Although it is a small chain 8", it is a standard width and standard blade. You can go to Harbor Freight and buy a chain saw file kit.

I use the Lansky sharpening system and sharpen it by sections. I've also used the diamond edge "steel" to rought it in before I finished it. Works great for me!

I'm not sure how big it will be when it is full of files but brand new, mine was about the length and diameter of my thumb. I'm not near a ruler to be more precise for you.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file. HTH, Robert

Works great with that or the Stihl diameter. Also hold he triangular file for adjusting the rakers. As close to a professional sharpening as you can 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?

Contact a local print shop and find out who sharpens their blades for their machines. They should be able to direct you to a reputable company/person who can do it for you.

These files are very small and it would take you a very long time to sharpen an axe unless the axe was a miniature.These files work with jewelry and very small wood projects.

I have used to sharpen mine with disc provided but I would purchase a flapper disc maybe 80 grit.

I have not used it since Afghanistan, but I'd say 3" long x 1.5" wide x 1/2" thick. I was using this stone with water only and a high carbon steel knife. I was not impressed, but I'm not a knife sharpening connoisseur either.

Yes. And it's got a nice handle. But so will a regular file -- and it's a bigger sharpener.

A 4.5 inch blade is about at the practical limit for a single clamp, otherwise you'll start to get a bit of a weird angle at the tip of the blade. For longer knives, I'll use two clamps along the spine to hold the angle better. Also, buy the silver extra coarse stone to use the first time, you'll save a ton of time getting the angle set up front, and then you're just sharpening to that angle in the future.

I don't know, but they are excellent files. They are more hobby files for small items. I got them to sharpen fishing hooks and to work on metal, etc. Stone and tile may be too big of a job for them, they are only six inches long with 2-3 inches of file edge. They are well made and good tools.

This set is way too small for an axe job. Really. Unless you're talking about removing metal flakes from a bigger file, then I would suggest a good wire brush. You need a good 8 or 9-inch flat file (bastard file) for an axe.

I bought the Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener. It fits in the pouch perfectly. Probably 3 to 4 inches long.
