    That is easy for you to say ?

    That is for the same reason the top plate drops down as you file back down the slope sooo the rakers need to be 1/5th of the file diameter below the top plate so it will be more as the top plate becomes lower .

    Ok . If that works for you its all good . To be honest I have not done a lot of it ( despite what people may think ) . I wanted to try it and when I researched it that was the recommended way .

    Also when you get to the dropping down a file size stage its worth taking the gullets out as well with an 020 size file .

    No . Stihl GB are just young . ? Don't forget if you square file a full chiz its done from the outside in rather than from the inside out as pr round ground full chiz

    I did it successfully with a Robina ( false Acacia ) Felled it and left the stump . It sprouted from the stump with multiple shoots as a coppice would . I selected the thickest , strongest shoot . retained that and periodically removed any others . It became a tree again , almost as large as the one I felled . Had to remove it in the end as I was going to block pave the area .

    Been doing that for years if I happen to have the slightly smaller file but its not critical . Certainly not " advanced " ! ?
