Chainsaw sharpener

I've got a Romanian, he can sharpen a chain in 5 minutes to perfection. Everyone needing a chain sharpener should hire a Eastern European. They are great loggers too, great work ethic and they never complain.[/QUO:thumbup:

I use a file when i'm out on a job away from the vehicle, but now and again (when I can) I will use my Dremel 8000 cordless i-on with the chainsaw adapter to sharpen my chains.

It is far better than a chainsaw grinder as you do not have to take the chain off the saw and you do not remove as much as you would with the grinder or file.

With a file you will find that it does leave a slight serrated edge and burring, this causes the cutting edge to splinter and dull quicker.

With the Dremel the secret is to just rest the grinding stone on the tooth and not put pressure on it as this burns the cutting edge causing it to become brittle, after just a couple of seconds of grinding you will have a super smooth mirror like edge with no burring.

 

If any of you use hedge clippers and find them time consuming to sharpen you can use the mower blade adapter. Just unbolt blades pop them into a vice, the adapter is set to the optimum cutting angle so each edge should be at the identical pitch. should not take more than 10mins.
