Dremel Sharpener

[Paddy1000111]

Getting kind of fed up with using a file now and after using those electric angle grinder type sharpeners before and hating them with a vengeance, I've seen a fair few posts about using a Dremel for sharpening. Anyone got any feedback? What bits are you using/who from and are you using a jig of any sort? 

 

Thanks!

Yup. Happy with mine, 5 squid off ebay, three diamond stones with it.  Tidied up an old chain nicely.  K

Useful for knocking back large amounts of tooth, but don’t beat hand sharpening

Was that with a guide?

One of those annoyingly simple ideas that works, far better than you think it should. K

Ideal! I just want something to fix a chain with when hitting a stone or something. I was losing the will to live the other day after clipping a stone under a log that was stuck in the ground.

Do you have a compresser?

Funnily enough I have one of those already! I have the battery dremel too so I was hoping to find a good kit for that for some quick, in the field sharpening when I hit a rock or nail or something!

Those are the days you want one for. Ten years ago i would have given my eye teeth fr that buy, on 30"  bars  that walloped a nail. Gently whacked them  back with angle grinder then used a box full of files  😕  k
