Oregon Powersharp

[john dawson]

Today we had a Demonstration and general overview of Oregon and the new Powersharp system.

A good morning was had by all, and we would thoroughly reccommend it to anyone.

 

Thanks Les!!

we have one and it is the last one we will ever buy. terrible. the idea is good but in prctice doesnt work. when it gets past a certain point it doesnt resharpen itself. we great to start with but half way through the chain it looks like it has munching flint even after its been sharpened.

Hi, i would like to see your chain and set up as i have destroyed over 20 chains right to the end of their life each being put into bricks, concrete and the like, i have seen many with the teeth battered but they all still cut.

 

Powersharp doesn't need to have a clean edged feed angle like conventional chain when it's been worked hard and can look ragged compared to a filed tooth, however it still cuts until the tooth has no more top angle left. Then just as normal chain wears out you replace it.

 

Any chance you can get to Winchester next week on Thursday morning as i'm there.

 

I'd like to know how many sharpens it's had and see the stone you fitted with the chain.

Hi Les

could it be they have not dropped the depth guages

I was very surprised how many cuts i got in before even having to sharpen at all

I was quite looking forward to these coming out and made a good point to go and see them be tested at the APF, where, to my disappointment, I was very underwhelmed! It may have sharpened the chains but the chains did not seem to cut as fast as a normal chain in the first instance anyway!

I will see what im up too, should be ok though. im sure the chain hasnt worn out already as its had about 4 sharpens.

Like i said i was great when we first got it. but it just cuts ike a blunt saw now even after sharpening. my collegue also bent a tooth when he first used it. we took this back to winchester and they said they would let oregon know bout it.

The stone fitted is the one that comes with the chain. we have checked all of it and art from the obvious wear to the stone there is no form of debris in the device that could prevent it from sharpening.

could you pm me what time you wil be in wgm please?

 

thanks

the whole chain is sharpened with the one device. or thats what i was tod anyway . the chain is not lik a convetional chain atall.

We use them for cutting in considerably dirty conditions. Cutting muddy logs blunts even the Oregon multicut chain fairly quick. These powersharps are a bit of a godsend!
