Electric Chainsaw Sharpener
« on: November 11, 2015, 02:25:00 PM »
I thought there was a discussion on this some time ago but I cannot find it now.  I am interested in buying an electric chainsaw sharpener.  For those that have one, and are very happy with it, could you please tell me the brand you are using and the wattage eg 350w?

Thankyou

A mate of mine put me onto one of these, plugs into the car or camper Anderson Plugs and takes no time to touch up a chain   :cup: . It's small and easy to carry/transport, but I've added the Anderson Plug as it came with alligator clips.

Father has used those for years and loves them, one is on my "one day" list, I take a bit better care of my saw and cut a fair bit less wood (and less ground  ;D ) than him, he has a house heater, I only cut when I camp or clean up after a storm, so I get buy with the old hand file ok.

Was thinking more along the line of the ones that you put the chain in and set your angles and then has a sharpening disk that comes down and sharpens each link exactly the same.

I bought 1 of these eBay cheapies. Goes great and although not a lot of heavy use, still going after 5 years.

I live in the country and I have cut a fair amount of fire wood, I only use a file. Carry a spare chain, a mate used a 12v sharpener and his always needed a touch when we are out together. I usually get 3-4 ute loads of wood out of a sharpen. My chainsaw came with the 12v sharpener still in the box from 6 years ago.

supachimp have one thats  easy to use i forget the wattage but very easy to use and about $50 bucks or so to buy the replacement sharpening discs are about $13 bucks, well worth the outlay.

Looks like a good idea, some mixed reviews on amazon but will probably give it a go as I need a new bar anyway.

I use one of these. Brings back a perfect straight edge with squared edges and only takes 5 minutes for a chain. Super easy for a dummy and I carry a spare chain if it goes dull in the bush (it is still in the box).

I bought one when I was in the US at the start of the year. I find it works well, if the chain starts getting a bit dull then strap on the sharpener and 3 seconds later you are good to go.
They are cheap over there, here, not so much.

The teeth are a bit more delicate than the standard chains and I have bent one and it led to the chain jamming in logs which was a bit annoying. It has worn down so isn't an issue any more. I think the chains are more suited to cutting American soft woods than dry Aussie ironbark, but it still goes well.

I had to hunt around to get the stuff there though (not much call for chainsaws in Arizona I suppose) and it didn't look like the idea was really taking off, so I wouldn't be surprised if this good idea withered and died. I got a new bar (you need a new bar to suit the sharpener), the sharpener and 3 chains (chains come with a new sharpening stone), so I should be good to go for a while at least.

Bit of a pain to need to use a proprietary chain too.   The bar I get as the tool needs to clip in nice and solid.

I have one just like this, never used it, always a file. I can usually cut two or three ute loads before needing a sharpen.
