hello I don't think my chain on my sthil ms 180 has enough hook I use a file guide and the angles look correct but the cutters are sloped back and it dosent seem to cut like it should any advice would be appreciated thanks in advance
allright well I not a pro at sharpening but I sharpend it yesterday 3 strokes on each tooth used the stihl file guide the angles look to be correct the length of the cutters are consistent but the chain cutters don't have much hook...reckon I should try to do it without the file guide and try to get the gullet back
That's the most important tool of the entire process. Too large a file would definitely destroy the hook. Hope that's not what is going on here.Do you have the right size file?
