    Lifespan of a file

    Emergency Storage ideas Some people use the cheap rubber gloves and store the file in old used ones. The gloves disentigrate after a while in atmosphere unless you are using nitrile type. Some guys keep files in an old glove, cloth but preferably a leather glove.

    Lifespan of a file

    keep em separate and clean Most distributors / manufacturers told me the designed life for a file is enough to keep a loop sharpened for its useful life. The only problem with this "thumbrule " is they don't know the size of the loop ! Some told me 16 inch and others can't remember. Then...

    Stihl File Guide: Does Size Matter?

    Adjustable or preset Depends if the file guide will adjust for the change in hieght of the file. Does the files gude have multiple "angle and height" adjustments then the answer is yes. If all you do is slide the file into the sharpener hole with height and angles are preset then probably...

    Chemical Sharpening

    chemical filing If some of you guys take an entire chain apart sending 40 plus hours retooling it to make it faster by a machining process then I figuire you could refine it even better by using a chemical solution. I would be suprised if racers have not considered this process for the...

    .404 on Husky 385

    404 vs 3/8 There was a big debate on this last year. It finished with several people actually timing each type of chain in controlled conditions. Same size, type of wood, same saw etc. The 3/8 cut faster than the 404. Search the past posts for the details. 404 works better on long...
