Decided to read directions, everything is set correctly. After sharpening chain, I put on my
reading glasses and discovered why a round file is better than the belsaw.
If you look in the first pic, you will see the tooth sharpened by belsaw has a blunt edge, like a
circular saw tooth. The second pic, which didn't turn out that nice better in person, is after I
took the dremel tool with diamond burr, rotary file. The file removes material from under the
tooth, making it concave and a razor sharp edge.
The third pic is how I hold chain while using dremel.
The last pic is proof that a diamond burr or file makes chips not sawdust. I was cutting small
brush with the saw today. A good sharp chain is effortless work.
I will keep the belsaw. It good for getting the angles back and removing material to get a
chipped tooth back in shape. Only use belsaw after using the dremel about 6 times. Belsaw removes
more of the teeth too.
