I found that the Husqvarna roller guide I picked up is set for a 25 degree angle vs 30 and it didn’t seem to fit on the Stihl RS chain too well. After sharpening my other chains with the roller guide a number of times with what seems to be good results I tried free hand on the 3/8 Stihl RS. I’m using a 7/32” file instead of the 13/64” like the Stihl box calls for but that’s what I have available for now.
I haven’t cut with this chain since sharpening it but seems to me that I have too much hook if I compare to the mark on the side plate. I’m also not sure about the burr on the lower part of the side plate/gullet area. Will that likely come off when the chain gets into wood?
Edit for grammar.
Thanks for any ideas you have.
