The Vallorbe Double Bevelled File is a professional tool designed for sharpening full chisel chains. With a size of 2mm x 10mm x 2mm, this file offers precision and efficiency for square round sharpening. Perfect for advanced amateurs and professionals, Vallorbe chisel files are a must-have for any workshop.

The term “square-ground filing” refers to the process of using a file to sharpen square-ground chain by hand. Square-ground filing can be much more difficult than round filing and requires different techniques. Because square-ground chain is less forgiving of errors, it is important that the corner alignment and filing angles be precise.

Learning the proper method for square-ground filing can take time. In fact, most people don’t get it right on their first try. So, don’t get discouraged if your chain doesn’t perform the way that you expect it to on the first attempt.

Things to Keep in Mind the First Time You File Square-Ground Chain

While square-ground filing can be done out in the field, a shop with a light and a work bench is an ideal learning space. It’s easiest to file in a setting where your cutters are stable and there’s lots of light.

The first square-ground chain you sharpen should be a square-ground chisel chain that still has its factory grind. Do not use an old chain – especially one that has been previously filed. A chain that has already been resharpened may still have gullet material attached that needs to be removed.

Tip: A second, new square-ground chisel chain on hand can be a handy reference point for square-ground chain sharpening. You can look at the cutter teeth on the second chain to see what the cutter teeth should look like.


Three Rules for Sharpening Square-Ground Chain

  1. Keep the corner of the file aligned with the cutter’s tooth
  2. Maintain the angles of the cutter’s tooth
  3. Repeat the same angles on every tooth; all cutters need to be the same.

We're pleased to share some exciting news with our customers.

As of 31 July, SES Direct will officially transition to new ownership, with the existing management team taking over the business. Many of you will already know them—they've been integral members of the SES Direct team for several years and have played a significant role in building the business into what it is today.

As part of this exciting new chapter, we're also relocating to a new warehouse and office. Between 22 July and 30 July, we'll be moving into our new premises. During this time, there may be some minor delays with order dispatch and customer enquiries while we complete the transition.

Important Order Information

  • All orders placed up to 9:00 am on 31 July 2026 will be supplied and serviced by SES Direct Ltd.
  • All orders placed from 9:01 am on 31 July 2026 onwards will be supplied and serviced by SES Direct 2026 Ltd under the new ownership.

Rest assured, it's very much business as usual. Our supplier network will continue operating, and we'll be doing everything we can to minimise any disruption during the move.

I'd like to personally thank all of our customers, suppliers, and supporters who have backed SES Direct over the years. Your loyalty and support have made this business what it is today.

After more than 12 years building SES Direct, I'm incredibly proud to be handing the reins over to the team. They know the business inside and out, share the same commitment to customer service, and are well positioned to lead SES Direct into its next chapter.

While ownership is changing, you'll continue to see the same friendly faces, the same commitment to service, and the same passion for helping customers.

Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you to our new premises and continuing to serve you for many years to come.

Kind regards,

Alex McCallum
