Product Information

It’s actually much simpler than it sounds and doesn’t take long before you can set it up in less than a minute, and have a full chainsaw sharpened within a very short amount of time. If you’re looking to use a .325 chain on your saw, you’ll need a file that’s specifically designed for that size. A lot of people make the mistake of using a file that’s too large, which can damage the teeth and cause the chain to work less effectively. There are a few different companies that make files for this size chain, so it’s important to do some research and find one that will work well for your needs. Count the number of strokes you take with your file and apply the same number to each tooth. This way all the teeth end up the same length. Hopefully, this will make your decision a little easier and gets you a product that you are happy with. Types of chainsaw sharpener compared PRO TIP BEFORE BUYING: Don’t rush off and buy any of these sharpeners without first knowing exactly what size your chain is (that’s what I did first time :D). It can range from 3.2mm to 5.5mm as standard. You must know the right size sharpener. My Makita cordless chainsaw for example needs a 4mm file for the chain! I only found that out after buying the wrong size first time 😀 Best chainsaw sharpeners listed in the UK:

Oregon 585015 12V Sure Sharp Electric Chainsaw Chain Grinder/Sharpener (best chainsaw sharpener if you like the new style grinder and offers really nice control) To sharpen STIHL saw chains use a sharpening angle of 30 degrees – a filing aid has markings that make it easy to be certain you are filing at the correct angle. The only exception is Rapid Hexa, which is sharpened at 25 degrees instead. As always, the best guide to follow is the instructional manual of the chain saw you are using. The manufacturers always give the best and most suitable angle for sharpening the teeth for optimum performance. However, most users have agreed that a standard chain should be sharpened around 25-30 degrees for cross-cutting and ripping wood grain, sharpen at 10 degrees. Why is My Chainsaw Cutting on an Angle?Our filing kit includes a file holder with a round file, a flat file and a file gauge all in a sturdy case.

After a few minutes of filing, your chain should be nice and sharp! What File Do I Need for .325 Chain? The problem I refer to is one that anybody who has used chainsaws for a while will know all too well, and no doubt loathe as I do. Basically, the problem lies not in sharpening the ‘teeth’ of the chainsaw themselves, but the fact that every couple of times you sharpen them, you have to also file down the depth gauge that sits next to them. It really is easy to use: Repeat on the other side: After grinding one side of the chain, repeat the process on the other side. The chain ( each tooth may be unequal length or filed at different angles, or one tooth may be dull and the other sharp)If you’re using an electric chainsaw sharpener, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to finding the right angle to sharpen your chain. First, most electric sharpeners will have adjustable angles, so you’ll want to make sure that you adjust the angle to match the manufacturer’s recommendations for your particular saw model. To do this, place the chainsaw bar in a right-angle position and make sure that the chain is held firmly in place. Set the file guide

The files are extremely durable, made from the highest quality steel with solid wooden handles and they certainly live up to the high standards that are associated with Stihl products. To keep everything together and make transportation easier, the files come in their very own carry pouch. This pouch has been made to a similar high standard as the tools with strong stitching and fabric, and I can’t see it falling apart any time soon. While using a round file and file guide is the recommended method for sharpening a Stihl chainsaw chain, some users prefer to use an electric bench grinder. Using a grinder can be faster and easier than using a file, but it requires more precision to avoid removing too much material from the chain.If you are working with a battery or electric chainsaw, make sure you remove the battery or unplug it before sharpening so it can’t be accidentally started, then release the chain brake so you can move the chain freely. It has a very original and distinct design that makes it stand out from other products, and it works in a different way to other types of chainsaw sharpeners so far featured in this review section. Not all chainsaws are the same, and not all sharpeners can be used with all models. Make sure you know your chain size before you go shopping for your sharpener and find one that is compatible with your particular chainsaw. Some chainsaw sharpeners are quite versatile and will be able to work with various chain sizes, but these are usually electric models and manual sharpeners tend to be only made for specific purposes.
