Chain Sharpener?

[Big T]

Hiya,

 

Im looking for an electric chain sharpener that wont break the bank, cheap as possible. I know that you get what you pay for but Im not a full time chainsaw user so just want something to keep my chain sharp, any suggestions??

 

Regards,

 

Anthony.

Forget the electric and use a file.

+1

 

- better sharpness

- sharpen anywhere (no need for power outlet nearby)

- faster (except when chain is totally ruined)

- handles any chain size

- longer chain life (only remove the material required)

- Easy

- Cheap

echo the above comment. for the occaisional user who may use a chain or two a year, a file is much easier.

 

Portek do a chain sharpener thats mainly plastic and you do get what you pay for at £40, however ive not used one so dont know if they do a good job or not.

 

i use the equivalent model to the oregon pro bench mounted one and it gives good results, its good for sorting out mullered chains and is about as quick as a hand file when just giving chains a tickle. it keeps angles and the amount taken consistent so the chain will cut straight, which is handy!

My hand sharpening is ok not great. I bought one from lidls for £20 it looks identical to the small oregon one which is £150. It does 325 3/8 and 404 and is great no way would I spend more.

I would second that. It speeds up sharpening big chains, and almost make it a pleasure.

How much is this chain sharpener and what's the make/model?

Cheers

It's £45 to arbtalkers and is here alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill

 

 

I'm a little biased here but I wouldn't be selling them if they were no good.
