Someone posted this a while back. I haven't bought one yet but they do look pretty handy. I seem to quite often sharpen one side a bit more than the other when I do them by hand.

I've got a skip tooth rip chain for the big bar but that's only one on one off. I take it that's a granberg chain, how much does that slow the cut? My skip doesn't seem to make much difference but the saw runs easier and the cut a bit smoother. I think granberg y also used to make a half tooth one.
No, not porn. Here's a double ender in action
Speaking of files, I succumbed to a pack of 12 .325s off Ali a while ago. Bloody cheap and I wasn't expecting much but they are easily as good as anything else I've ever bought. If anything, they held their edge longer!
-- just had a look, this seems to be them. Bit more expensive though at ~$1.50 each delivered incl GST

I must look into one as a backup mind you my bars a puny 47 inches that must be 56.
Clearly this thread needs a little more "sassiness" .........
Enter the Sachs-Dolmar PS-52 and its little helper the 221 TH. I also have an older version of the PS-52 with a different handle and ant-vibration assembly but it is currently awaiting new vibration isolators so the handle is off it.
And another double ender: this time splitting two ways
And 15 minutes later:
With 5 days of sunshine ahead, may get quite a bit of this done
used a similar set up with two 066 STIHLS on end of 6 foot bar...Roger Larsen from Ratehi owned it and we used to slab rimu in bush and get flitches at 750kgs then fly out under a jetranger...was fun times...and a good way to take out the old trees without leaving a huge scar on landscape...most of those trees had been left as in too hard basket to get wire rope down to...bluffs no problem to a whirlybird.
@ebf , big fan of Buckin Billy Ray . I think he was on the latest series of axmen .
McCulloch 1-51 and stihl 066 with sugi hara bar
Echo CS-900ESL I inherited from my father-in-law when he passed away 24 years ago. It weighs a tonne but has plenty of grunt. I just used it to tidy up a stump in all this lockdown busyness...
Father-in-law was a tough old bugger. He was still cutting his own firewood up until his passing at 72. He might have even purchased this new as I have the original owner's manual.
