Message: <blockquote data-quote="swampratt" data-source="post: 4064878" data-attributes="member: 15054">My friend got a jig as he was having issues sharpening his saw.I showed him with the file.I actually got him the saw an MS250.He sold some of the post oak here.Lots of trees to cut on his property and I showed up with my saw and we raced each other on a log.I was amazed how well his cut and I just barely beat him and I think it was my technique.We raced a few times and he finally got tied with me  watching what I was doing.I praised him for having sharpened his chain so well.He then told me it was a brand new Stihl chain  from the box and all his other chains stihl chains he tried to sharpen just don't cut.I sharpened 3 of them for him during a break time.He said I make it look easy.I seen his jig and I used it and only reason I used it is because it held the file for me and I usually hold a bare file with my gloved hand not even a handle on my file most of the time.It can be done and File is the only way i have ever done it.Well until this year when i thought maybe the electric ones should be awesome.I am back to file only <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />But I am usually the odd ball in a group so  ya know how that goes.Like [USER=47878]@OHJEEZE[/USER]  said.Practice!</blockquote>
