I haven't seen anything similar so I thought I would do this out of interest.

You can vote for as many as you use out of the following;

 

1. File guide- standard round file in a guide

2. Roller guide - Round file in a roller guide

3. Electric sharpener - Any handheld electric sharpener

4. Bench grinder - Bench mounted disc grinder

5. Powersharp - the oregon 'auto-sharpen' chain or anything similar.

6. 2 in 1 sharpener - Does the depth guages at the same time

7. Clamp on bar guide - like this

8. Other - Angle grinder, electric drill etc. :)

9. Freehand

 

 

Let me know if I've missed anything, it should be interesting to see the results...

 

Edit: I missed out freehand in the poll because I was too busy thinking of all the file guides. It might be added later if not just post.

Used to do free hand and file guide but now I just accept I can't get the chain right without a clamp on type guide :blushing:

 

 

I can freehand a couple of times but after this can't get everything right and tooth length and angle suffer...
