I have one for 3/8 picco. Works slick. I've gone to square on everything else though.

3/8 picco 325 and 3/8 in stihl and the pferd has the 7/32 files says 404 but some 3/8 chain makers suggest the 7/32

i usually just try to match original angle of the chain you can do any angle you want with them just keep them consistent

Yup. I got 2 Pferds. They have 2 files and the center raker file. 3 total. I have .325 and 3/8. I think they are 3/16" and 7/32nds. My 3/8 chain states to use 7/32nds. Only Stihl 3/8 uses 13/64ths.
I cannot see the witness marks on the cutters when using the 2 in 1 file. I just try and keep the plastic angle flush with the bar. Seems to work OK.
I don't use the 2 in 1 every time. I only use it about once every 5 times. The other times I just use the single file with the guide.
