peak-industry is a rep for a Chinese manufacturer of sawchain, bars, accessories, etc., of the same name. He has been active recently on A.S. too.
He claims that his company is the original manufacturer of a product familiar to some folks on this site:

UPDATE! Just found out that with considerable wear on the roller and using a 13/64” file on 3/8 chain that you do not sit high enough to sharpen completely to the top plate leaving an unsharpened cutting edge. I switched to a 7/32” file and was able to get a sharpened edge.

Something I have always wondered about.

The 'standard' / 'basic' guides support the files from the top plate, which should be consistent, regardless of the brand of chain, or amount of wear.



The roller guides support the files from below, which might position them inappropriately due to the cutter shape / geometry, etc., which may vary with the brand / model.

Archer FastFiler 3/8" 7/32" file.
Chains were still cutting well just got dull faster, so yeah there is a limit how much wear on the rollers is acceptable.


I tried the Archer FastFiler 3/8" Picco last weekend, I love these jigs!


Now, why isn't there a .404" FastFiler jig?

 

[Philbert]

Contact Archer and ask if those rollers are available as a replaceable wear part?

Philbert

 

[Wilhelm]

Meh, I'll make my own.

I may try different materials over time and see if something harder would last longer.
Rubber may also be interesting to try.

Now, who near me has a lathe.

 

[Philbert]

If you are using nylon, or similar materials, you could drill the hole, and chuck a mandrel in a drill press.

Today, 3-D printing might be an option.

Easier if Archer just sent you small bags of each size, and you replaced them like any other consumables (tires, files, sprockets, chains, socks, . . . )

I already have acetal/delrin rods off eBay in the diameter needed for the bottom rollers on the blue 3/8" FastFiler jig.
I just have to drill a hole properly centered and cut the rod down in length.
Till I get that done I am utilizing rollers of a second jig.

I purchased a 3/8" roller filing jig out of a Dolmar catalog, part number 953100055.
It is a BAHCO filing guide, article number 6924, Made in Sweden.
I have yet to give it a try, but it looks good.
It features no "stop" to file all chain teeth the same length, but with a simple modification I should be able to incorporate one myself.

 

[Philbert]

Plastic? Cast? More like Husqvarna or more like Archer Fast Filer?

I seems amazing to me the range of products still being produced for this simple task.

Philbert

 

[Wilhelm]

Yes, plastic mold.
Two main sections consisting of:
- the carrying frame which seats onto the bar and holds the moving section and the flip out raker gauge
- the moving section which holds two white plastic rollers

The two black plastic sections and the two rollers are held together by two steel pins.

I have not yet had the time to take a closer look at the BAHCO filing guide, lest give it a try.

I do not know how the Husqvarna filing guide looks like, but I dare say the BAHCO guide has strong similarities to the Archer FastFiler.

 

[Philbert]

I do not know how the Husqvarna filing guide looks like

They are pretty popular, due to their simplicity, and since you have very good visibility of the filing action. The grooves fit over the tie straps, and sometimes, need to be opened up a little for some chains or guide bars. Alloy body, with urethane (?) rollers, and steel depth gauge gauge.

STIHL also seems to have an overly-complicated version (I have never tried this one):

Owen,

Do you have photos?

Do you have a sample that we can evaluate?

Thanks.
