Chainsaw Repair

I own the exact 2 gaugit's Cut.
Reason I never use them is they work ok on one side but not the same readings on the other.
You and I know all the depth gauges on a loop of chain can't be filed from one side of the bar only. They only file without chatter with the lean not against the lean of the depth gauge.
When the end slot gaugit is flipped around on the bar the curvature in the rails is now different angle throwing the setting off.
The dial one is centered for even on both sides (a mark on the bar must be used to file every depth gauge at the spot)
But from memory for some reason which I never bothered to figure out, the dial model doesn't give equal setting for each side.
I'll have to give it another look this afternoon.
I haven't used a gaugit  since I was a teenage faller.
Always free hand on the flat and round files with my chains from new down to the witness marks.

Never saw any of those before.  Thanks for info & pics.

I prefer the Husqvarna roller guide w/ progressive drag gauge.  I would love to try the carlton fileoplate.

But what if you dont want 020 025 030 035 040 drumbum.  Some of my stuff in past was 018 021 022 and so on    Willard knows why.

I gave all my carlton file o plates I had away.
