Depth guage tool - does a faster way to get depth guages right exist?

[Steve Bullman]

im sure he can get them. wonder who the distributor for them is. personally i didnt get on with the pferd files, id have to change that!

i gave the pferd files a go and found them really coarse which aint too good when your only putting the edge back on a saw but they are really useful if someone has deced the saw and you need to take quite a bit of dammaged chain off . has and one seen or used the bar dressing tool ?? i have had one for a few years and really reccomend them

Looks like you can get them here too.

Thanks Ed that looks really good - I shall certainly get one of these... Can see exactly how it works... Although I am an avid fan of 12 volt grinders for getting the teeth sharp... so ideally a seperate 12 volt tool for the depth guages would be perfect.

 

It seems strange that there is a myriad of 12 volt style sharpeners and bench grinders but no machine that will take the depth guages down accuratley... Time for you to invent something in your wee shed there I think Stevie !!

 

Recently (last year or so) I've started to realise just how important the depth guages are in getting that saw cutting well. When I take the time and trouble to get all the teeth right and all the depth guages right the chainsaw feels totally different - so smooth and fast.

 

Currently I use a battery angle grinder with flap disc method but as your dealing in thousandths of an inch you never get it spot on....
