"Tarded" is not a very constructive word. All files have potential to either hook a chain tooth or have it lying back on itself (too straight). It's possible to sharpen 0.325, 3/8 and 0.404 chains with a 3/16 round file.Uh no that's tarded you teeth will either be too hooked or too straight. There's a reason there's different sizes. They wouldn't make them if you only needed one ever. Doesn't make since
I didn't make this up. I've been sharpening chains since1994 using one size file. The 0.325 chain does take a few scores to accommodate the file but once set it's spot on.
Btw, Amazon was selling a device that was supposed to sharpen saws by placing the bar and chain into a slot and revving the saw! Some company made those but they were ridiculous! Amazon finally took them off their site.
