Looking at kit to grind chains, would need to cover the full range upto .404, a full auto is circa 3k which is difficult to justify, seen the logosol which looks good, but don’t know what they are really like, also seen the stihl usg looks good but manual operation, thinking there could be a market for sharpening chains for others, but appreciate it could be limited, what’s everybody tend to use, any input appreciated, cheers, and keep on chopping [emoji106]

I think with all these cheap sharpeners about now (lidl/aldi) £30 mark and videos on youtube i would be thinking twice if your looking at making money from the diy market. Couple on the bay seem to have got it cornered if you look.

Valid point, i guess i have a requirement to sharpen my own and as a spin off i could do others, i guess really i should buy what i think i need and if it picks up others then it’s a bonus, i mainly use .404 and 3/8, use about 100 ft of each per year, currently just spin them up use them for about 1500-2000 cuts then hang them on a nail in the barn, sometimes that’s only a days use, very conscious that iam getting a bit of extra time and so should look at sharpeners question is what to go for ? if iam talking about 50 chains of my own a year can i justify an automatic machine and would you want one given a choice ?
