Make sure the small guide roller stays well lubed. For me the guide roller is is an important part of the process. You can muscle the slide enough to flex it and the result is inconsistent cutter length. If you stop filing just as the guide bar contacts the roller the cutter length will be super accurate. With a little care you can make mega sharp chains.

unless you know a dealer with one on the shelf, these fg2s are discontinued from stihl.
