I am going to run shelves all around the bench with some maple slabs to make that whole side of the shop look like chainsaw heaven.

I bought that gauge but it doesn't come with instructions. How are you really supposed to use it? I was intending to knock down the rakers on my Stihl chains. Ended up just knocking a bit off of each one.

Whatever comes through the round whole need filed shouldn't be very much at all.

That's a different tool than the stihl one though. Is the "round" hole the one on the left side of the photo in this thread? How do you run a file over the tool without filing the tool down as well?

I do not leave it there I will put a couple stroks on it and check it again until its flush. I like the rakers to be round and sloping back.
