Chainsaw Repair

I tried the Woodsman pro when Baileys first started selling it  .It did fine until I tried to file a compound angle like Oregon 72 then it got bad .Now dang it I can file a chain as good as anybody .Made me mad and I quit using it until good ole "Crofter" Frank ,TW's Dad showed me the error of my ways .That praticular one or at least so at the time only took a 90 degree straight accoss not a 10 compound because of the way the top plate met the side plate .I learned something I didn't know .

 

I think in this case its not a 10 degree down angle thing it's the fact you take the sharpest file there is, use all of your strength, and the file just scrapes over the tooth removing zero metal. It's harder then the file.
Then the next tooth you remove an 1/8th" in two strokes because its so soft.
I would two of each teeth per loop....That's when it was 11.99 at Baileys in 2003 ish.

Even Baileys realised they had a problem,kept the chassis probably because it was cheaper and purchased decent teeth.
I'm just guessing, but something positive changed because Baileys chain is pretty good. I was told by someone at that company about the Oregon teeth.

it has no witness mark but is a 73/72 lgx a file will tell you exactly what you have
