Ed Zachary. I'd been wanting to try it and there was a 1/4" file laying out by itself in the store, so I grabbed it. Works pretty good on newish chain but would be too big once the chain is worn back a ways. Gets the gullet and makes a nice arc all in one shot. I've only tried one tooth on a couple different brands of chain, haven't done a whole chain yet.Bigger file?
I've found out 5.2mm file is too small for new chain! I thought i was too dumb to file chains..
Stihl with their large 3/8 Pitch Chains call out a 13/64 File for it's sharping, just how many people have a 13/64 file?
There are .404” and harvester chains that take larger files.What application are 1/4" saw files for anyway?
