Proper Vanguard depth gauge maintenance?
« on: October 07, 2022, 10:07:08 pm »
   What is the proper approach to lowering Vanguard depth gauges? I received a Vanguard chain to sharpen and the depth gauges were needing to be adjusted. I formed my own opinion and did a quick online search to see if it was correct. Didn't find any good information available with a quick search.
   I went ahead and used my idea which was to grind on the trailing side of the depth gauge (in the gullet). Is that the proper or improper approach?

I always just did what Oregon suggested. Like you found too.
I actually have it saved in a chain thread here already too.

I dont care for the chain.  But others grind all that extra off to use.
