4.5mm is just about 11/64" - some I've seen sold are labeled one way, some the other.... The issue is finding the correct file for the chain, it is a 4.5mm file and I am finding they are hard to come by. It might be easier to find a different chain that uses a more common file. For a while Oregon was putting the wrong file in their 4.5 mm package so I am hesitant on mail order.
On problem is that a lot of 7/32 low profile chains take 5/32" (4.0mm) while others take 11/64" (4.5mm). So just looking for a sharpening kit made for 7/32" low profile chain is no guarantee you'll get what you are looking for. On the other hand, Using a 5/32" file on a chain designed for 11/64" (4.5mm) files still gives pretty good results.
