Square ground chain

[Moley]

Does anyone here use square ground chains and if so what are the pros and cons and ultimately is it worth it?

Do you mean full chisel chains, eg rapid super stihl etc? If so then yes- on all saws other than the mill ripping chain and the top handles.

No I mean instead of using a round file you use a square edged file. I've heard of them used in the US and Canada and that they are quicker cutting, but thats all. I'm intereste dt know if anyone over here uses them, and if not then why?

Never come across a square file so not sure.... won't the round ones be fine anyway?
