Sharpening 1/4 .050 picco chain.

I have a 620 oregon sharpener and want to sharpen a 1/4 .050 picco chain. Can you buy a 5/32 stone. Any other info is appreciated.

That tiny chain really does hand file well. Hit concrete with my husky 540i, which is .325 .050 pitch, and had it fixed in 20 min

I use a 1/8 on mine. I think Stihl has a 2in1 now for that size chain

1/4 pitch 0.050 gauge is not picco. There are currently 3 picco labeled Stihl chains. 1/4 pitch 0.043 gauge is one of them.

A 2mm thick wheel ( tool and cutter type) works well- little difficult to find though. then you will need and abor adapter. or just use an 1/8" wheel and thin/ dress it down to 2mm thickness. 2mm works well on those it bitty .325 units also

I'm not knocking the Picco. I have an MS 290 that came with 3/8 low pro. A friend gave me 3, 20" bars off his MS390. So, I switched sprockets and run 3/8's. I don't know if it's the yellow box chain or what, but that 290 runs/cuts better than any other 290 I've used. Sorry for going off topic.
