Square files, the what and the where?

[Homemade]

So I had huskihl convert some of my chains to square. And now I’m a believer. So the question is, what files do you guys use (double bevel or triangular goofy) and where do you get them.

I haven’t found better bang for the buck than double bevel Bahco files from Abolox.

Triangular vs double is just personal preference for the most part.

I find flat files easier to get a good visual on the angles.
Triangle can have clearance issues on the side plates depending on what chain and what angles.

Chisel bit file may show more or less hits than double bevel. I believe Abolox tool calls them chisel bit files

Oh well..., last time I bought em they were closer to $5 and shipping was like $12, when you got 10 it worked out pretty cheap.

Must have been a glitch in the system when I was on before. I just checked again and shipping is $4.50 to my house. I had an amazon gift card from a while back so the total was only $0.87 that I ended up paying. I’ll have to use abolox tools in the future.

For 1 file???

 

[huskihl]

That’s gotta be for a dozen. They’re only like $6 or 7 in the store

An Ace Hardware down here has a few

If I went to a local hardware store and asked for a chisel bit file....well it would be a stupid question lol. You guys are lucky to get them under $10, list price for 1 Vallorbe single bevel is $33au. Buying buy the dozen gets the price down to like $12ish per file but you need to deal with Pferd or a file dealer not a saw dealer.

With the way prices are jumping year it isn't unexpected here. A drv for the FS90 that was $16 last year was $36 last week for me to buy one. Then on Sunday I checking on a Nikki fuel bowl from Briggs that I paid under $30 last August is now priced $100 yet the whole carburetor is only $110.

To be it is just plain price unreasonable.

I didn’t even realize Stihl had a file for square. I thought it strange that they sell chain but had no way to sharpen it accept the USG with the square attachment. Does OREGON sell chisel it files?

Believe it or not... It is for one...
And according to the listing one already sold.

Better hurry, only one left! Free shipping!

OMG. Unreal. I'd use an ax before I spent that much for 1 file. Lol

 

[cuinrearview]

Damn! I'm hitting the Ace up on my way home

Winner winner chicken dinner!


I got my files. Just what I had hoped for when ordering. Both files shipped to my door for just over $20.

Sharing these here too:

No idea if they are available to us in the US as these were shared by a guy overseas.
