  1. I've been using a Lidl sharpener for the past couple of years too. I find if I set the gauge as it says, I'm taking off huge amounts on some teeth - also takes too long and risks overheating/blueing the cutting edge. Instead I just go by feel and take the minimum off each tooth to give a sharp edge. Doesn't bother me if a few end up shorter than the rest - no point shortening the life of the whole chain just to get them all the same length.
  2. You'll presumably need the conventional adjuster screw etc as well...?
  3. First saw I ever bought was a 1980 Jonsered 630. Cost me 35 quid from an auction of equipment from Loughborough University grounds department in about 1994, and it's still going strong!
