What size file to sharpen the chain do you need?

I just found my manual. It says to use a 5/32 round file and a medium flat file.

You can use a flat file or a bench grinder if you have one. It's best to sharpen before each use.

.325 is the length of the chain links, you need to determine how the cutters were ground, that will tell you what size file or burr to get.

Hi Darnell. The handle, flat file, and sharperner guide will most likely work but don't know about the rat tail files.Maybe you should check it out at the husky website?

Quart? Get a gallon. Instead of a spare chain, you might just need a file and the discipline to keep the original chain sharp (the need for a second chain depends on how much wood you will be cutting, and how hard that wood is).

A 4.5mm / 5/32" round file will work, but as always, check with your dealer... there are many .325 pro-guard chains from Oregon.

Not unless they are Powersharp blades. It is a different tooth design. I love mine. I will not go back to the old style and all the filing. I usually sharpen my chain every time when I start for the day and every other time I fill the fuel tank. It litterally only takes 5 seconds, and it is great having a sharp chain.

Checking the Timberline website, I believe you need a 13/64. I'll bet your chain is similar to the chains on my Stihl saw. You can go to timberline.com and go to the sharpener. From there you can go to sizing.

I use a small handheld file and follow the original angle of the edge. Mine never got so dull that I had to reestablish an edge, and only needed a light filing to restore original sharpness.

I've been told by several guys that they like to continue with the round file method. I've used this with a gauge plate to get the correct angle, but the results are always iffy. I don't sharpen chains enough to get good at it (hope I don't have to in the future). The electric tool seems to work but there is some knack to getting it to work right. I got close to a sharp chain with my first use but finished it off with a file. I think the electric unit will be fine once I get the setup figured out. If I get desperate I buy another chain.

Husqvarna is 7/32 home lite, styli, are 5.32 to 3/16 I use for all three 3/16 and the sharpener mounts on the bar of the chain ,, no need for a stump vise just rember go 1/2/ click over the line so you will get a sharp chain

My kit is new and unused and there is not a single stone for sharpening a chain saw chain. They may be something that can be ordered individually but this kit will be of no use to you as far as sharpening your chain - don't order it.

Greetings David, the chain I have for which I bought this kit is .325 chain. I am almost positive the file is 5/32 but I can check tomorrow evening if you like.

You'll have to buy two, one for each sized chain. Btw, this is hands down THE best solution for chain sharpening. Everything they say it is and more. Used for about a year now.

The guide has to fit on the chain, that is the important fact. You can probably use whatever file you want as long as the guide fits the chain.

best check with Oregon for the correct file size. They spec at least 2 different diameter files for .325 pitch chains

you are suppose to use the right size file and use a angle guide that comes with the file
