Chainsaw Sharpening Made Simple

If your chainsaw isn’t cutting like it should, it usually comes down to one thing—dull teeth or improper filing. In this video, I’ll show you a simple, practical way to sharpen a chainsaw using a file and a wave-style motion that helps clean out the gullet and set a proper cutting edge on each tooth. This is a real-world, POV-style sharpening method with multiple camera angles so you can clearly see the file position, tooth angle, and how the chain should look when it’s properly sharpened. No complicated setups—just a straightforward method you can use in your own backyard or job site. If you’re frustrated with filing or your saw just doesn’t feel right anymore, this will help you get back to a clean, consistent cut. Thanks for watching.
