Chainsaw Repair

These new chains you get at Tractor Supply for $ 25.00 - $ 27.00 bucks  are throw aways after they wear out although I thought I would start sharpening them to save my pennies. I bought one of those Harbor Freight $ 29.00 on sale inexpensive motorized sharpeners cause there is not a shop like Lenords Farm & Ranch nearby that sharpens chainsaw blades anymore. I guess that is a thing of the past, chainsaw blade sharpeners... There used to be a guy in Reno between Azle & Springtown on south side of highway 199 who sharpened chainsaw blades and there was a guy in Azle on 730 N but he's closed up shop too.. I am located in Fort Worth Texas if that helps....

Anybody tell me what is a medium priced super dooper sh_t fire magic 20 inch 72 tooth chainsaw blade going to cost me ? These throw aways at Tractior Supply and Northern are killing me

Mail order and this shop seems to have good prices on LGX  http://www.loggerchain.com/72LPX072G-Oregon-20-saw-chain-3-8-375-72-DL-050-72LPX072G.htm


you didnt say 050 058 063 so I showed 050 above.

The Oregon LGX is what I like use.   

I prefere LPX, as it feels a little faster and definately smoother in the cut - but I also use LGX and RSC/RS without complaining. 

Those are all very good chisel chain.

I got some Stihl RM in a trade and I like it OK too.

RM is fine semi chisel, but I rarely use that - I like to keep a few around though, just in case I come across some dirty wood.

Like you I too have all kinds of chains from used saws that I have purchased and I will use them all.   I have some stihl chisel that I square ground that cuts great and some vanguard that I ground the angle off of the rakers.   But if I buy new it is usually is LGX.
