Good to know, I'll probably snag some of the Stihl loops in time. After removing the bar nose steering attachment from my saw carriage I magically have a 1/4" kerf with the Carlton chains...

What are you using to sharpen your chains? I'm using a Granberg Grind N' Joint that is working pretty well and doing a fairly good job of keeping the cutters even. I like that I can power it off my tractor, but I would like something more precise in the future.
I'm an old school hand filer. I do use a pferd file holder sometimes on the milling chains.

For crosscut chains I can do a good job just freehanding a round file

I really like the 63 pmx chain, but it's damm expensive. I should have got a roll when Left coast/Greg was still in business
Carlton used to be really good chain when original owners ran the show. I'm not a big fan of blount

After finding this thread I tried to look up Left Coast and then read about that tragedy. It's a shame because Bailey's is like $.67 per drive like on the 63 PMX.
