I was looking at the husqvarna roller file guide,looks like it would be a little better than freehand filing,will they work with oregon full chisel chain?
They sure will, they are made for Oregon chain - just make sure you get the right one!

Yea i saw that they had different ones avalible,i think i will order me one.
Thanks for the info.
Pretty sure that you need to put the raker in the smaller notch in the plate. It's going to stick up farther because of the increase in angle....
....Just make sure you use the right notch, one is for hardwood and the other is for softwood.
As it was mentioned earlier in the thread, The most important part of this gauge is to keep your file the right height to the cutter. I think that this is far more important then if your off a couple of degrees on your angle, especially if you don't have alot of experience in hand filing chains....Only downfall to this type of guide is that the rollers are pretty soft and wear rapidly and they require some modifications if you plan on using them on stihl chains.
Makes sense now. Thanks !The front notch is for the small ramps in front of the rakers on LP, VP, BP etc chain.
Will do.Look a the edge with a good light source, you should not see any light/glare on the edge after.
