How-To's & Guides
File and filing device recommendations
The cutters should be filed according to these angles:
- Top plate filing angle
- Side plate cutting angle
- File down angle
- Depth gauge setting
The angles may vary depending on the type of chainsaw chain you have. A good way to restore the cutter to the correct angles is to use a filing gauge. By doing this, you don’t need to think about the different angles to ensure a good result. Just follow the instructions and you’ll get the right angles on the cutting tooth.
