How are you guys making the front of the rakers flat?
Just clamping them in a vice grip and filing them?

That's how I do it. I use an old db file.

Vallorbe seem to be better, but difficult to find

I clamp it at the edge of my chain vise and use a cutoff wheel

I like a 6” metabo myself. 9” works in a pinch.

Ive had my Vallorbe files for quite a few years.

Which ones work better Mike?

 

[huskihl]

30 down and 30 back is about all I can get

I just looked again. I can get 30 down and 40 back

I like the angled ones..

Everyone thinks I'm crazy though.
