I’ve been a tool builder for 30 years and I can tell you anytime you can get rid of a radius and go an angle you are better off as for the power it takes to pull thanks for your input on good information
Thank you for the most informative video. Happy that I’ve found someone who knows what he’s talking about that I’ll be able to follow and learn a great deal from!
Very nice response to the question I had as to the tooth getting shorter..i d be interested in seeing one photo of a tooth at the end of its life..also how would you rate this chain compared to Square , performance wise.
Buddy thank you for sharing this and don't let the jerk offs in these comments get to you... you know you background and the people that know you know it as well ... thanks again
Let me just tell you right up front, Tim, if I may. Please, please do NOT pay any attention to these commentors who post negative, ugly, and very rude comments. They are not adding to the conversation, but are detracting from it. I would suggest blocking, canceling, or just hide them and get them off of the video comment section because they are not helping anyone, and probably don`t want to anyway.
I use a round file and one of those little jigs that has the two rollers and have never had anything but a super sharp chain. Don't need fancy stuff, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Bet ya use a water heater in your home. Probably drive an automobile too. Anyhow, use your roller sharpening system with this setup and you’ll be putting the best edge you ever put on a Chain.
Hi Tim.. Good informative video.... But you didn't really say if it is better than a normal chain?... Is it?... And why and how much.... Cheers from Australia
Sorry, I had mentioned in several comments. I guess you may not be able to see all the comments. I think it is smoother and faster than round ground and is very easy for anyone to sharpen with the HEXA file. I don’t think it is as smooth and fast as square filed however.
Not enough time using it yet but I think it’s easier than round filing and it does have a more supported point and side. Right now both answers are yes from me. Thanks for watching.
Seems the same to me. I have seen some pictures that looked different than what I was sent. I read that it will be .063” gauge. But all the drive links are .063” at the rivets on Stihl 3/8”
Most professional loggers FILE their new Oregon chains before they use them...it would seem the professionals should ask someone who actually works in timber for A LIVING...not on a drawing board OR computer.
That’s funny Mark. Maybe you should take a course. I’ve worked with some of the best timber fallers and arborists in in the USA. I haven’t met you have I?
@@ForestApps Then you must know they file the new chains....obviously you have TH-cam...there is a gazillion video's of hand filed compared to out of the box.
Thanks for the message. Most all of our workshops are organized by private companies or government agencies. I have been doing two open enrollments a year in Rome, GA.

Thanks David!
Good to see and hear you again. Great work!
Thanks Tony!!!! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and the Along the ForestApps Road Podcast also...
Great video Tim. Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Seems like a genius idea. Wish it was available. Can’t wait to try it.
Us too!
I appreciate all the information that you are bringing about the stihl hexa chain.
Thanks Travis!
Nice calm presentation of information - just like we're talking - not a preachy lecture. Like your videos a lot
I appreciate that!
Very informative and easy to listen to. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Im very insterested. Seems like the best of both world (round and square). Thanks for the update.
It really is!
Thanks!
Welcome!
Excellent explanation. You answered all the questions I had. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice response to the question I had as to the tooth getting shorter..i d be interested in seeing one photo of a tooth at the end of its life..also how would you rate this chain compared to Square , performance wise.
I Hope to have some more filing going on as soon as i get a supply of files. Mine is worn past use. They say they should be stateside in March....
Looking forward to trying it thanks for sharing 👍
Hope you enjoy
Went to a Stihl dealer today for bar oil the owner knew absolutely nothing about this new chain coming out from Stihl
There won’t be any info until spring 2022
Good stuff, thank you for explaining this.
My pleasure!
Buddy thank you for sharing this and don't let the jerk offs in these comments get to you... you know you background and the people that know you know it as well ... thanks again

Great well explained thorough vid Tim by somebody who knows what he is talking about ! Cheers from new zealand
Thanks Mark!
Very good video.
Thank you very much!

Thanks. I don’t pay any attention to them. Did you see some negative comments still in the comments?
I use a round file and one of those little jigs that has the two rollers and have never had anything but a super sharp chain. Don't need fancy stuff, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
That’s what people said when they came out with that little jig with the two rollers.
We won't know until we try. At one time the Dart/Valient was a great all-around reliable car, but there are better cars out there now.
Bet ya use a water heater in your home. Probably drive an automobile too. Anyhow, use your roller sharpening system with this setup and you’ll be putting the best edge you ever put on a Chain.
@@billycollins1757 do you have a HEXA file to use with the roller guide?
Ok I see you were replying to another comment.
Looks like a great chain system..🤙🏻
I think so too!

Well that was a great explanation of the cutter geometry but I would like to know how you think it cuts compared to a square grind and a round
Along the ForestApps Road 1162021
In what I’ve cut it falls between square and round on cutting speed. Easier to sharpen with the HEXA file.
Good video and good presentation.
Thank you!
It's March... still waiting!
Me too….
Wish I could get a couple of them
David the HEXA files will not be available until spring 2022
Can't wait to try this on my 400c or 500i..
You should!
Do you think it better than the round filling and in your opinion last longer sharp. Great video,thanx
Not enough time using it yet but I think it’s easier than round filing and it does have a more supported point and side. Right now both answers are yes from me. Thanks for watching.
Any updates yet? Heard it was supposed to be out the beginning of the year but not sure? Thanks guys!
They are telling me March now In USA
@@ForestApps
Thank you so much!!
Is this a Stihl product or a modification of a Stihl product ?
It’s from Stihl. Not available in us yet to my knowledge.
Yes a Stihl product
could you convert oregon EXL to this cutter by just filing it with the hexa file?
Yes I think so
@@ForestApps i think so too, the actual chain looks standard jsut the filing looks different
Tell the guy pounding in the background shut it down
Your doing a video
A more complete video on HEXA sharpening coming out tomorrow.
This is not bucking Billy Ray approved! 🤣
Probably Not…
@@ForestApps lol just tugging on your chain a little sir. Great explanation of the geometry.
BBR will like it eventually especially if someone sends him a couple loops to test.
@@ForestApps go ahead and start the trend and send him a few! 😂
What sizes will this be available in Tim? Does it get a bird's beak like square filed?
Right now all I know is full size 3/8" If you look at the pictures it kind of uses a beak to work. Its smooth, fast and bores very well.
Is it just me or does that chain look like its made from much beefier stock than the usual chains?
Seems the same to me. I have seen some pictures that looked different than what I was sent. I read that it will be .063” gauge. But all the drive links are .063” at the rivets on Stihl 3/8”
where can i get it
Not available at present. In early 2022 at your STIHL dealer
Hi I'm looking for files to square file can you tell me brand and part no. Of some files please

Can you provide a Link so I can buy the chain for 25" bar ?
Not available until first qtr next year.
Did you get this file from your local stihl dealer? Thanks
It’s not available until first half of 2022
Will HEXA be added to Stihl 2 in 1 system?
Have not heard anything on that happening. The 2 in 1 tool is mfg by PFERD for Stihl. Could be possible though...
Where can I buy hexagonal files for 325 "chain? Greetings from Spain🇪🇸🇪🇸
As I understand only 3/8 available and that’s not until sometime first or second qtr of 2022
Where can I buy hexagonal files for 3/8 "chain? Greetings from Spain🇪🇸🇪🇸
Ok a Greetin
What price for stihl RH chain type?
Haven’t seen that yet…

Is Oregon going to come out with another lightweight bar soon?
@@johnlincicum6390 Haven't heard of anything new.
@@ForestApps that's too bad.
Is this better than square?
I’m going to say in between round and square but easier to file than both of them.
I’m playing another video on converting from round to square or HEXA.
