I'm same school bloke. 240v sharpener just too damn difficult to use in the scrub. Match file to chain and away you go.

The Stihl sharpener.
Sharpens the chain teeth and the gauges in one go.
All in perfect angle.
Best $40 spent.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I've had one for years and is what I always use, very handy for the average bloke like myself but I am positive that a trained professional like Rossco would get better results with a bare round file.
It does me fine and I cut around 25 cubic metres each season.

Yeah i am pretty good on a file. I had to learn how to sharpen a hand panel saw in trade school and understand how to set a saw blade by hand. But i thought what the hell, they are cheap and it might do it better. We will see.
Yes Rossco would be a Gun. Bet you would knock it out pretty well too mate.

Yeah pretty good those jiggers bought one for dad but got burnt in the fires damit. Just made up some ripping chain that is sqaure ground so need to chase up some square files. Was keen to have a crack anyway on normal chain, takes it to another level by the looks of it . .

Keen to see your results with the square grind. Been tempted to give it a go but never bothered.

What does square grinding do mate. Cut better, or lasts longer?
