Stihl Bench Mount Filling Tool

[liamjordan]

Hi Guys, was just flicking through the new stihl catalogue and just saw this bench mounted filling tool (5604 000 7501) and it might be usefull to me, i was wondering if any knows anything about it? Can you set it at non standard angles, for example angles like 0 and 5 degrees for ripping chains? Im started to do a bit more alaskan milling and this might be helpfull.

 

Thanks!

I have the oregon version of that, which you mount on the bar, to be honest its a right pain and very slow but yes if its the same as the oregon then you can set it at 0 and 5 degrees

I've got the stihl bar mounted one and never use it. I think they're a waist of time.

Exactly that Stevie. Painstakingly slow.

Also so you cant rotate the file as you stroke and end up with a flat spot.
