You make it look too easy! How about a filing vise to let you use 2 hands to guide the file?

Even with a vise I file with one hand.

Once you find angles you like ,it gets easier ,holding the file right is the key ,if can hit the corner of the cutter and graze the tie strap for a depth gauge ,all your cutters should come out pretty even .Also do not push too hard on the file ,let the file do the work .

Do your cutters look close to mine ? if hitting the strap ,should be pretty good angles ,i get a little carried away sometimes though

Good vids guys. Brian, I liked the square filin' video. Dang that was relaxing. That's one good sounding 7900, Mike. Well those all sound good.

I got some time to do some filing and videos for you guys instead of cluttering up another thread more. Here's before and after videos. The actual filing video still has 50 minutes it says.

Second video, square filed chain, was 32% faster.
