How to Sharpen Chain Saw Chains
1. Use the table in the Dremel Chainsaw Sharpening Kit to figure out which Dremel sharpening bit you need to use with your chainsaw.
2. Attach the Dremel Sharpening Guide and the bit to your Dremel.
3. Mark the tooth on the chainsaw chain where you want to start with a black marker.
4. Put on Heavy Duty gloves to protect your hands from sharp blades.
5. Use the Dremel Sharpening guide to keep the Dremel level and at the correct angle for the tooth you are sharpening. Turn on the Dremel and sharpen that tooth.
6. Make sure you sharpen each tooth on the chain for the same amount of time (to a count of 10, for example) to keep the teeth evenly sharpened. Even teeth cut straight lines!
7. Every other tooth on the chainsaw is in the same direction. The ones in between are sharpened in the other direction on your sharpening guide. So, be sure to pay attention to the direction of the tooth when sharpening.
8. Sharpen each tooth on the chainsaw blade until you are back at the black mark you put on the first tooth.

This is a chain for homeowner saws, and as a homeowner in the Southeast who doesn't really count wood by the cord kzread.infoUgkxbs4FIpzuLyOJe2SesfbtvXi1CTnUXroD I have this (or 20BPX) on several saws at different levels of smallness. I've never felt that the safety chain is holding me back. I buy multiple chains, and when the installed one doesn't feel grabby enough, I file it, then throw it in a cup of gasoline while I rotate to the next one. I have yet to file one down to the wear lines, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth, and I'm happy about this new 3-pack - although, at this rate, it's going to be awhile before I buy another. I don't know why I would try anything else.
Been using dremel method for twenty years, even marked the starting tooth with a black sharpie. You really don’t need the guide tool, visual works fine.

In the middle of cutting up some 6” branches and saw was getting slow. Came in to sharpen and wondered if I could use my Dremel instead of a file. Turns out I already had the sharpening kit; I followed your instructions and now the saw cuts like new. Saved me tons of time!
Just bought it from Amazon. Great kit, I really prefer it over the handsharpener, been doing that for 5 years now. And never going back to that :) Thx for the instructions. Greetings from Holland!

I'm using my dremel with a cheapo 5/32" diamond burr wheel instead of stones on my cheapo chinese guide. Makes chain extra-sharp.
Thank you for this. I do not have the guide attatchment yet, but what I have noticed is finding subpar (off brand) grinding stones that are more of a pain than using a file. I have a Husq 445 and 435.

That saw looks like its been tru the forest a few times. Do you use a guide or free file the rakers?

Does drimel turn into the curve or away from the curve?
Oregon already makes these. Not recommended for all chain types. Good for Stihl and Oregon chains. The Husqvarna H40 are specially hardened and the use of an improper grade file or power operated dremel will weaken the chain. The Husqvarna requires a certain course grade of file and has to be a carbide type only available at chainsaw shops. Don't use Oregon dremel attachments for Husqvarna. Oregons dremel tool also comes with a guide plate and flat file attachment.
You don't mention setting the guide plate so the grinding stone's circumference is 25% above the cutting edge of the tooth. Then the guide plate rests on the cutter tooth so the cutting edge is ground at the correct angle. Common mistake is grinding a Parrot's tooth shaped cutter which will dull quickly.

Good tip. One short video can't cover everything. I always recommend watching multiple videos and ALWAYS reading user manuals and directions on tools to get a complete understanding of a DIY.
This drilling machine is very good, but where will it be found? Can you tell me and what is the name of this drill machine?
