Round files for sharpening chainsaw chains, sized to match the chain pitch rather than the saw brand. Common sizes here are 5/32" for 3/8 LP chain, 3/16" for .325 chain, and 7/32" for 3/8 chain, available as single files, packs of 6 or 12, or as part of a sharpening kit with a file guide.

A file guide kit is worth it if you're sharpening by hand and want to hold the correct filing angle consistently, while loose packs of files suit anyone who already has a guide and just needs replacements as files wear out. Vallorbe files (made in Switzerland) are included alongside standard round files in the same sizes.

  • Loose round files in 5/32", 3/16" and 7/32"
  • Multi-packs of 6 or 12 files
  • File guide and sharpening kits with chain
  • Vallorbe branded files

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what size file I need?

Match the file size to your chain pitch: 5/32" suits 3/8 LP chain, 3/16" suits .325 chain, and 7/32" suits standard 3/8 chain.

Do I need a file guide to sharpen my chain?

A file guide helps hold the correct angle and depth while filing by hand, which is useful if you don't already have one, but experienced users sometimes file freehand with just the loose files.

What's the difference between the standard files and the Vallorbe files?

Both are round chainsaw sharpening files in the same sizes; the Vallorbe files are made in Switzerland, while the standard files are a non-branded alternative.
