The teeth of circular, hooded chain saws are sharpened with these Round Chain Saw files. They have a unique tooth structure and a safe place. This gives these files crisp cutting action. They are also supplied in double cut in the 8" size.
Maintaining round chain saw special files is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the chainsaw. Here are the steps and tips for maintaining these files:
Regular Cleaning: This is perhaps the most obvious industry where knife machinists work. Cutlery manufacturing involves producing various types of knives for kitchen, utility, hunting, and other purposes. Knife machinists in this industry may work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialty alloys.
Inspecting for Wear:Regularly inspect the file for signs of wear or damage. A worn-out file will not sharpen the chainsaw effectively. If the file appears smooth or uneven, it needs to be replaced.
Proper Storage:Store the files in a dry, clean place to prevent rust and corrosion. Use a protective case or wrap them in a cloth to avoid damage and maintain their sharpness.
Using Correct Techniques: Ensure you're using the correct filing technique to avoid uneven wear. Use the file at the correct angle (usually 25 to 35 degrees depending on the chain type) and apply consistent pressure.
Avoid Overheating: Do not apply excessive pressure or file too quickly, as this can overheat and damage the file, reducing its lifespan.
Lubrication Occasionally, lightly oil the file to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Use a light machine oil and wipe off any excess.
Sharpening Frequency:Sharpen your chainsaw regularly to avoid excessive wear and tear. A sharp chain cuts more efficiently and puts less strain on the chainsaw motor.

Check Chain Tension: Ensure the chainsaw chain is properly tensioned before each use. A loose chain can cause uneven sharpening and excessive wear on the files.
Safety Gear: Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, when sharpening your chainsaw to prevent injuries.
