    Good one Geoff.
    One thing with them, if your cutters need a lot of adjustment to get them even, go around 2 or 3 times just taking a smidgen off each time until they are all the same.

    While you are in spending mode, could you get one of those 40T splitters and accidently have it posted to my address?

    all ready got a splitter edbeek = his name is kaleb hes 15 years old = you want a new phone card and pocketmoney this week , start swinging the block splitter boy ..hahahahaha
    yes ive been told the trick is lots of little up down quick motions each tooth so as not to let it blue the tooth , also if there a tooth or 2 it dosnt touch on = just leave it go as after a few sharpens as the other teeth get down it will bring those ones back into action ...
    cheers mate

    Just a bit of advise for those who are sharpening chains, make certain you file the rakers after about 6 sharpens, or when you sharpen the chain and it does not seem to cut the same as it did when new, get a rakers gauge and file them down so the teeth will cut again. Don't just file them with out the gauge as you may take off to much and then the saw will just be grabbing all the time, also round the front of the raker after filing so the raker does not dig in, only need a few passes with the file to round the raker.

    yes good advise , the gauges aint expensive think the one i got was about $12.00 sits across cutting teeth and you just lightly file off the raker . = dont matter how sharp it is if the teeth cant bite in to the wood it wont cut ...

    Door stop and paper weight are the key words here

    I'm using my very similar looking but differently coloured BaumAGR saw as a wheel-chock.
