Correction, I found that 5/32 file size on the Home Depot site. Can't find it on the B&D; site.

I use a small file designed for saw chains...I used the same file on my Stehl as my B and D..chain is the same size link..just shorter.

The correct-sized file should nestle inside the cutting edge of the cutter perfectly. You shouldn't be hitting the chain straps or it is set too low. Too high and you won't be deep enough into the gullet. Use a small flashlight behind the file/cutter and look for light leaks. I find it easier to learn on a brand-new chain. Installation is the x-factor that can make your settings inconsistent. Try to install the unit the same every time. Let the file do the work, not your muscles. When properly setup, the sharpening is almost effortless.

According to the official web site the number after RM signifies the following: 3= single-humped drive link triple-humped tie strap on RM chain. I will use the link to see which chain is compatible with the Saw you have. I have to say that i am extremely impressed with the Stihl quality and performance and that at times when i had to use substitutes the quality is far inferior!!. Stay with Stihl you will be glad you did! http://www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/downloads/STIHL-Saw-Chain-Selection-Identification.pdf

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

Checking the Timberline website, I believe you need a 13/64. I'll bet your chain is similar to the chains on my Stihl saw. You can go to timberline.com and go to the sharpener. From there you can go to sizing.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought a Mac electric saw to do some one-time pruning around the yard, then dulled the chain when I hit a bolt in a piece of wood. It was quicker and not much more expensive to replace it than to have it sharpened. But if you have a Home Depot or other big-box store nearby, they should have a cross-reference guide. That's how I found mine, and the in-store price was the same as Amazon's. I just tacked mine onto another order for the sake of convenience.

No. You can use the size of wheel they have provided to sharpen different chain size. It's the adjustment of the angle of chain teeth that matters.

Try http://loggerchain.com/POULAN-BARS_c45.htm This saw has a sprocket with a 3/8" pitch (as well as the chain cutting links having a 3/8" pitch).

I have the same saw. It is a 14" chain. I have the manual if you need any info from it.

I"m not sure if its 5/8" exactly but I do know it more or less the standard size for 10" table saws. I put a 10" freud LU87 rip blade on and am impressed with the feedrate on some 3" x 4" ancient fence material that was in a barn for years which consist of Maple, Cherry, Beech, Red Oak and White Oak. Not a unisaw but impressive for a portable saw of that genre. Minumal burn marks and nice square cut.

I used a 5000 rpm circular saw...I would imagine 8600 is the maximum RPM the blade is designed for. Probably says that on the blade no?

Depends on the chain. Do you have any specifications? www.oregonchain.com has an excellent guide that explains all the parts of a chain. That would probably help you figure out what size chain you have. Or, if you have the Dremel kit, with the three different stones, you could figure out what size cutters your chain has by holding each bit up to a cutter to determine which one fits. Or...you could take your chain to a hardware store and compare the various round files to your chain to determine the best fit. I would guess an 18" chainsaw would require a 3/16" bit, or file, but you need to make sure before trying to sharpen it.
