[TheForge] OT - tried to pull a Frosty

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Yes, I have a guage for setting the guide height and file them every other 
sharpening. I should check to make sure it is the right guage, since we got 
it for my son's saw, it may leave the guides too high.  The power sharpener 
has a way to set them, but it requires redressing the wheel to have a flat 
bottom, which is different than when sharpening the cutters.  The wheel 
would ware out pretty fast if I had to redress it every time I changed 
operations. The best solution would be to get a second wheel which was only 
used to grind the guides.

Did you remember to take the guides down too? Between each tooth there
is a guide that keeps the cutters from digging in too hard and bogging
the engine down. If you sharpen the chain after a few times the
clearance  thins the cut down to nothing.
