My chain has been sharpened for years and years, and not by a person who is a good chain sharpener (me). I wonder, is it possible to tell if I should take a little off my rakers without using a proper raker gage? I stretched the chain out on a flat metal table and some of the rakers seem to be even with the top of the tooth. Wouldn't this indicate a need to touch up the rakers? Is this an acceptable method? Got a better idea? Can't afford a gage right now.
