Rotate the file to bring the side of the file into the cutter more.
& your a little low on the left hand side.

Mike do you use a smaller file to clean your gullets out? I just dug out your chain you did for me for reference purposes. I don't wanna post pics unless it's ok with you.

I've been putting quite the angle on my gullets. Is that necessary?

Looks to me like they are getting better, but I really don't know for sure.

Well I tried it. I didn't get to test it against one of my round ground chain's, but it cuts good and it cuts straight. I tested it in some dead dry oak.

Here is a couple chains from a couple saws I purchased.
First two pics are from the 372xp..was extremely grabby, and bogged down the saw pretty bad. both grinds were exactly the same between 372 and the 390 when I received them.
After playing in the wood pile for a little while, I spent some time adjusting the 390xp chain...should have taken time to clean out the gullets, but it was getting late in the day. Here are the pics, after a tank of fuel. Huge difference...great chips, great chain speed...much faster cut!
