    Here is one nice dok I borrow from a poster on Swedish forestry forum. http://www.skogsforum.se/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3800 It will show a bit of the types and files used. The amount of blades and saws they made is mind bogling... Stridsberg & Björk was another big one here.

    Sandvik had many types of cutting sequences and a hole bunch of different teeth. This was to accommodate the different needs and wishes.

    I lived next door to a guy that was working as a filing guy in the local mill for about 30 years. He used to tell stories about the first saws and how he filed the chains for people... McCulloch had scratcher on the first two models, but after that I don't think that option was there anymore...

    I am learning how to file these chains. It is not bad at all when you cut a bit with them. No matter how dull it is it still cuts, or rather rip's of fiber... When they are really sharp they do work fine! Remember these saws are rated about 7-10hp most of them and use huge bar's! If it were...
