Which file sharpening kit do I need!?

[Rich Owen]

Hi there, new here but hope you can help. I want to learn to sharpen my own chain, but a somewhat baffled by which file kit I need! Sorry if this is a basic question... I bought a 1/4 " husqvarna kit with 2x round files and 2x square and a guide some time back but only opened it today as I finally got round to trying to sharpen my chain - seems to be too small, which is somewhat annoying... no doubt my bad and lack of experience. I've checked out the Husqvarna site where I have learnt, there are many different types of file kit. Question is, which one do I need? I have attached a photo of my chain bar which hopefully gives all the details that are necessary.. I actually have an Oregon chain rather than husky..

Any help gratefully received.

Will be a 4.8mm for .325

 

I like the oregon guides like this one

Above is a print out of a stihl file size guide - left column = chain pitch in inches and mm and right hand column = file diameter.  The stihl kits have everything you need to maintain a chain - search for "Stihl filing kit for 0.325 inch chain"
