Product Description
Milwaukee Round File Handle for Chainsaw Chain Sharpening
Model Number: 49-16-2890
The Milwaukee 49-16-2890 is a Round File Handle for chainsaw chain sharpening — the handle that accepts Milwaukee 3/16 in. and 13/64 in. round chainsaw files for comfortable, controlled hand sharpening of chainsaw chain cutter teeth in the field. A proper file handle is essential for effective chainsaw chain hand sharpening — it provides the grip and length needed for the controlled filing strokes at the correct angle and depth that proper cutter tooth sharpening requires, and it protects the hand from the file's tang that would otherwise cut into the palm during filing. Without a handle, attempting to file saw chain teeth with bare file tangs produces inconsistent filing strokes that result in uneven cutter sharpening and potential hand injury from the file tang contact.
Milwaukee's quick-release mechanism allows the file to be installed and removed from the handle quickly — important when switching between file diameters for different chain specifications or when replacing a worn file during a field sharpening session. The handle is compatible with both the 3/16 in. (49-16-2886) and 13/64 in. (49-16-2888) Milwaukee round chainsaw files for complete field sharpening kit capability from a single handle. See the Milwaukee Flat File (49-16-2891) for depth gauge filing that completes the full chain maintenance procedure.
