is the the correct size for sharpening 3/8 .50 chains for stihl and husky?

The tool is 3/16" in diameter. It will fit in to the saw tooth. works good and fast. to save time do not remove chain, but be careful and use gloves.

Not sure. I used the 5/32" on a 16" bar/chain that came with the Sears/Poulan saw. The 3/16 fits just inside the cutter tooth without damaging the adjacent metal surfaces. You'll have to "carve" the inside curve of the (chain's) cutter by moving your high speed tool(Dremel) while holding a correct angle or bias to the cutter to duplicate the original factory finish. These diamond tools are very aggressive and will grind quickly, faster than any stone tools, making it easy to follow the original factory grind. If you chain is 3/8" X 0.50", the 3/16" bit may be a better fit. I ordered both sizes just see which one worked best. The other can be used for sharpening something else. Not sure.

Yes - I believe this is the chain your looking for: Black & Decker 6-Inch Replacement Saw Chain RC600 (For LP1000 and NLP1800 Alligator Loppers) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)You might consider sharpening the existing chain your self. You'll need 4.5 mm chain saw file.I really like this tool!

I think all chain saw blades are standard...only the size: I. e. 8inch, 14inch, etc...

I have no idea I would check the specs on your current chain pitch width etc. and see if they match. Baileys.com has a ton of saw chains, along with home depot and lowes.

I can't see any reason why you would need a larger wheel. The wheel is certainly larger than anything you'd want to sharpen as it's only the angle or pitch that needs adjustment. So this should do the job on any of your chains.

I have used this 3/8" chain with 72 teeth on my 20" bar for a number of years with no problems at all. The Stihl packaging clearly states it is for a 20" bar with 72 teeth sections. Not sure where the 81 teeth requirement comes from...unless it is for a different 20" model saw than I have.

hi Ed, i'm pretty sure you would want to get a 5/16 grinding stone for your saw chain. i'm assuming you have something like a ms 260 class chainsaw.

Yes3/8 is correct, but also I use these in larger 1/2 inch drill which has an adjustable chuck, and adjustable drilling speed, which makes the drills last much longer before the need to sharpen.

This uses a Carbide Cutter - not a stone. Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener can be used on virtually all chainsaws. Most chains come in 3 standard sizes. Typically, chain size is relative to saw size. Larger more powerful saws use large chain while smaller saws use small chain. If you don't know what chain your saw has look on the bar for the indicated chain size (pitch). Go to http://www.timberlinesharpener.com/ for info. Thanks

to all those who are saying it wouldnt fit your stihl when amazon said it would. Stihl saws come with two differnt pitch chains. A 3/8'' pitch and a .325'' pitch. Many of their saws had both of these chains available. Before you knock amazon or oregon for "misadvertizing" know your saw, look at it, and figure out which chain you have. That is why even if you go to oregons website it will list multiple chains that fit. NOTE!! this does not mean they both fit. You need to know what pitch your chain is and match that to oregons. that being said, according to Oregons website, this chain WILL NOT fit the 020t. That saw requires a S55 chain. The two are not even close so please dont try this chain on your saw. Differnt pitch, width, and link count. This link ot oregons website should be helpful. http://oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG

The 1st order I placed was for the Oregon 541221 and that was the wrong one. After talking to Amazon service rep, she sent me Oregon 541655 and this was the right one. Make sure you check your sprocket teeth on your saw (ms290) and be sure it uses the low profile 3/8" pitch with .050"guage. Your owners book should tell you that info. My saw is the stihl 010 16" bar. It's an old one. This Oregon works very good on this saw. I also own a Stihl farm Boss 18" but would not put a Oregon on this one. I have a spare chain and sharpen the chain with the correct file I got from the Stihl dealer. Another suggestion-check with Oregon Company for the correct bar and chain kit for your saw. Hope this helps. The 1st order I placed was for the Oregon 541221 and that was the wrong one. After talking to Amazon service rep, she sent me Oregon 541655 and this was the right one.

The manual for my machine says it will take up to a 5/8" shank. The quill has a MT2 taper, so you can use a variety of alternatives - I have a collet chuck, an arbor, and a smaller Jacobs chuck that will fit the machine also.

It is not 4" on my block. It is 3-15/16" which is about 1/32" too narrow for my cleaver. After some sharpening it should work.

One the trimmer is says to use a 3/32, but I have been unable to find one that size. J B Whatley

The Eight Inch Set Will Work The Best.....If You Nee A Greater Cutting Depth.....But They Both Will Work Just Fine For Normal Use....

I"m not sure if its 5/8" exactly but I do know it more or less the standard size for 10" table saws. I put a 10" freud LU87 rip blade on and am impressed with the feedrate on some 3" x 4" ancient fence material that was in a barn for years which consist of Maple, Cherry, Beech, Red Oak and White Oak. Not a unisaw but impressive for a portable saw of that genre. Minumal burn marks and nice square cut.
