Electric sharpener

[Jonny Burch]

Evening!

 

After reading lots of posts on the subject can anyone recommend an electric sharpener

for badly damaged chains? I'm quite happy with using a hand file most of the time but seem to have a collection that have hit metal etc and fancy a machine to get the cutters all the same length.

 

Any help much appreciated

If you are going to do a few a week only then the Silverline one won't break the bank and it does the job - like any tool, you get to know the best way to use it with experience - the Portek disks fit but make sure you get the right diameter mounting hole - it comes with a 4.5mm disk for 3/8 chains and larger 0.325 ones!

 

If you have more bucks then I believe the Oregon one is good but have no experience of it!

ive got 1 of the oregon bench mounted 1's and they are top quality sharpeners really the price reflects it though couple hundred quid if not more.

I have a precision tooling speed sharp. It's basically an Oregon one with a different badge. It's good if you set it up right. You can fly through chains if they are just having a little tickle. And can get badly mullerd ones back razor sharp quickly. Be careful now to push too hard or you blue the cutters and they lose their hardness!
