How to square file

[RI Chevy]

Do you know what they charge offhand? Is it really worth it? I have a few that could get resharpened.

Save edge will sharpen their files when they get dull

I don't need no stinkin files, I got a grinder.

There is no buyers remorse here...

Just tried going on www.saveedge.com but resharpening page would not come up. I know this isn't much help but a few years ago it would have cost me about half the price of buying new from Baileys.

Looks like it says 6" file is $1.92 and 8" is $2.52

Beautiful setup you got there. Are you happy with the square chains it produces?

I was having to adjust the height after several strokes.


The double bevel is a little thinner than the 3 corner.

Many things I can't seem to do in addition to sharpening a chain - can't get a clear picture with the cell phone. Anyway, unless it is just me I think this is going to be a tooth by tooth adjustment on the height. Below are some shots of different cutters taking in sequence. As you can see the corner goes up and down. I also noticed some round corners - is the file wearing out? I used it a lot playing with the first chain - as in taking an 1/8" or more off many teeth. One thing is clear in the pictures: to go corner to corner on a Stihl chain you need close to 45 down angle. These were all filed at 30. Ron

Some more pictures. Notice the round corners.

I need to put some felt or rubber on the bottom of my base as it slides around now that I sanded and lacquered it.

Advice appreciated.

You gotta put it on some wood and try it. Looks OK. But I got a kink in my neck somehow. LMAO

My advise: forget the corner to corner stuff. I only know that people way smarter than me say it's a nearly unobtainable and useless quest. Something white behind the tooth will help with your pix. DW

The closer you get a corner to corner cutter the stronger the cutter will be a beak like Ron has there will be sharp for a few till the beak turns over.

I n very tried to hit the inside corner. It’s done easier with a grinder. Filing it really sucks to do.

Yea, but you have that special DNA

For me, corner to corner is very durable.
