what size of a sharping stone or file fits this chain

You can buy a chain sharpening kit relatively cheap at a hardware store that includes a file and a guide for the proper angle to file the chain teeth which is important. The sharpening instructions are pretty clear and easy to follow.

I use the same file that i used on my gas saw chains. Look in a hardware store and there are kits with instructions. That is how I learned to do it many years ago when I used to wear out chain saws and cut up entire trees! No longer have that arm strength so that is why I love the Black and Decker!

I have a 12 volt sharpner but I don't know the file or grinder bit size for the chain.

There are 62 drive links. The pitch is 3/8. The gauge is .050. Sharpening is 30 degrees. The depth gauges (rakers) are 25/1000. File diameter for sharpening is 5/32. The chain is full complement consisting of 31 cutters... left cutter, tie strap, right cutter, tie strap etc...

Here's a great link. No worries-I didn't know either. :) Good luck. http://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/What-is-a-carborundum-Stone-W25.aspx

It's about an 1/8 inch thick, works pretty good, nice & compact, you'll need to sharpen the blade, I used a standard flat file

The correct-sized file should nestle inside the cutting edge of the cutter perfectly. You shouldn't be hitting the chain straps or it is set too low. Too high and you won't be deep enough into the gullet. Use a small flashlight behind the file/cutter and look for light leaks. I find it easier to learn on a brand-new chain. Installation is the x-factor that can make your settings inconsistent. Try to install the unit the same every time. Let the file do the work, not your muscles. When properly setup, the sharpening is almost effortless.

This is a pretty small knife sharpener. I use it to sharpen orchid shears. I would think you would want a little longer "stone" to sharpen knifes

It is a regular or bigger... there is a small set of file folders and a binder clip that is 1 1/2 or 2"

Any rough sharpening stone will work, I would recommend one big enough to hold or one with a grip.

No, it will not. This tool is designed for a 5/16" file, it will seat too low on your chain.

Bob Vila "Tool Junkie" is correct. Diamond-encrusted files is the safe way to go. Not only are you likely to dull the file on many semi-precious stones, you might cause your stone to chip. Consider practicing filing on a piece of glass first.

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

Hi,This stone reads 207mm X 66mm X 34mm on the box, which is roughly 8 1/8" X 2 9/16" X 1 5/16". I just measured my stone to be sure and those numbers in inches check out. In a search engine you can also search for "mm to inch converter" and plug in those numbers in mm to see the exact dimensions.Happy to help. By the way this stone gets knives very sharp!

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.

The carbide size required for a saw is determined by the chain pitch which is usually labeled on the chain saw bar near the motor. This number will be .404, 3/8, .325, or 3/8P. 3/8�� and .404�� pitch chain = Large 7/32�� 3/8�� Stihl chain; slightly smaller = Large 13/64�� .325�� pitch chain = Medium 3/16�� 3/8�� P or Picco, low profile, micro and 1/4�� pitch = Small 5/32�� Check Timberline web site = http://www.timberlinesharpener.com/ The carbide size required for a saw is determined by the chain pitch which is usually labeled on the chain saw bar near the motor.

I do not have one, but based on some of the reviews I have read, I would think that you can by using a round file like the ones used to sharpen a chain saw blade.

It works with every type and pitch of chain except square tooth chipper, but then square tooth can't be sharpened by conventional (round file) anyway, it has to be sharpened with a flat file.Noteworthy is the fact that the Timberline is a little balky on PICCO chain like is used on smaller saws. It's a handful to use on them and it's really easier to use a 12 Volt sharpener mor a hand file. The bigger stuff, 3/8 .325 and 404 no issues.
