Depth Gauge Tool (Progressive)

[Aggie 2012]

Quick question,
Is this the right depth gauge tool to have from Husqvarna? (Going to purchase a Granburg File N Joint to try my hand at chain sharpening)
I have was reading Bigfellascott's thread from April but I am a newbie on all of this so I wanted to make sure I got the one that allows for the angled progression?

Not sure if this image showed up (I have only uploaded from Tapatalk before)

Yes. Those work very well for me.

Thank you Mr B-Rad. I was sure hoping you would weigh in here

In wood like Ash, on a Stihl RS chain, the hard setting will give you a chain that self feeds very well yet cuts as smooth as butter.

The chain on this saw was just filed and the rakers set using the gauge you posted above. At the 1:30 mark you can see that it continues to cut well even with no pressure, yet there is no jumping and jerking at any time in the video.

That's a bad B!

Is the .325 knerf plate different than the standard .325?

I need to buy for the
3/8
3/8 picco
.325

They're made specifically for each gauge.

Hi Bsnelling, I just bought 2 of those husky flat plate raker gages 1 for .325 and 3/8 And neither of them are lining up for the raker in the slot . They Are both regular stihl chains. What brand chain are you running

Can I try to file the plate somehow so it works properly and lines up the raker in the slot
