Homemade product from an old chain (purchased at Traffic Lights together with a chainsaw). "Breathed" a second life into the cutting blade

  • Dec 21, 2020

Recently I told you how with an ordinary, inexpensive chainsaw from the Traffic Light area, I cut aerated concrete blocks and a roll of bikrost (waterproofing). Naturally, the native chain intended for wood processing could not withstand this abuse and was very worn out.

Of course it needs to be disposed of. But I decided to give the chain for sharpening, they said that this product is easier to throw away. To which I had to object: "Sharpen it as best you can, let it still serve.". The master agreed, but asked for 50 rubles more for his services.

If the edges of the chain from the chainsaw interfere, they should be cut off with an emery or grinder. So that she fits into the clamp:

After these manipulations, the chain should be free in the clamp:
