What's a better chainsaw file than the Oregon #23727 3/16" (4.8mm) round file?
Does your chain saw only last three or four sharpenings?
What's a better chainsaw file than: Oregon #23727 3/16" (4.8mm) round file SITUATION: A few months ago, I bought a new Husqvarna 445 18" chainsaw. I bought, at the time, two Oregon #23728 round 3/16" (4.8mm) chain saw files (in addition to a depth gage and flat file). After only about three or four filings, I noticed the file slipping more easily (and not biting). Switching to the unused file (they came in a 2 pack), I noticed the unused file bit much more than the now-used file. TECHNIQUE: There are only 36 teeth (18 each side) on the chain; and (with a new file), it takes only four to seven swipes per tooth to sharpen. It seems to me that a chain saw file should be HARDER than the chain saw teeth, and that it should outlast the chain. Certainly it should, IMHO, get a few dozen chain sharpenings. MY QUESTION: Q: Do you only get three or four sharpenings per file? Q: If you get more, where can I get the 'better' chainsaw file that you use? |
