00008934006 Stihl Depth Gauge Tool 1/4 Chains

Stihl depth gauge tools are designed to accurately set the height of the depth gauges (rakers) on a chainsaw chain. Maintaining the correct depth ensures the cutter takes the proper bite into the wood, supporting smooth cutting performance and reducing strain on the saw.

These tools are manufactured to match specific chain pitches, allowing precise and repeatable filing. Used in conjunction with a flat file, they help prevent over-filing of the depth gauges, which can lead to aggressive cutting and increased kickback risk.

Their simple, robust design makes them suitable for regular maintenance, ensuring consistent chain performance and extending the working life of the cutting components.
