Chain Sharpener for a Stihl FarmBoss and MS-362

SHOULD BE SET AT 60 FOR EVERYTHING, That I HAVE EVER DONE INCLUDING CHEEP HOME OWNER CHAIN!

60/30 you will always be in the ball park...unless its milling chain then its 60/10....Cheep homeowner chain 60/25

There are many chains, cheap and pro that call for 40 or 50 degrees instead of 60. I can see not doing it if you can't (no adjustment on a cheap sharpener). But, if you've got a decent sharpener - it makes litttle sense to intentionally sharpen a chain wrong. Most of my new Oregon chisel chains call for 50 degrees.

60 is where I cut them.......Not even going to say how many (in a week) or for how long I have been cutting. lol I have some fast chains and as smooth as you will find anywhere, but cut them how ever you see best! Oh and I have what I consider one of the very best grinders made...there is some reasons why they are calling for that angle and most are not what going to make any deference on a grinder! (with a stone even less)
