oregon power sharp

[jose]

anybody else bought one?

 

we got one the other day for one of our ms200t to compare ( and my brother cant sharpen the saw very well).

 

My opinion- dont get one if you are a professional, ie use saws everyday.

 

The first thing is it feels like you need to take the rakers down. found i kept reaching for the files!

 

doesnt like cutting thin barnches, its ok on the thicker stuff.

 

Once we tried out sharpening it i got to say it didnt cut as good as when we first got it.

 

this is my opinion but i wouldnt buy it again.

really ideal for a diy style home garden guy just doing the odd bit of cutting but not for everyday stuff.

 

though i could be tempted to try again if they ever sort it out for use of big saws( hate sharpening the 046 with a big bar on!)

I was going to keep one on a saw for thous times when all else fails and you need a sharpish saw.

great for roots and rubbish wood, i also use one on my fencing saw seems to handle hitting nails better than a normal chain. not for tree surgery though, but has its place in the arsenal.

I agree with the initial comments.

 

You can hit nails and rocks but it does pretty much knacker the chain. You can re sharpen after but never comes right again.

 

Has it's place but really for dirty work and hobby users but that's about it.

I've think that it might have a place as butting off saw for when doing windblow.
