Hey, new to posting but I have been lurking a while. I recently bought a used ms360. I went to my Stihl dealer to get some bits and pieces. I asked for a chain and a file with holder. My saw has an 18" bar and uses 3/8". The owner gets me a file and holder stamped for a .404" with a 7/32" file. I ask him if that is for that chain and he says he doesn't stock the ones for the
3/8" because all the pros use the size he gave me on 3/8" chain to cut something down on the chain. I say well that isn't gonna fit right and he says it will take a little longer the first time you use it on a 3/8" chain.
What file should I use? Are all those file holders the same in regards to how they hold the file?(I mean could I stick a 3/8 file in one marked for a .404?)
