Electric bench sharpeners

[Swampster]

Any opinions or experience of sub £100 chain sharpeners? Mine has finally snuffed it and I'm after a replacement. Thanks.

I've got the clarke one from machine mart. I find it ok, does the job.

Thanks, I've ordered a Sealey one but the Clarke was no less an option. I'm replacing a Florabest Lidl (high end?) machine, which in fairness has lasted years and done miles of chain.

Do they do different size chain, like 1/4 inch too?

[Swampster]

Yes, I've sharpened everything from an MS880 chain to a 150's tiny chain on the same machine. Technically this may be wrong but they've all performed like new afterwards, and it beats hand sharpening any day (for ease).

Which one? If swampster doesn't want it could I?

I'm all sorted, thank you. My new one is already on its way.

That sounds good. I find the 150 chain a tad tricky to sharpen, probably need new files, but it'd be nice to be able to get it back to new easily!
