Sharpening milling chains

[tater_51]

Hi, for sharpening milling chains does Stihl make a 2 & 1 file for the 3/8 7/32nd ripping chain. I see that Pfred makes a sharpener that is for the 7/32nd but I don't see it listed for Stihl. Stihl does have the 3/8 5.5 mm, is that the same? I have the Oregon ripping chains 3/8 115 DL .063 gauge. Thanks, Terry

Pferd makes the 2in 1 for Stihl. They are the exact same. The 3/8 ones have 13/64 files in them. The one for .404 chain has 7/32 files but the guide bars are too far apart to use it on 3/8 chain. You can modify the 3/8 one to fit 7/32 files by using a 7/32 drill bit turning it by hand or using the file itself turning it by hand as well.

Run the 7/32. All I run are Stihls 3/8 chains and the 7/32 is perfect. Stihl list some off size 13/64 to sell a file. The difference is 1/64th.
