I have a Stihl MS251C with a brand new bar and chain, 3rd time the chain has been filed with a Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener then the gullet taken out hand filing. I have been filing chains for a while now so it's super sharp but as soon as I put it to wood it cuts to the far right and binds up, frustrating and also useless.
I'm at a loss for why it's doing it, like I said brand new bar (.325) brand new chain (.325) and nothing has changed with filing.
Even with small diameter wood it still twists and binds and then I end up walking away cussing.
I've had the saw for almost a year, never had this problem in my 10+ years using saws.
