    I'm 99% sure I know what chain that is. I think that is the only cutter I touched up so far on that chain. It is a Stihl RSL that I had filed one time. I looked real quick and did not see the one I had filed. I'll look again tomorrow.

    When it comes to chisel filing. Repetition is your friend !!!
    You almost Need to commit to chisel filing , to get good at chisel filing .
    ALOT of the work is muscle memory and it takes some time to establish those.

    My big break learning to chisel file came in 83 when my boss said . Here's a file , have Larry show you how to file chisel bit. I was 23 and chasing under an American Track Loader. On Revilla Is. Actually 2nd loading. Bumping knots. Running a 2100 Husky 36" bar full skip 404. I had to file it a few times a day. When Larry told me what to do, there wasn't any arguing. Great guy.

    I found some new loops of 72LG I had stashed yesterday while looking for something unrelated. Maybe I'll order a couple files.

    Looks like. Can see the dresser marks on the underside of the top of the cutter.
    Mopar; if you get a chance , pick up a set of cluster dressers.
    Looks good tho !

    Yessir, twas ground.
    I've not been able to find the cluster diamond dresser in a threaded version.
    The way they are setup, the diamond is on the end of a threaded adjuster.

    Sounds like you put a lot of pressure on the file

    Flip your bar around and try it. You may have uneven bar rail wear
