In actual discussion, I hand filed my very first chain yesterday just to learn how to do it by hand and I think it came out ok, I did it free hand and I had a little trouble getting my angles to stay consistent from tooth to tooth but after about a dozen teeth they started coming out much more uniform. It might not cut at all, I've gotta try it haha
 
Yeah, poulan was always whoring themselves out for whatever money they could get meanwhile mcculloch stayed faithful with just their yellow!:D:happybanana:

That's what I'm talking about!

I used the stihl file guide to start and help me get in rhythm. It's nice it also hits the rakers at the same time. Seems to do a good job too. Depends on the chain now I'll use it or I'll use just a file and go for it. So far stuff still cuts so good enough for now right? Lol

You should check out Buckin Billy Rays handfiling video, he shows you some old fallers hand filing techniques that have been passed down for years.
