Also got one this morning. Seems pretty solid, tried it on one chain, looks pretty good now.

 

I'd certainly say it appears to be a proper bargain

Gave it a right good test last night, its quiet, accurate, quick, and at £20 a bl00dy bargain. great bit of kit.

I screwed a piece of 2x1 to the base of mine and clamp it in the vice, handy tool.

That's a good idea ill pinch I think. Mine will get used 2 or 3 times a year I would think so doing that will save me some space

I went king-size and used 2 x 2 lol

My idea is to use some big washers & thumb nuts to removable mount it on the top of my saw/processor tool box.

I picked one up as well and I've had a quick play with it, sharpening about 5 old and in-use chains. It seems I have to reset the depth and width for each side of the chain. So my chain teeth are now not the same width for the left cut and the right cut as each time I reset the width, it will vary. All of the left teeth are the same width and all of the right teeth are the same width but they are not necessarily identical. Anyone else find this? By width I mean the length of the top of the tooth as you look vertically down onto the chain as fitted into the guide (or bar).

Well that is down to you to grind both sides to the same length so the chain cuts even.

This should be done no matter what method of sharpening you use, file or grinder.
