Chain grinder

[Ian C]

Hand grinders are ok, the plastic ones are pony though and don't last long, get a good quality one and it will last and be accurate.

Been using the Katsu one for the last year not missed a beat. Looks the same as the Logosol,Oregon machines but for a lot less.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice .There’s quite a range of spec to choose from.

Can you grind the depth gauge rakers with the likes of the Lidl machine or the Katsu ?

Not with the Lidl one. A file is so quick for the rakers anyway why worry

Get a li ion dremel and some dinosaw diamond stones fro. Chainsawbars.co.uk.

It's a fanny on taking the chainsaw off a mill then the chain off everytime you want a sharpen. The diamond ones can be done with it the mill together and are quick. You do need a good eye got sharpening like with a file however.

The cheapo diamond stones last half a chain or so before they are knackered. The dinosaw ones seen to be holding up well

Yes you can set the depth & the move the raker under it.

 

A faff but doable.

Hi I would get the granberg one it sits on the bar has a stop so all cutters are the same ,it runs on a 12v battery so you can just run it from your truck , see Chainsaw Bars they will sort you out

[Estatesman]

Yep. I’m definitely leaning towards the Granberg . It looks like it leaves less error to be made by me. Watched the videos and it seems fairly straight forward without a lot of stripping down.
