Talking They put Man on the moon many years ago but

still can't design self-filing rakers? Waddup widdat?
Until NASA releases such a design, what are the best tools/method you use?

Never used it, but there is something out there that hits the rakers while you sharpen the cutter. Both at same time.

just bought some, used and am happy.
Note to NASA, forget the self-filing rakers and just design us a stay-sharp chain.

Come to think of it, if you could buy such a beast, what would everyone pay for it? If you ever did chip a tooth, and it needed a $100 grind by a special tool, would it still be worth it?

Doing some quick sums in my head, I's pay $400 for such a chain, if not more.
