Timberline Chain Sharpner

[DanM]

Just stumbled on this when browsing amazon. Looks like a really good bit of kit and simple to use, though a bit pricey for what it is at £175...

Has anyone any experience with one of these? It'd put an end to the usual excuse of not being able to sharpen a saw!

 

And no I'm not a timberline sales rep

Looks awesome but if that's the price it's a bit steep!

Part of the use of a chainsaw is understanding the cutting mechanism and how different angles affect the way a saw cuts.

HI TREE your right loads cheaper and better with a good file no caps for you :thumbup1:thanks jon

I agree its certainly a bit pricey, especially if that's what the files are! Though being carbide I'd expect them to last for a long time. They look similar to carbide air grinder bits and they last for donkeys even when really abused spinning at 20k rpm

Trouble with gizmo sharpening is, one day you wont have the gizmo, or 35 quid for a file:001_rolleyes:

I know I hope they do as well. No I didt know. The picture had 3 different sizes and said £35. Obviously I thought that was for 3. Wrong £35 for one. O well deed done just have to use it a lot. Saying that it works really well and so easy and it gives factory sharp finish. I hear you say it should do for that price:thumbup:

Website says they only last forty sharpenings at the least?

 

New file every month for some.
