[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1691560, member: 498"] I have filed and ground away miles of chain. I have had enough practice so I can make a chain really cut either way. I have a Silvey grinder. I believe they have gone out of business. But during the hay days of PNW logging it was considered the Cadillac of chain grinders. When you are getting paid by the thousand board feet that you put on the ground nothing but razor sharp will do. Also when you are cutting through logs 4 to 8 feet in diameter you need a chain that cuts straight. Cuts that wander off one way or the other just don't make it. We would go through two chains a day. Change one out mid day and put on a sharp chain a quitting time so you have a fresh chain for morning. So I took home two chains to grind every night. For someone who starts up their saw a few times a year and cuts twigs the brand of chain doesn't really matter. Just try to keep it sharp. [/QUOTE]
