Product Description
Milwaukee 3/16 in. Round File for Saw Chain — 6 Pack
Model Number: 49-16-2886
The Milwaukee 49-16-2886 is a 6-pack of 3/16 in. Round Files for sharpening saw chain on Milwaukee and compatible chainsaws — a supply of the precision round files used for hand-sharpening the cutter teeth of chainsaw chains that use the 3/16 in. file diameter specification. Chainsaw chain cutters dull from contact with wood, dirt, and the occasional accidental contact with soil and rock during felling and bucking operations, and a dull chain cuts significantly slower, requires more bar pressure, and produces rougher cuts than a sharp chain — field sharpening with the correct round file restores the cutter geometry and cutting edge that productive, safe chainsaw operation requires without returning the chain to a shop sharpener for every sharpening interval. The 3/16 in. diameter is the correct file size for saw chains that specify this diameter — using the wrong file diameter changes the cutter's relief angle and hook geometry from the designed specification.
The 6-pack provides a field supply of round files for multiple sharpening sessions throughout a season or project scope — having extra files on hand prevents cutting with a dull chain when the first file wears. See the Milwaukee Round File Handle (49-16-2890) for a proper file grip and the Milwaukee Flat File (49-16-2891) for depth gauge filing. Also available in 13/64 in. (49-16-2888) for chains specifying that diameter.
