You can use a small one. The rom files are tiny by today's standards. I think no more that a gig is needed, you could even get a considerable library of games onto 256k or 512k. g\Good luck finding one that small nowadays, though.

I use letter size hanging files. I love this file box. Pretty and practical.

If you are using original 0.325" chain that came with saw that file size would be a 3/16" or 4.8 mm round file Oregon 2 pack of those files is part # 40460

The 4GB reference is to a single file being 4GB or larger, not a sum total of 4GB worth of files. :)

I put about 15 to 20 depending on the amount of paper in the file. Hanging files seem to do really good in here. I had legal files but regular 8 x 11 probably holds more. It holds either one.

5/32 is the correct size file, but it uses a Oregon bar and chain so you can see that size file recommended on the replacement chain packaging (i double checked). I consider myself thrifty, but as cheap as these shorter length chains are, several years ago, when i get one dull, i just put on a new one. Sometimes i could sharpen one decent, other times saw would cut crooked. You will inadvertently get into some nails or other metal (rocks are bad enough) and when it happens, you saw will just quit cutting. Hope it helps. Very nice saw - sure like mine.

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.

The listed specs on the Amazon page states that the width of this chain is 7.1mm (thus, it would use Missing link II)... BUT the FAQ at the KMC website says it is in the 7.3mm family and needs the original Missing Link. Here is the FAQ:WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISSING LINK I AND MISSING LINK II?Missing Link I must be used with chains that use a 7.3mm pin length (X8.99-Z72 and Z33-Z33NP) and the Missing Link II must be used with a chain that uses a 7.1mm pin length (Z7-Z50)

these use a 5/32 round file. you can usualy get these at walmart. or any store that sells chains. you will need a file guide also. this will be in a pack together and you can also buy a 2 pack of files. i would go on line and find a video to learn. get a grease gun also for the sprocket in the tip of the bar. thjere is a tiny hole on each side in the tip of the bar. the tip of the gun is also very small. put the tip of the gun over the hole and push down. grease should come out the other side of the bar.grease this every 2 or 3 tanks of gas.if you dont you can burn your sprocket and need a new bar. dont cut into the dirt it will dull your chain. these grease guns will be where the chains are.cutting with a dull chain will put a lot of wear on the motor good luck....jj

Perfectly, you can't equate the rat tail file size to the wheel thickness. See the oregonproducts web site for spects for your specific chains.

I believe the Z-72 chain requires the 7.1 MM Missing Link. So. I'm having a brain fart here because I use both the 7.1 MM and the 7.3 MM Missing Link. I use the 7.3 on my stash of 1980's Sedispot Chains (7 speed). I use the 7.1 on my Z-72 chains (8 speed).

No. I found it best to use 32GB micro SDHC. 16 GB is good too, but may be good for maybe a few hours before it's full and starts to loop and write over other files.

3/8" pitch semi-chisel chain is generally filed with a 7/32" round file. However, if you are almost to the end of the life of the chain, a 3/16" file may fit better as the cutter height drops as the length decreases.

Depends on the chain. Do you have any specifications? www.oregonchain.com has an excellent guide that explains all the parts of a chain. That would probably help you figure out what size chain you have. Or, if you have the Dremel kit, with the three different stones, you could figure out what size cutters your chain has by holding each bit up to a cutter to determine which one fits. Or...you could take your chain to a hardware store and compare the various round files to your chain to determine the best fit. I would guess an 18" chainsaw would require a 3/16" bit, or file, but you need to make sure before trying to sharpen it.

I use 11/0, but that is what I want for my projects. I have also used smaller and I'm sure that you can go larger with no problem at all
