Lidl electric chainsaw sharpener.

Was that before or after you sharpened it ? I did one on my friend's electric saw and the angles and tooth lengths were all over the place and it practically cut round corners before it was done.

 

After I sharpened it. That's what surprised me as I am sure I have done all the sizes on it. He said it never cut at all and went out for a new chain not sure what size it was but was a who flung dung saw.

Just bought one of these, looks ok for the money!!!

Just had a play, I'm impressed! Does anyone else find it sharpens to a slightly deeper depth on one side of the chain? Not much to worry about just curious!

I never noticed it but you have to take the slack out of the pawl without bending it.

Cool. It's not really an issue, just wondered if I was doing sommit wrong!

Bought one a couple of years ago and it's fine also bought some spare discs off them as well. No problems

Picked one up today - nice and smooth - that disc looks awfully small compared to the teeth on one of our 3/8 chains, and the 325 as well for that matter. It looks like it would do the 3/8 picco and 1/4 okay though.

You have to make sure the chain doesn't lift when you clamp it as well.

I made up a small weight out of some washers and a bolt (looks like a double brimmed hat), and I lay this in the bottom of the loop I'm sharpening, keeps the chain tight in the track, and a little pull back against the stop after every advance keeps every thing spot on, you soon get into a routine when using the machine

How does this unit compare to the Portek ones?
