Clean them gullets out now.

I'm a rookie at square chisel filing. I'm guessing the gullet is the lower part between the side plate and depth gauge?

the gullet is the spot under the sharpened part ,you want to round file that away ,it helps clear the chips

Glad you observed that. I'd never read or heard that. My Dealer told me just use a round .404 file to sharpen it?? Bought a flat 6-sided Vallorbe file to sharpen it. I'll definitely remove the gullets. Thanks

do you have a close up pic of the cutter ,where it was filed ? ,they are kind of hard to focus on with a camera ,so may be hard to take one ,you are filing outside in right ? to get your corner

Your dealer don't know what he is talking about. Use a small round file to clear the gullet. The 6 sided file will give you a better angle under the top plate.

I was thinking the same thing ,why would someone ruin a perfectly good chisel chain with a round file ?

Yes outside to in. Might try different angles later.

I agree Brian it takes me over 1 hour to ruin a round chain with a bevel file. 72 DL.

Only good thing my dealer has sold me was my 660.

What was the most popular (best seller) food? Fish tacos??
Down here in Louisiana, at festivals, it's usually meat pies and boiled crawfish.

here i one i hand filed ,notice the strap gets nicked ,that is ok ,just be reasonable how much strap is removed ,seems like line the inside corner up ,rest enough to lightly graze the strap ,and you end up with a pretty fast chain

Heck if i know.I just eyeball it.the freehand angle I holding that file .that's what the cutter ends up like.Ijust go for steep and deep on the angles.eyeballing it looks between 25 and ³0 on the top plate

Yes . a 6 sided
