Hello,
I own a 55 Rancher and love it. No problems for 5 years. the chain is .50 3/8. 7/32 file/stone size.
My chain calls for: 10/25 degrees. I just hand sharpened it at 0/30. Will it make a big difference? I read that my chain/saw combo is a lowkickback, and not following those angels could cause kickback.
Someone please elalborate? I enjoy learing and perfecting the hand file technique. I also jsut bought a small bench grinder for $44.00. Got great reveiews. I still want to hand file as well.
In any case, please discuss these angles and how they affect cutting, ect.. and what happens if they are not followed? Give examples if you could? Like one angle is more aggressive, ect...
Thanks!
