My New Sharpening Kit

[Steve Bullman]

i'd be very surprised if it does as good a job as a hand filed chain.

Great peice of kit I like using it , you only set it up once on your bar and you can sharpen both sides and if you pick the cutter with the worst damage or the smallest cutter set the jig on this one and it will go around the chain and everyone will be the Same depth and length pull out the sharpener and put it in the opposite hole and sharpen tother side

Thanks

It does look like the best mechanical aid, but it is still kind of pointless as a file costs £1 is quicker and better. If you think a brand new chain is the quickest and smoothest a chain can get then it may suit you. Stick with the file and after time you will be amazed at how quick and smooth cutting you can make your chains.

To me it's only going to tickle the tooth because of its fixed position. If you know what i mean

if you look at the cutter its tapered at start so it will cut metal out before a straight barrel bit for evan finnish.

Have you got one

it looks nice and I hope it works for you, the luxury of a mwb van over a pickup or smaller vehicle is having a fold down work bench and vice, a sink and running water, a gas camping stove, frying pan, bacon, baps, brown sauce, tea etc. That way I can file away in comfort. Some would argue a tipping body would be more useful, but different folks have different priorities!

no, but thinking about it. they look a good design, simple.
