Best Chain sharpener/method

[Arob]

If you've got a bench vice you might find this more stable than a field vice, might help if you put the chainbrake on before you sharpen each cutter.

that guy has got the special edition pink stihl, hmmm nice

 

i use husky roller file guides, get on well with them and they are quick and easy to use

[Andy R]

not being a stihl man I take it both those saws will need the same size file?

 

I'm guessing the ms180 will be a 5/32 and the ms390 a 7/32...

I've just seen my stand and van in the background of that clip, I'll make sure the van is sign written this year. ;-)

just seems a bit of a daft question.

 

Didnt realise you had to be an expert before you had to post. Just wanted to make sure I got it right. If there is a place for good info I think I have found it. Sorry for being a novice.

 

Thanks to all who where helpfull.

Dont be put off by the one or two derisory comments now and again, some seem to forget that they had to learn once. Sharpening comes easily to some, others struggle for a long time to get it right. Most file guides have clear marking of angles for the relevant chains. if you have any doubt which file size you require, just ask at your dealers. Welcome to the forum:001_smile:

I heard of one company painting all its expensive tackle pink, including van and chipper, as a theft deterrent. Pretty good idea
