Re: Chain Sharpening Angles?
« on: August 30, 2015, 05:40:44 am »
I had to sharpen 14 chains for customers last weekend so I decided to buy a grinder. I bought a laser grinder. its just like the Oregon 511. (I love it BTW) Ive just noticed the different angles on the different chains. Stihl 33 chain is 60 and Carlton was 70 degrees. I didn't change the Carlton to 60 but was thinking it would cut better if I did. I always thought the Stihl chain was more aggressive out of the box and it is.
Most chains call for the 10 degree vise angle and was curious if that was necessary. It puts more of a hook in the cutter but does it really make a noticeable difference. I think ill do what you said and just do the 60 30 0 for the customers. And still hand file my own chains of course.
