Nicholson 02144N Round File 6 in Double Cut Chainsaw

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 02144N is a 6-inch round file designed for sharpening chainsaw cutting teeth in the field or shop. It features a double-cut tooth pattern with a smooth-cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for fine material removal and edge refinement on chain links. The file measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in cutting length, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.1 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to carry in a tool pouch or chainsaw kit. Licensed chainsaw technicians, arborists, and outdoor power equipment service pros are the primary installers.

This file is intended for chainsaw chain sharpening applications where a 1/8-inch round profile matches the cutter tooth geometry. It is sized for use on smaller-pitch chainsaw chains that require a 1/8-inch file. The smooth double-cut pattern allows controlled, precise filing strokes without removing excessive material, which is important for maintaining consistent tooth height and depth gauge settings across all cutters on a chain.

Installation Notes

This file is used by chainsaw technicians, arborists, and outdoor power equipment service professionals performing chain maintenance. Always disengage the chainsaw chain brake and power down or remove the battery before filing teeth. Use a file guide to maintain consistent filing angle and depth gauge clearance as recommended by the chain manufacturer. Do not use a file with a damaged or missing tang without a properly fitted handle.
