The best Chainsaw SHARPENING Tool I know | Stihl 2 in 1 | Chain Sharp CS-X

Have you tried a "Magnetic File Angle Plate"? It really gets into the groove on the tooth, you can rotate the file whilst in use and tap/clean the metal debris out easily. Really has my MS-261 ripping.... I have to say, the rakers... I've never filed them yet on this saw and I've checked it so many times.

Thanks for your comment, I never tried it, but it only helps to keep the right angle, does it ? As for the rakers, you'll have to file them eventually, as the teeth go down when filing (they have an angle, going down to the back). The more you file the rakers down, the more your chainsaw will cut aggressively (takes out bigger chips, but needs more power)

Yeah, it just shows the angle, but it's really helped as you can follow the angle for most of the file-stroke. I've tried several methods and the Magnetic File Angle Plate using just a file in a handle works best for me.... Whatever gets the job. Also, the files are so cheap, I'll only use them a few times.
