Depth gauge setting
Lowering depth gauges
The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened because
the top plate of the cutter slopes
downward towards the back.
Use a piece of hardwood to remove
burrs from cutting edge.
a
Check angles with the filing gauge.
All cutters must be the same length.
:
Check the depth gauge setting
every time you sharpen the chain.
If the cutters are not the same length,
they will have different heights. This
makes the chain run roughly and
increases the risk of breakage of the
chain.
The depth gauge determines the height
at which the cutter enters the wood and
thus the thickness of the chip removed.
:
Find the shortest cutter and then file
all other cutters back to the same
length – it is best to have this work
done in a workshop on an electric
grinder.

from the filing gauge, the depth
