Sharpening file size

[Philbert]

Now that's interesting! I have always used them level and not noticed any issues. Which manufacturer's instructions tell you to rest the guide on the depth gauge?

From a STIHL manual.


I’ve seen it other places too. Not sure if I 100% agree, especially, if you consider @Okie ‘s comments, above.

But, generally, I have seen instructions to only file level with it: NOT at a 10° ‘down angle’. STIHL does not recommend a ‘down angle’ at all.

But if you buy the same thing under the Pferd name, you will save about $10. I guess orange plastic costs more than blue.

Less likely to be stolen too!
