Chain filing guides.

[Rich2484]

Ok so after having a few saws coming through the bench now I'm looking for filing guides for chain makes.

 

Got Oregon, stihl, and archer chain guides but nothing else. Also have a few with no names on them come through so can't I.D the chain to see what the filing angle and size are. Or the depth guide clearence should be. Just guess the ones with no names by looking at the size of the chain on the bar.

 

Anyone or any links to guides or tables for chains.?

Page four copied and saved. Thank you goaty. Doesn't give the angle but does give the file size. Trying to build up a good folder that is easy to refer to rather than searching on the Internet all the time.

 

Try this one hazz.

rich if you are going to be fixing saws all the time what about getting a bench mounted one

Bench mounted what? Grinder or hand filing tool thingy?

 

I don't like the grinders as they are too easy to take too much off and heat the cutters up too much.

 

Just looking for guides for chains and there file size and angles. Usually just do a google search but sometimes doesn't work.

bench mounted grinder but you are the same as me so i use the husky file guides as they are handier and nicer than the rest i have used so stick to the file guide angle and don't worry to much but file size is different but use 3/16 for .325 and 7/32 for the 272 but i know the fealing trying to match up chain and file sizes it not easy
