Can chainsaw blades be sharpened?
Chainsaw chains are sharpened with special files. While some professional loggers use square files like the ones to sharpen knives, almost all other chainsaw owners use round files for sharpening. There are three common sizes of chainsaw files: 5/32, 3/16 and 7/32. Select the correct size for your chain.
Why is my chainsaw burning the wood?
