Nate said those files are better than the last batch. I was going to stick with vallorbee but I may get some more of those now.

Are those the straight cut ones? I think those would be better for the left cutters. I just can't make myself to pay for them. Some of the prices are insane.

What was wrong with the last batch?

 

[mdavlee]

Yes I have both. They are high priced.

Nate said these are finished better than the last batch and cut better.

So you think you can square or round file.

We are hammering out the details of the chain build off round 3 right now. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/chain-build-off/chain-build-off-5237/

 

[Cut4fun]

All build off PS chains are now sent back.

Round 3 of the chain build off is in gear and we are going to do .325 050 chain this time.

That way it is little different and for all of us to learn from.
Since we have done full 3/8 in past 2 builds 3ci and open already.

I use a silvey razur sharp 2

It's fast and smooth and last just as good as round

Same here. I like semi-chisel when working in dirtier conditions.

I can't give up the smooth running of square any more..
I file square blunt for work and not for other.
I grind round for those who drop off chains sans one fella who actually pays extra for a hand filed square.

 

[Cut4fun]

I'm just to dam lazy to file square by hand for everyday stuff.
Did do a loop for a firewood cutter friend once. He was impressed with it in the hardwoods.

I tried to go back to round ,but thought something was wrong with the saw ,it just was not the same .

 

[Hedgerow]

At this point, I can touch up a square chain faster than grinding both sides of a round one.
Provided nothing horrible has happened to the chain.

Just by virtue of using sq. doesnt mean its faster than round. It's always about how good one is with a file.
A well filed sq. is just mere seconds faster than a good filed round.
It takes me 90 seconds to touch up a wood dull round, but 20 minutes to do a half assed job on sq., so its round for me.
