How to square file

[661joe]

Takes ALOT of practice to get good at it. Practice on converting older chains to square, so if you ruin it, no biggie. I kind of ruined a chain practicing.
You will see the guys that really know their stuff in here! They are helpful and give good guidance. I am still a rookie like you. LOL

There's a lot of really good-looking Cutters in here that is for sure. I will give it a whirl it can't be that hard.

How's the 200 t pull it? Is there a point where two sharp actually slows the saw down on the smaller ones or just too grabby? I guess what I'm asking is the time put into the chain worth the Gaines?

A 338 ran this one fine. Sharp doesn't have to be grabby.



Is it worth it? You'll have to make that call.

Any chance we can get a video of it being done or a picture of the file and angle that it's in. How well does it work on the smaller saws?

I don't have any issues filing picco or .325. I've done quite a bit of filing though, but still won't hold a candle to some of these guys though.

Properly filed square is way smoother than round could dream of

There will be lots of square filed chains here.

And files for that matter.
