I read a bunch of posts and looked at many pictures. Aside from pictures I have no good chain to reference for correct geometry. I'm using a file I'll take a picture of. Whoever sharpened this chain either didn't know it was square or didn't care and tried something. It's a bit butchered but I'm just trying to get the basics down and practice before I go wrecking a good chain. I cannot cut with this chain as I have no bar. My biggest concerns are obviously am I doing it correctly. And why am I hitting tie straps so badly
Before I touched it
After I did some work. Not completely don't just want to make sure I have the correct basic shape. I know gullets need cleaning and side plate is all wonky but I'll have to really take a lot of to clean that up I believe.
And this is the pair of files I'm using. Either file I use I tend to hit the tie strap.
