What's your favorite chainsaw file ....Nothing quite like a brand new chainsaw file for sharpening

[August76]

It's funny when you realize your file really isn't working all that great anymore and you grab a fresh one wow what a difference these are the files that Stihl sell.
Had a few files from Forester but they seem like junk they dull fast.
What is your favorite file for sharpening.

They do seem to work the best from what I've seen

I just bought the small and medium size Stihl 3-pack. So I hope that's the right answer.
I figured 3 was better than 2, and Switzerland better than S.America.

As a newbie to all this stuff, I have a Stihl file and it is the only one I have tried so far, and it did give me great results to a chain that was throwing powder. And this was also my very first ever attempt. When filing, it did feel it grabbed very well.

Stihl. Vallorbe files I had were good too, but the Stihl files are easy to get, inexpensive, cut well and last.

Nice. Almost seems like there's an art to sharpening a chain properly

I got some supposed Swiss made files from Walmart and they were garbage

I use husky files. But that is because they come with that super awesome husky file guide.

Forgot about those, not bad files at all.

Husqvarna files are rebadged Oregon files. They seem like good files.

I have a gross of Oregon 7/32 files.If they reflect light they get tossed.

 

[2broke2ride]

Oregon is all I've used..... oh , and tried some chicom files from home depot that where total crap.

Have Stihl files, Husky files, and have settled on Vallorbe files, last, cut well, and good finish.

I haven't seen that one. is it like the thing stilhl sells that has the file and the other file to set the rakers all-in-one deal?
I don't use a guide when I sharpen my chain I used to but I quit. I can get more of a hook and get the gullet

Part of Grobet....or the other way around.

The make such a wide range of files. Up to 74 RC....that’s hard!!!

You havn't tried a good "un" used to use Save edge but they became difficult then expensive to source so now it's Vallorbe or Sandvik/Barhco the best I've ever used were a pack of 3 unamed supplied by the rep for Sugihara bars when asked for an encore he said NLA, shame.

The problem with saw/chain branded files is they are usually supplied on tender /contract so different company' s could have made them so quality could vary A few years back Oregon were quality but then seemed to go downhill
