How to square file

[concretegrazer]

I ended up rotating my vice perpendicular to the bench so the cutters were facing me. Much more comfortable.

I think I'm done derailing everyone's conversation now...lol. Thanks to everyone that gave me guidance. The helpfulness of all the members here never gets old.

Your not derailing. Post away. Especially with pics.

Yes, no, maybe? I filed the gullets square because that's what I seen John do in his you tube video.

Filing LH cutters are a real beach at first.

I received a @mdavlee chain today. Which I failed to mention to Mike that I received it. Hopefully I'll get some pointers from it and see how mine compare.

Same loop of RSL. More angle is after I filed it. That's the loop I ran all the saws with.

He filed one of mine when he was up this way, it does help to see how it is suppose to be done

Ya he left the area way to early! Lol I wanted to come down and meet a bunch of you guys. You can only judge a picture so much. I'm more of a hands on learner.
