    So for the hell of it I just called Timberline to see what the deal is with a square ground jig set up. They are currently developing a jog for ripping chains, but not square ground. I was hoping to get a jig that would sharpen these after a few hand files, just for a true up. Any solid suggestions on jogs aside from the $200 atop?

    I am hand filing now, I just want a job or the true ups since the hand filing gives slight variance over time. Granted, this chain is not a machining robot at GM, but after a few hand files, it is nice to true up. Well done on your chains I must say.
