Question 1

Is this depth gauge Oregon part no. 31941? I can see that number on the tool in the picture but is that what you get?

Accepted Answer

Dean,I can't say for sure if it is a 31941 because the number was not stamped on the gauge. The gauge was blank except for .025 stamped on it. I had the same problem when ordering because this item was so cheap. So I also ordered the 40466 which is supposed to be the same, but it's about 8.00 more. The 40466 has a gauge stamped "Oregon Gauge 31941" and a high quality file. I suspect the 27742 is an import, but I'm not saying it does not work. To be sure I would suggest the 40466 because it's OEM Oregon even down to the colors on the package. When I order another it will be the 40466. I hope this helps you. Any other questions please feel free to ask.   Dave

Question 2

. . . and the depth is?

Accepted Answer

The word ....depth..... should almost be changed to ...height... The gauge checks the height of the rakers or depth gauges and shows you how much to file or grind Down...it is a must have if you want the chain to really cut well after sharpening it a few times....it sets the thickness of the wood shaveing the chain takes off the log

Question 3

What size handle is compatible with the file?

Accepted Answer

The flat file can be used with or without a handle. Any common size file handle would work. https://www.amazon.com/Oregon-534370-Wooden-Chainsaw-Handle/dp/B006HTCS6C

Question 4

What is the actual length of the file?

Accepted Answer

The length is 6 in. from heel to point, but the "belly" (the abrasive surface) is about 5 1/2 in.. The tang (pointed tip) adds 1.5 in., so the total length of the tool is 7.5 in.  Width is about 9/16 in.  It works just fine for the job intended.
