I picked up a stihl 2 in 1 file guide, got the 5.5mm or 7/32 but once home i saw that it's for .404 pitch. I have 3/8 pitch chains. If the file size is right i'm not seeing why the pitch would matter?
562xp, it's 3/8 lpx chain I think. Im not familiar at all with Stihl chains. I thought maybe the guide wouldn't rest right on the teeth if it's for .404 but it seems to.
Funny. Just checked the US STIHL site, and one of their YouTube videos, they say that they don't make this tool for .404 chain!
Some of the confusion may be that STIHL and Oregon specify different files for 3/8" pitch chain (maybe their cutters are different?).
So go by the file size you want. Or buy the Pferd version in blue.
