Default What's a better chainsaw file than the Oregon #23727 3/16" (4.8mm) round file?

They have stones for the common cain saw teeth


I guess that means they're the same size as the file.

While I have nothing against a Dremel tool, it's hard to see using a bit
rotating at high rpm when only three or four swipes with a file do the same
work.

Still ... if the Dremel bit lasts far longer than a file, then it might be
worth switching methods - but otherwise - my first obvious thought is that
a Dremel tool seems thousands of RPM too much overkill for something that
takes a mere handful of swipes with a file to accomplish.
