What happens here

Before starting the cutting tests, each chainsaw's chain is inspected. This involves removing the chain to check for proper installation, sharpness, and signs of wear. For instance, a Makita gas chainsaw's chain is found to be installed backward, and the guide bar shows bluing, indicating overheating due to a dull chain being used for too long. Similarly, a DeWalt chain is inspected, revealing that the sharpening file used previously was too large, potentially damaging the chain links.

Goal: Identify issues with chainsaw chains before sharpening.

just dive right into today's video all right so I got one two three four five chains on chain saws let it be sharpened up [Music] this chain is on backwards obviously they are directional and you can tell that which way the teeth are facing so these the points are facing back which is backwards this part goes forward like that [Music] another thing looking at this bar you can tell at some point the chain was really dull on here and it continued to get used I started getting really hot and how you can tell is the bar here starts turning blue so that's an indicator that this got used for quite a bit longer than it should have with the dull blade and everything started getting real
