Chain Saw File Sets

With files, handles, and file guides, these sets come with everything you need to repair full- and semi-chisel chain saw teeth. First, sharpen the teeth with the round files—also called blunt round files. To achieve a consistent tooth height, use the round file guide to align the file with your chain. Then, use the joint file, also known as a depth gauge file, to adjust the cut depth. The joint file guide helps you set a consistent cut depth across the teeth. For hardwood, set the depth to 0.025"; for softwood, use 0.030".

Electric Chain Saw Sharpeners


		Chain Saw

Sharpen your chain saws with precision and minimal effort. For fast, consistent results, clamp the chain in the self-centering vise to automatically position each tooth under the high-speed grinding wheel. Sharpen a tooth, then slide the chain forward to repeat. The included dressing stick cleans the wheel before sharpening, and the sharpener guide helps set the correct angle. They come with three sharpening wheels: two for different chain pitches and one for depth gauges.

Chain Saw Sharpeners


		Chain Saw

Faster and more consistent than files alone, these tools sharpen all the surfaces of your chain in one swift motion. Two round files shape the teeth, while a joint file sets the depth gauge for proper cut depth. Flip the tool to switch between right and left teeth. The two-handed design gives you better control and comfort than standard files.
