Oberg,okay . They seem to be rather hard to find in this country. What few I have came from E-bay . The last I got was 3 dozen 1/4" for use on 1/2" chain .

I'm not really whining just reiterating it is extremely hard . You don't file out a rocked Stihl chain ,you grind it .;) Oh say,I got a dozen of those files Baileys just started selling ,Arbor pro or something like that .Less aggresive than Pferds but it does a-okay on Stihl chains from my...

Do as you wish but if you are filing bone fide Stihl chain you had best have a good file because that stuff is as hard as twice hammered hell .We are talking hard chain here . I'm a tight wad about most things but not files ,buy them several dozen at a wack from Baileys .

Pferd files are good ,probabley one of the best . Oburg is also good but I don't think they are in business any more . I've heard good reports on a company called save an edge but I've never used them myself .

Oh only me .I had ported an 038 Av ,simple widdening every thing type of thing .That damned thing wouldn't cut hot butter .In my haste I had put the stinkin chain on backwards ,duh . About the time you think you know somethings it hits you,still dumb as a box of rocks .:roll:

Well you might try putting it on back assward after a time .It might cut better --and by the way anybody that says they have never put a chain on backwards is handling the truth carelessly .;)

Well for sure it takes some time to learn to file correctly .Some pick it up fast and some do not .Some never do . You have to learn what works best for you .Some file all the lefties then the righties .Some flip the saw down side up . I go over the top,lefty ,righty etc . What ever works is...

The only way to get good at it is to do it .What ever brand of chain it is ,the directions are on the net .
