Give us a few pointers on the round file Jeremy. Im interested in round file more lately

Can't finish the saw till I get the parts, should be within a week. I'm getting them for both the 460 & 044.

I just showed my next door neighbor how to square file yesterday. He ran that 460 with a 20" square file chain, and was hooked!

I thought I could file pretty good until I got a 410 fileing vise.... Man what a difference it makes! I have never got em as sharp as I can now

Homelite 410 vise?

 

[Deets066]

Homelite 410 vise?

Yup

 

[MustangMike]

I'm sure that would improve the sharpness, but I would have to take the chain off the saw! I generally don't.

What do them things cost???

Once you use that vise taking the chain off is nothing.

 

[mdavlee]

$100~. I rarely sharpen on the saw at home. If I sharpen in the field I make do.
