  • Update Watch this Updated Video With the new USA Made Timberline version • Best Chainsaw Sharpene...
    Update: Recently, I received feedback on this sharpener, with about 50% of the people loving it and %50 hating it. It seems quality control may be hit or miss. My sharpener was good from the start. This video has been out a good while; things may have changed. I thought you should know. Here is a link to the American Made version: The Quality Control on this is really good. www.shforestrysupplies.com/sh...
    This could be the best chainsaw sharpener I have ever used. Understand, it is not for every kind of chain, but if you are sharpening a 30-degree 3/8, .404 Inch Pitch .050,.058, & .063, this may be the best one for you too. My chain is a 30-degree 3/8 pitch full chisel with a .050 gauge.

    Been sharpening chainsaw blades by hand for close to 60 years and in my opinion I have become pretty good, but in the back of my mind I always thought that I could do better.

    After trial and error with no tutorial I taught myself the in's and out's of how to sharpen a chain quite well by hand because buying new or having someone else do it got old real quick. I also learned how to use an electric bench sharpener and that's great for the heavy lifting when im not in the field, However I'm only in my late thirties and developing arthritis in my hands pretty bad so this tool interests me for days I may have trouble gripping a file.

    That canter knob is to keep chain link from moving sideways, mostly helps when doing cutters that are facing towards the carbide, you was doing the cutters that was facing away....

    Bought the east file sharpener and that thing work’s excellent as well.
    The sharpener here does have a bit of an upper hand that it doesn’t need to have the bar in a vice.
    The easy file does the rakes as well, so I’d say that plus maybe the cost would probably be the easy file’s advantage. I bought the knock off for about $20.00 and should be good for about 20 sharpening’s.

    I have one of these and grew frustrated with trying to get it set up correctly. I do think keeping your chain tight on the bar helps, but it seems to still have a lot of variance (movement) throughout the remainder of the sharpening process. I went back to my cordless Dremel and can do a satisfactory job in less than 1/3 the time with the new sharpener.

      I worked on a sawmill log deck back when all the logs were skidded through the dirt, which made it very difficult to maintain a sharp chain. I tried every gadget I could find and they helped me to learn the proper angle, depth, and raker tolerance. Once I understood how the shapes of the three surfaces should appear and could guide the file through the gullet in a straight line with light pressure back and then up, I was able to feel and hear when the tooth was sharp. It took a lot time to get good at it, but the better I got the easier my job was. The joy that I feel when the saw pulls itself into the log effortlessly and the engine honks like a Harley Davidson is the main reason that I enjoy processing my firewood. Remember to follow the rule of the 7 P's - prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance!

I have a problem where I live, no one seems to know how to grind them. Most of the time they are in worse shape then when I took them in. Basically I'm on my own....lol

    that little center thumbwheel is to snug against the individual link in the chain so it doesn't kick up and mess with the angle. I got one and felt poorly about the sloppy fit of the threads. I might want to re-tap them larger and go with a more snug fit. I especially disliked the little crome thumbscrew and sliding fit of the tooth positioning rig. It just seemed too sloppy and loose.
    I may machine up a better fitting piece to slide in the aluminum extrusion, even put a little detent nylok ball in it to make it stay in place better.

      Some sharpeners from china aliexpress look like this but appear to be cheap copy and geometrically wrong. They might be rejects or copies of rejects being sold? But main problem is the two guide holes appear further appart meaning the second angle is futher from tooth holding adjustment and not enough adjustment travel. Another china one slightly different looking had same problem and was also badly made, adjustment thread lumpy, guides in oversize jig holes relying on a back plate to wedge tight at angle? Be carefull what you buy online as not all the same and some false advertising photos are used.... they give you choice of colour gold red blue black silver...
