I have exactly one chainsaw that I actually paid money for , and it's the one that gives me the most trouble ... most recently it's been wanting to wander in the cut and bind . Turns out Randy (the neighbor) was right , this time it's my fault - poor job of sharpening . I let the angle of the teeth get off on one side . Fortunately I have a file guide that helped me correct that and now it's cutting much better . Figgered while I was at it I should check the other 2 saws , and sure enough I need to do some cleanup on them too . Gotta get some wood put up for winter 2016-17 . I already have what should be enough for this coming winter from last summer/fall's cutting . I prefer to burn wood that's seasoned at least a year . Other projects include some progress on my 9:1 reduction gearset and building a device to weigh my bee hives . I have a 110lb dial scale set up on a lever system so I can weigh up to 330 lbs with it . 3 settings for 1:1 , 2:1 and 3:1 , though I don't expect to be using the X3 very often . -- Snag
