First square file touch up. It was just round. I mostly buy LGX and square file it.

I think I read it somewhere that LGX has taller cutters then RS.
Is this right Mike?

I can go look and measure. I think I have a loop of RS.

View attachment 21634 i got one of each of these

Not trying to be an ass, but you should've got 2 of each, I went thru 1 file converting 2 16" chains from round to square, might have just been me and my technique, might be save edge wasn't made for the hacksawing job I did?

If you're rough on them they won't last. I've filed a dozen chains with one vallorbe

Yes, I was...I filed both directions with it...

from what i've seen and read i should file into the tooth and pressure only on the forward stroke? ( i still haven't recieved my files yet so this is just for chits and Giggles)

That's how I do it. The steadier you can keep the tooth the better your results will be

 

[Gunn]

Most files are designed to cut on the push stroke. Dragging them back through the material just wears them out twice as fast.

 

[Wolverine]

Yep, don't ever let a file touch on the back stroke! One way daniel-san

 

[Wolverine]

Also, use some sort of brush to keep the file clean. Every couple strokes I use one of these.

 

[quietfly]

Yup already have one and used it on the other files
