Is there some reason for the hardness variation in chain cutters and gauges?

[QUOTE="heimannm, post: 7625884, member: 8552"] I was sharpening a few chains this week (40 or 50 altogether) and found one in particular, Stihl manufactured, that the depth gauges were inconsistently hard. It seems to be a very surface effect, once I got the fist swipe with the file the rest of the way was fairly normal. I have seen this a number of times; in my experience anyway is always seems to be limited to the surface and once you make a swipe of two with the file the rest is pretty normal. I always attributed this to some work hardening or case hardening effect from working the chain or getting it hot then quenching it either in the air, the snow, of the nice damp soil behind the log.
