New stihl sharpener

[bob]

Has anyone else tried one

Personally I think they are very good just a bit too much money

[Tommy_B]

Not seen it before. Can't work out what you do with it!!! How much are they Bob?

[Dave D]

ooh erh missus, how does that work then, not seen em before.

[Peter]

At a guess I'd say you file the chain with it?

[ScotClayShooter]

Does the rakers at the same time but they are £35 i think!

[bob]

£27.50

bars sit on top of cutters and does depth guage automatically

they are clever and well thought outb

but £££££££££££££££££££££

Certainly i have 4 sizes so more £££££££££££££££££££££££

[treemeup]

is it an optical illusion or is it much shorter than a standard file?

[Justme]

It holds standard sized files. You need 2 sets of files as you turn it a round when changing sides.

[treemeup]

so do you get a full files length of movement? it just looks much shorter

[Rupe]

So would you just use use it once per chain, say mid way through its life to get it back on track?

 

That way it might last long enought to justify itself, but if used for everysharpen that is too expensive!
