    File guides

    Larger file creates less hook and more durable angles, slower cutting. Larger file works better on a new cutter…smaller diameter as the cutter is used up and gets lower.

    .325 mini

    Now I almost don't touch chain files as I found a guy who sharpens them very well, for 3€ a piece, no matter what chain or how long, looks at them before starting and select the ones that no longer are fit. Now I can't beat that.

    Contract climber rate?
