Square ground files

[PJLink]

Hi All,

Need a little help. I need some files for 3/8" .063 square ground chain - NOBODY around me has any, and shipping from Baileys is way more than the cost of the files. Do any of you know of a place i can order online, or over the phone in the NY/CT/PA area?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been looking, in the uk... I can only find one place “chainsawbars” that sells them and as everyone says their expensive little buggers...

so if anyone else knows other places, in Europe ish... please tell

BTW...whats the best files for 3/8 & .325?
Gotta learn sooner or later!

They’re all the same in double bevel pretty much!

Well square is a little faster but it's also a pain in the behind to file .You have to do it backwards,into the cutter not away as normal with a round ground chain .To make it cut really good you have to have three points correct.The working corner,side plate and top plate right on the money which is not that easy to do .
I think most of the west coast crowd carry extra loops and use a grinder on those chains .

Yea only place I’ve found in the UK was chainsawbars, they only had the triangle files.
I got a dozen SaveEdge double bevels sent over from US. Pm me your address and I’ll send you one if you want.

I would really like to try a vallorbe file if anyone has any they are willing to send to the UK?

@dolkiafreak he’s probably send you some for actual shipping. A small envelope with them shouldn’t be that much.

I need to look into the square file thing, ie lack of sellers in the uk... and little if any choices. It seems like some I not all the Swiss made stuff goes to the US and has to come all the way back

Frawley’s in Iowa has Pferd brand for square. I have one of each style. They’ll do their part if I do mine lol. It’s under the chain grinders and file tab.

You have to remember we are falling timber everyday and sometimes paid off of Bushels or scale so there’s no time to file.

I see the Pferd files at Bailey's are $14 for the triangle and $15 for the flat ones. The twelve packs are either $140 or $150. Shipping should be a flat $10 per order under 50 pounds.

I'm learning to use regular rectangle and triangle files

Looking for some information on square file choices and availability, I ran across several, similar threads. Thought that we could direct them to the largest of these, below, so that everyone can share information with everyone else.
