Description
Overview:
The 6" Chain Depth Gauge & Flat File for Chainsaws is a simple, durable set for routine chain maintenance. The depth gauge is a precision steel plate that sets the raker (depth limiter) to a consistent 0.025 in (0.635 mm), helping the cutters bite correctly and cut cleanly. The flat file is made from hardened steel for reliable, even stock removal and accurate finishing. At 6 in (15.24 cm) long, the file offers good control without being bulky in a tool bag. Used together, the gauge and file help restore cutting performance, reduce strain on the saw, and support safer operation by keeping depth within recommended limits. Suitable for most petrol and electric chainsaws across domestic, forestry, and landscaping use.
Key Features:
- Robust steel depth gauge for repeatable 0.025 in (0.635 mm) raker settings
- Hardened steel flat file for consistent, smooth material removal
- 6 in (15.24 cm) file length for easy handling and good control
- Helps maintain correct cutting geometry for efficient, straighter cuts
- Supports safer use by reducing the risk of aggressive cutting when used correctly
- Clear, simple process: set with the gauge, then file the exposed raker
- Suitable for a wide range of chainsaw makes and chain sizes (check your chain's specification)
- Durable construction for long service life in workshop or site conditions
- Compact set that fits neatly in a toolbox, service van, or field kit
- Ideal for regular maintenance by tradespeople, tree surgeons, gardeners, and DIY users
Typical Applications:
Routine chain servicing after sharpening the cutters, levelling rakers to the correct height, improving cutting speed in timber and firewood, and reducing vibration and chain chatter. Useful on-site for forestry, arboriculture, grounds maintenance, fencing, and landscaping tasks where a quick, accurate raker reset keeps the saw cutting efficiently.
