A stump vice comes in handy too.
Depth adjusted with the flat file at the same time.

Nice pics! Yes you can see I’m using a yellow clamp here, but I also have a stump vice

I use full chizel chains, and have a hard time seeing the quality of a semi-chisel sharpening, but it is a drastic improvement over what you started with. Ultimate validation is in the wood. Pics of wood chips required.
All good, sharpened the .325 chain just the same way and got great results here. Will take a photo of this when I get a chance to get out and use it
Tooth looks ok, could use a little more hook, but that's the way these guides are setup, makes for a durable tooth. Definitely clean out the gullet a bit. Overall the chain should cut well enough, light years better than before no doubt.
Thanks for the info! I have lots and lots to learn about sharpening chains.
Same idea as the Pfred file.
I wonder if their patent ran out or Stihl brought the rights?

I'm assuming Stihl pays Pferd to make them. I have 1 of each and they are identical besides color.
I use my 2 in 1 every other time I sharpen. Mainly to take takers down. I don’t think the 2-1 makes a deep enough gullet. I like sticky sharp
