on hard-working man channel concerning the Dyna processor.
