    Default Oregon or Granberg?

    Looking at getting a bar-mount filing guide.

    Deciding between Oregon Pro Filing Guide or Granberg File-N-Joint. Both similar price

    Not much detail to be found on either, so I'm looking for opinions from you guys

    I have two of one and one of the other when a local chain saw show was having a clearance sale on old stock and I got them for $10 each. Anyway I don't like using either for round ground chain. I find they are too fiddly/slow to set up, especially for just a quick touch up. I just use a bare file or standard Oregon file guides (not bar mounted) and it takes me 3 seconds per cutter to touch up. The only time I use a bar mounted guide is for filing square ground chain.
