Take a look at Powersharp

[Les Cork]

Hi all

 

Available for the MS200/020T and other small saws later in 2010 [sept launch] is the powersharp system from Oregon

 

see PowerSharp sharpens chain on the saw, on the job, in seconds and watch the video

 

also see a forum https://blountowa.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=125402

 

Lots of FAQ's on the above forum

 

This is an evolved and redeveloped chain from the 70's and should help all who can't sharpen, work in dirty wood and who want to spend more time cutting.

 

It will not replace our conventional chain for mid range to large saws.

The NPTC might like to see this as an option/addition to the training programme ?

Looks like a development of that brilliant innovation called Topsharp:001_smile: No doubt they'll sell loads of chain through over eager use of the device.

So what will a new bar, a pair of chains & this device cost?

do you think it will revolutionise the chainsaw chain market?

Are there plans to do it in regular 3/8 and 325

good post

keep us informed

Looks a good concept

I'll stick to a round file.

I'll stick to a round file.

 

Me too. States on the video you need specialised tools to sharpen a normal chain:001_smile:

 

This'll probably go the same way as their old topsharp system/gimmick years ago.

Looks a brilliant concept... Not so sure it's relevant for the 200T as it's no hassal to take a round file to it and you're much less likely to hit dirt and grit up a tree.

 

But this would be perfect for cutting firewood and working in gritty conditions.

 

I love seeing new and innovative things like this coming along in tree work... they may not all work but some do and go onto be the benchmark in later years.

 

But will reserve full judgement when I try it as no doubt I will
