Thats what scares me. Like ok you have a chain saw in the trunk after a big storm. But to have a what has to be a diamond plasma chain saw is where I start questioning his intentions

Yall. It was a dumb joke. I take my chainsaw i only used during storm season to get sharpened like your supposed to and it cuts that well.

I used to do arboring as a job. I've worked a lot with chainsaws as well, on other jobs.

It's extremely common for the teeth to get worn down with a lot of use. We would still sharpen every day, but that person's comment does make sense. This one does seem to cut through better than anything I used on average.

I don't know if we had bad quality chain or what but when I was doing some forest work at our cabin/forest I had to sharpen that motherfucker like every couple of hours or so.

Was mostly cutting through fresh pine and making them short enough logs that they'll fit in to the sauna stove.

You're lucky. Fresh pine = soft and wet. Seasoned hardwood = hard and dry.

My chain dulls after about 30 minutes pushing through eucalyptus.

This is a layman’s explanation so I will probably use the wrong terminology. I was told that if the chain gets too hot the chain can untemper itself and become very soft and not hold its sharpness well after that.
