Thank you, I see, I was thinking you meant the bumper link. Its a pruning saw and I just rely on it for cutting everything, I dont spare that little shetland pony.Well, it's a different style chain than I have, but the gullet? area should have a nice sweeping curve to the inside, and the top plate should be similar length compared to the others. The rakers might benefit from a smoother transition, instead of a sharp angle.
Don't take what I say as being critical, it took me a bit to get my own chain filing right, and it's still by no means perfect. But when you have the chain set up right, it's very noticeable (especially for me, with a low powered saw).
I can imagine the performance is down, and there's a fair amount of vibration/sore buzzy hands later, again, I found that out first hand.
How do you do those hypertext links? I always wanted to ask you that. Acrobat?

And I see it pays to help the motor by making everything proper.
Like shoeing a horse at a bad foot angle.

When you get your file sharpening guide can you give it a review?I have ordered the Stihl version but have yet to get it, so I have not been able to see the design to really answer your question - actually, the only reason I am responding to this (with little to no info) is to second your idea of doing this yourself. That is one funky looking sharpening job on the chain above. That gullet is some sort of ugly.
Will do, but Amazon seems to be a bit slow with the shipping on this unit.When you get your file sharpening guide can you give it a review?
Ah...hmmm...Not buying it. A single, PROPER grinder session should clean up all prior sins.
Not trying to beat you up, Sis. Pointing out that the job done on that chain is unacceptable and that with what little I know about YOU, and a little practice you should be able to easily excel beyond what you are paying for. Call it a little "push". There is nothing wrong with dropping your chains off if they have been abused and need a grinder for correction, but for daily maintenance of chains I have every reason to believe that you can make that happen. Heck - you run a chainsaw. You can surely run a file or grinder.That helps the acid stomach a little,
