STIHL Hexa Replacement File 5.2 × 200 mm
The STIHL Hexa Replacement File 5.2 × 200 mm is a specialist sharpening tool designed for maintaining Rapid HEXA 3/8″ saw chains. Its unique hexagonal profile matches the six-sided cutter design of HEXA chains, ensuring accurate sharpening and optimum cutting performance. When used correctly, this file restores the chain’s efficiency and extends its service life.
File specifications and use
This precision file measures 5.2 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. It has been manufactured from hardened steel for durability, resisting wear even after repeated sharpening sessions. The file is supplied without a handle, allowing you to pair it with your preferred compatible file holder. This flexibility ensures a secure grip and precise filing angles during use.
Maintaining HEXA chain performance
HEXA chains deliver faster cutting and longer sharpness thanks to their innovative tooth shape. However, they require a file that matches their exact geometry. Standard round files cannot maintain the correct angles, but this hexagon-shaped file reproduces the profile accurately. By sharpening with the STIHL Hexa Replacement File, you preserve the chain’s cutting speed, reduce operator effort, and ensure safe, controlled performance.
Durability and care
Built for professional and demanding domestic users, the file provides long-lasting service when cared for properly. After each use, it is best to clean away filings to prevent clogging. Store the file in a dry place to avoid corrosion and ensure consistent results every time you sharpen your chain.
Sharpening tips
Use smooth, even strokes and maintain the chain’s original angles. Regularly check both the cutters and the depth gauges to keep the chain balanced and efficient. Pairing this file with the correct holder guarantees accuracy and helps make the sharpening process quick and straightforward.
