Using a 4mm File instead of 4.5mm

Makes sense that the Pferd will create correct top plate angle so that will be fine.

I would just also follow with a hand file lower down to clear out the gullet, not too critical but just keep chip flow clear.

 

I find it easier to open the gullet a bit first, then work the actual "hook" cut with the lift and twist.

 

(Also if you slip while opening the gullet you don't damage the edge you've just cut.)

 

Keep getting chains at work with no gullet and no hook where our lemons have "sharpened" them.
