Thanks for that. Could well be me... :)

 

What you do is put the wee thing over the bar and then what I'm doing is sharpening it so that my file runs parallel with the edges of the thing that goes over the bar. Not sure if I should just be running the file in line with the wear mark.

The roller guide you have is a very good help.

 

If file is running straight on the rollers it is correct.

 

There are different rollers for different chains, you must make sure you have correct.

 

A tip.

Hold on back of the tooth with your index finger that isn't involved holding file.

Or other wice make sure it doesn't move, in same action you make the guide stable.

Another tip..

Place a cut bar in a vice in chest height or so so you stand good (at least on a table with you on a stool). Use good lighting!

This will help you get the same true cut over and over.

Yeah I do like the roller but i'm not sure if I have the right one. Can anyone tell me what one I should have for my saw. Not really sure how all the chain sizes work.
