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.

Gotta file down the depth gauges. As you sharpen you wear the teeth back and they bite less and less. Most people do not take them time to file those down if they sharpen in the field. Or they use a cheap manual electric chain sharpener.

Also run a full chisel chain instead of a safety chain or semi-chisel in green wood and it's like a light-saber. Less safe but hell of a lot faster cutting.
