Came across this a while ago, some of you might find it interesting bearing in mind the cost of proper engineers files these days.

Thanks for the replies, well impressed with th saves edge round files but can't find the flat ones, use bacho in the workshop so maby I will try one of those on the fakers,

I generally use whatever my dealer has in stock, but I do ask to have a look and I feel the teeth.

The coarser the better at the moment I have husky flat files they have a bit more bite than the last lot of stihl ones I bought online

What are they? couple of quid each.

 

Can't say I've ever really fretted over quality, they usually get to the bottom of the tool box and disappear in to the "matter" that lies there before they wear out.

This sort of "matter"

Hi,

 

 

 

My Oregon file has about had it now so I am going to order a few. I never really felt that the Oregon had much bite to it so I was wondering what others used, noticed valorbe on chainsaw bars site are they any good? Only used for rakers as use a different file for bars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks all

I use Bahco round chainsaw files which are in made in Portugal if that means anything.

Found this as well
