its probably no problem to use one. however the only thing that might crop up is "whats the point?" in a general work climb, you only have a few minutes to get around and down. all the stations have a task that wont require one and will just take time to set it up. I could say it may be ok in the masters?

Without getting too technical, im not sure what the settings are? Generally on husky chains and the roller guides there is a depth guage guide attached to the side of it. Probably best to A-Identify the chain, Find it on a filing chart and read across. you could also use the operators manual and the regular catalogue for help?

I thought Moulton wasnt too bad? whats gone wrong?

One is twisted, one is straight????? Seriously, If you look down the shank (the long bit that runs up the leg) you will notice a twist in the metalwork, this means they are L and R specific due to the direction of turn. Straight shanks are just straight up and down. If you already have your 38 ticket, the instructor should have explained this. If you are still to go on the course, the instructor should(?) be able to provide spikes?

just use the regular stihl file guide, it also comes in a kit!
-
It all stems from the old days. a 3/8th chain was a 3/8th chain. and use a 7/32 file. job done. Modern technology means there are numerous pitches of chains (0.325, 3/8, 0.404) that now have different sized teeth. it means a 3/8 chain by one manufacturer may always be filed differently to another 3/8th chain. there are differences even in-house! oregon 35lg is a 0.325 chain, files with a 5/23 file. oregon 22lp is a 0.325 chain, files with a 3/16 file.
-
Dont worry, they will bring it back when they see it wont cut........ 1, find a name written on the chain 2, Stihl chains have basic type written on depth guage, all others have basic type written on drivelink 3, use the manufacturers filing charts, find your chain and read across to find file sizes, angles, and sharpening kits used. 4, HINT - use manufacturers own tools for chain. (and for the record, a stihl 3/8th chain most commonly found on a 361 takes a 5.2mm or 13/64 file)
