Hi,

I am disassembly an old retaining wall made of railroad ties. I get
about 3 cuts per chain saw chain before they become uselessly dull.
Forget a hand saw or axe. Is there a better way to cut those things? I
have a lot more cuts to make.

Thanks,
Gary

Years ago I built a retaining wall with railroad ties and use a chainsaw
to cut them to fit.
I did not have any trouble doing so.

But I have to ask. And not snicker because I have seen this happen- is it
possible the chain is on backwards?

I bought a little chain saw at a yard sale. Didn't cut worth a darn.
Chain on backwards. But he implies he sharpens his and it's good
for 3 more cuts, No, he buys another one, but still.



If he is cutting down a wall I bet he is hitting stone or grit and that is
killing his blade

I'll bet your right.
