As of now I have a 91dl Carlton chain on my 460. I don't like the chain because my 13/64 file just makes a deeper gully and doesn't take back the cutting edge when I pair it with my husky clip on file guide. Anyone else cross this issue? I'm just hand filing it now till I burn it up. My Stihl loops all sharpen perfect with that set up.
Another issue that I found is the rakers don't file down easy like they're hardened. I have never used nor never will use a grinder on my chains. I thought my Raker file was shot so I went to my dealer to pick one up. 5.00 for a damn file, eat s***. How come they're so speedy? And I also saw another thread here that someone said Carlton is hard to file the rakers so is that pretty consistent? And what other kind of file can I use for rakers that I don't have to give my arm and leg for?
Thanks guys merry christmas
