Chain Sharpening

I do a fair bit a sharpening for locals, is there an opening to do commercially?

In my opinion you can't charge too much as a new chain loop is only £15 - £20 and many will just make their own loops themselves.

 

To do the cutters and rakers/depth gauges, it takes time to do a good job and the worst bit is most professionals sharpen themselves and hate others doing it.

 

I rarely sharpen chains other then a tickle up to make sure a serviced machine can be used straight away if it came in with a chain fitted in a poor state!

 

Locals ask for their home owner saws to be sharpened and £5-7 each isn't much of a business proposition!

I agree with Spud.

I sharpen chains for £7.50 (and unlike Spud, that includes VAT) and its probably the least profitable thing I do.
