Stihl Picco Chain Sharpening

[linckeil]

I recently picked up a Stihl 021 with 3/8" pitch Picco chain. The Picco chain is Stihl's term for low profile, right?

a standard 3/8" chain calls for a 7/32" round file for sharpening. would a 3/8" Picco chain use the same file? I'd imagine it would....

Thanks.

Do you need 12 files??
I prefer these files. Work well and very sharp. Easy to deal with and fast shipping.
