I had a chain touched up at the shop. It was a mess when I got it home and had a good look at it. They must have taken half of the cutter off. Many links I could see where they cut down into the tie strap. Top plates didn't have uniform angles. And worst of all it wont cut because they heat hardened it. When I try to file it I don't get any bite. It isn't the rakers, they are plenty low.
I don't see any bluing that I thought you see with hardening but I cannot get a round file to take off any metal. Can the chain be salvaged some other way or is it shot?
