Depends on the chain your using.  Some older 325 chain with smaller cutter used 5/32 file, newer 325 with bigger cutter use 3/16 file.

Guessing above for your saws.


Then you got 3/8 full which I use 7/32, but stihl likes to sell 13/64 for theirs. 13/64 when you get the cutter files way back too.

Dont forget to set your rakers as your cutter tooth goes back.

3/8LP picco 5/32
