How to square file

I hate shag bark, it likes to yank on your chain

Even frozen pine will be rough on chains.

I cut some frozen green hickory today.
Amazingly hard and ruff on a chain

What are you all talking about??
It helps keep chains cool.. lol.

I've used race chains in February without much issue. But there were no stop watches either.
In Grantsburg, WI
I think the high that day might have hit 12 or so..

Good times...

3 types here in the farm
All 3 are awful to cut down and up but it burns deliciously

We raced in Shagbark in Ind one time. I set the good chains aside and pulled out the square work chains.

This is my first time square filing. Been wanting to try it for awhile, so I got some files finally. This is the first and only one I did so far. Wanted to get some feedback from the experts before I went any further.

Nope[emoji15] I just picked out a different chain to square file. That was just a practice chain if I ruined it.

 

[t4driller]

First one of different chain.

What file are you using? Doesn't look like a double bevel
