Looking for the correct Stihl Raker gauge for 3/8 .050 RS Stihl chain.
Usually us eteh 2 in 1 sharpener which knocks down the rakers as well and works very well but need to work on a couple of Stihl RSF skip chains.

Different stihl gauges are only marked 0.45 or 0.65

Would the Husky depth gauge tool 505 69 81 0P for 3/8 work just as well ?

Would appreciate the help, thank you
 
The .045mm Stihl depth gauge is for the mini or picco 1/4 inch pitch class 71 chain. Kind of amazing when I asked the same question the guy wearing Stihl clothing did not know which one was for what. 0.025" is 0.635mm. Which is likely too many decimal places for the application so .65mm

There is usually a paper insert in a box or package of Stihl chain that will most likely have a "correct" depth gauge tool specified.
