Timberline Chain Sharpner

[5 shires]

Website says they only last forty sharpenings at the least?

 

New file every month for some.

 

I would take that statement with a pinch of salt they are carbide and will last a lot longer then a month.

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:

 

HI WAYNE thats 3 and half packs of files wayne for the price of one at £35 :lol:IM OUT OF THIS DEAL NO DEAL :thumbup:THANKS JON

Hi Marc, I would say 4 to 5 mins. Once it's set up you turn the handle about 4 times. No lifting you just turn the handle and after one side Done you just take handle out put in other side and repeat,don't have to touch the chainsaw it stays were it is. Very simple and quick and chain is spot on sharp. I like it but it's cheap.then again it's quality engineering.

I take it that you meant to say 'not cheap'.

 

So only a little longer than freehand. Be good on those longer chains where i start to get sloppy halfway through.

Looks like the nicest and simplest mechanical sharpening aid. Would have thought the edge would be better than a file due to the direction of cutting.

 

New carbide cutters are $20 on the US site. Can't imagine postage on a few of those would set you back much.

Ya sorry, it's not cheap and ya on the longer chains it's great and like you say no sloppy movements after you start loosing the will to live knowing you got the other side to do.

Do you think it would be easy to use sharpening a loose chain on a spare bar?

 

Hard to sharpen processor blades in place so I do them loose on a spare bar.
