I have cut firewood for many years--and I always sharpen my own chains. But recently it seems the chain and bar will bind in the wood almost to the point it won't cut. I have a new bar on and it doesn't have ridges under chain. In the past when this problem happened it was a bar issue and I filed the bar to eliminate ridges. My questions are for the pros are
1. I have seen loggers just take a file and sharpen chain saw. I am using a guide and try to keep teeth fairly close in length. How important is that? One of my chain saws has two teeth with same cutting angle in a row.
2 Should sharpening angle for dead vs green wood be changed and could that be reason for binding??
Thanks for any input
