Pferd 11018203 Round Chain Saw File 8 Inches

Product Description

The PFERD 11018203 is an American-pattern round file designed specifically for sharpening chainsaw chains. At 8 inches in length with a 3/16-inch diameter, this file fits standard chainsaw chain pitches that require 3/16-inch round files. It features a tang end for use with a file handle, giving the technician a secure grip during manual sharpening passes. The file is suited for dressing steel chainsaw chain teeth and is constructed for use on steel. It is a standard shop and field tool for arborists, forestry crews, and equipment service technicians who maintain chainsaws in the field or at the bench.

This file is used for sharpening chainsaw chains in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include touch-up sharpening between professional cuts and full sharpening service on chain saw equipment. The round profile and 3/16-inch diameter match common chain pitches that call for this file size. It is a hand-file tool, meaning no power equipment is required for use. Technicians working on steel-tooth chainsaw chains in landscaping, tree service, or outdoor power equipment service will find this a standard consumable in their sharpening kit.

Installation Notes

Installation of a file handle onto the tang is recommended before use to maintain control and filing angle. Disengage and de-energize the chainsaw completely before filing chain teeth. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including cut-resistant gloves, when handling chainsaw chain. File at the manufacturer-recommended angle for your specific chain type, referencing the chain guide or service documentation.
