Chainsaw file size

Posted by Peter on May 27, 2014 at 1:19pm

I'm getting bogged down and confused about which one I need.

My chain size is 9,32mm 3/8p. According to my Stihl handbook I need a 5.2mm (13/64)

Does that sound right?

Anyone know a good place to get one online?

Thanks

    Hello Peter,

    If your handbook is the correct handbook for the chainsaw, your file size should be correct, if you're not sure, take it back to your dealer and they should be able to help you. You will know if your file size is correct, as the files should fit tightly inside the teeth.

    It may be worth looking on eBay Peter, to find the correct size file or buy a professional sharpening device.

    I hope this helps.

    Used to get mine off ebay

    Buy a chain grinder, one of the best things i've ever bought.

    Takes 5 mins per chain

    I have a few chains and take them in the van then just swap them and grind them up at home.

    Thanks for replies, a chain grinder looks like a good investment.

    It's for an ms170, that's why I'm confused, it's only a small saw.

    Ok thanks for the help.
