Welcome to OPE
Thats one agressive tooth you filed. Nice work !!
Big forward lean and top plate angle ............. keep rakers tall otherwise that chain is going to be a grabby sucker

Square ground sucks for firewood...Well, the sawing is over too soon, then the works starts.

Looks very, very sharp!

I was trying to compare the top plate angle with mine. Looks like mine is maybe 15*, and yours is maybe 30*.
Your square filed tooth is much nicer looking. LOL

That's a lot shorter than the next one to the right. Will you hand file all that extra?

Good evening gentlemen, first post on here, i appreciate all the tips and pics you all have provided, been trying to square file for awhile with not much success, i bought one of the granberg g106b file guides and have to say it really works well for me, i set it up on a new chain to fiqure the angles, they may not be perfect but it gives me a pretty starting point, this is the fist cutter with the file guide, thank you all for the tips and pointers.

This was matched up on a new chain, and that's what the angles come out too, not sure how it will cut but i got a starting point anyway.
