chain vice (help)

[harvey b davison]

Please help, i am thinking about getting one of those chain vices that you permanantly fasten to a bench, then you take your chain off the bar and put it in this vice. ( if that makes sense)

 

The vice is long (about 300 mm) and narrow and is fastend to your bench.

 

I have have spent ages googling but carnt find what i'm after.

 

Hope this all makes sense, and can someone please point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks.

If you cant find one you can make one out of a couple of bits of 25mm angle and a couple of bolts and wingnuts

Or u could just get a normal vice clamp the saw (complete) and buy a file guide which would be cheaper. Rob D sells them. Ive got the stihl file guide which is the same as the oregan one he sells just a different colour bud. Great bits of kits👍

I got one some where ... Its basically as described above , 2 bits of angle iron that bolt together with a machined surface . Mine actually is held in a normal vice but has 2 bolts to pull the thing together which you lock off just short of holding the chain then two cam locks to hold it tight so you can quick release it to move the chain along and nip it up again .

why not just do it on the bar?

 

fiddly things to use and takes longer than on the bar aswell.

 

plus a normal vice can hold the whole saw in it while you take the air filter and plug out to check it all over.

Agreed just do it on the bar for normal sharpening but when you have damaged chain or chains it is an advantage I find . Don't find it fiddly its just a clamp afterall . The good thing about them is they grip the chain tightly on the drive links so there is no tenancy for the chain to rock or lean as it can do when in the bar ...

I normally do sharpen on the bar, but just recently i have found my self sharpening more chains than normal and from different machines, so instead of keep have to put chains on a bar to sharpen them, i could just do them in the vice without needing the machine.
