Unless its a brand new chain I cant seem to get the bottom of the tiki straight. The bar always seems to go outta line when its a semidull/dull chain. I try using a file to sharpen it but it still never cuts as good. I've turned a 4ft log into 2ft just trying to get it straight and it drives me crazy. Only thing I can think of is to get a chainsaw mill, but I've never used one so I'm not sure how well it would work. Any suggestions would be great, Thank you.
