Chainsaws are sharpened using a number of tools.
I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. Henry David Thoreau |

Saw Type | Rake | Fleam | Drop | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Crosscut | 30° | 35° | 5° to 10° | These are the standard blades. |
Rip | 50° | 0° | 5° to 10° | These are non-standard blades. |
If the saw is generating fine (not chunky) sawdust, increase the Chip Thickness by filing down the leading edge of the cutting tooth. Be careful to not take off too much.
