File-O-Plate with Stihl chain

[Jimmy in NC]

(Before I get hounded .. I've searched and when you put file in a search.. almost every thread shows up!)

Can I use a Carlton File-O-Plate on Stihl chain or are they cut to work only with Carlton chain? Specifically I will be using it on .325 - RSC for my 026. I only ask as Bailey's shows them working only with Carlton chain on their website.

I find that the FOP takes the rakers too low on RSC, making for a grabby chain. I now use the Oregon combo guage with much better results.

Thanks for the feed back. That's exactly what I was looking for... will work, but not as one would like.

We use the FOP's for the rakers only on Stihl's Full Skip Semi-Chisel.

We like it,
