diamond sharpening stones

[harvey b davison]

Hi, I sometimes use a dremel to sharpen my chains, but i am getting increasingly frustrated at the poor quality and cost of the sharpening stones i get ( oregon ). Does any one know where i can get some diamond ones from, and will they last any longer.

Also i notice that the granberg sharpening stones are similar but with a thread on the end, will these stones fit the dremel and are they any better.

 

I'm not really interested in buying another sharpener, i just want some decent longer lasting stones for my dremel, if thats possible.

 

thanks

Harvey.

The ones off ebay are cheap and long lasting. They're fairly fine grained though so not great if a chain is damaged.

Hi, when I got the granberg grinder I did notice that the stones were accurate and good quality compared to some others i`d used, it`s fine with the thread , the diamond ones are on ebay. cheers

I have some flat diamond sharpeners and love them. Great for chisels, planes and other such tools.

Good quality files are the best way to sharpen a chainsaw chain. You can probably dress the top with a diamond coated file but unless you have the perfect sized round sort this may not be so easy.
