The blue one is the PFRED dressing tool, works well on most
husky and Oregon bars. The second one is the Stihl dressing
tool, it works well for your stihl and cannon bars. As they are
a harder bar IMO. And the bigger teeth spacing on the PFRED does
a great job on softer metal. And the closer teeth spacing does a
great job on you harder bars. The part number for the stihl
5605 773 4400 the part number for stihl replacement file 5605
773 4200. For those who don't know what these are for, they can
be use to resquare your bar rails and remove the burrs of the
edge of the rail.

I prefer the stihl dressing tool for it cuts the bars a lot
better then the PFRED. Plus I like the longer flat to help make
sure you are at 90*. The only down fall is the stihl is a bit
more money but I think it is worth it. I have seen that Oregon
also is making one as well have not used one, but look similar
to the PFRED.

I always used a file. But I got a good deal on the Oregon one
and tried it. It works very nice and helps hold the 90 degree
edge.
'Nice-to-have', but not 'need-to-have'. Might still want a bar
ground if it is really messed up.
BTW, I believe that these filing guides were originally
developed for the edges on downhill skis, so you may find a used
one cheap at a ski swap event.

I agree with you on that a really messed up bar, grinding is the
way to go,if you have one. You can true the bar quick with a
grinder and get great results. Thought I would share these for
they don't cost near, what a bar rail grinder does. and with
some time and elbow grease you can get the same results as a
grinder. I guess you have to use what you got.

I have a PFERD unit from my skiing tool kit. I cut a couple of
different grade files for it. The one that comes with it is a
bit aggressive. I tend to work through the file grades like
sandpaper going from rough to smooth.

I've been using a scythe sharpening stone from Norton to dress
my bars
