We have discussed the merits of filing vs. grinding, and chisel chain vs. semi-chisel chain. We have also discussed how full chisel chain is normally filed at a 10 degree 'down angle' (or ground with the vice tilted 10 degrees), while semi-chisel chain is filed/ground flat (sometimes referred to as a '0 degree down angle', sometimes as '90 degrees').
Since i never run full chisel chain, it never occurred to me that the 10 degree angle is difficult to file with the Oregon type file holders. Please see the note at the bottom of the image below, taken from an Oregon spec sheet.
Is this correct? Is is also a problem with the Swedish style roller guides?
