A modified Stihl FG-2 to hold a double bevel file for square ground chains. Will include the OEM arms for standard round files. All OEM parts and manual are inlcuded. The guide is bolted to a block of wood so it can be clamped in a bench vise.
These can be hard to find in the US.
$150...
Yeah, it does alright. Also have an 8-pin rim to go with saw. Full comp 20" square ground chain is fun. Pulls a 28" full comp just fine too.
I also have the original manual and IPL/service manual.

I have the non serrated version and they are very nice for regular polyester/nylon stuff.
Well, I learned a lot from your video. Thank you. I used your method for these and many others. Some pics for posterity. I am sad for the next generation of people wanting to learn but dont have your great video to use.

I bought a pair of these. Tore them both...
