any one ever used one of these or is it junk

Yes, I have used one (but I don't own it, it was my local tool hire guy's sharpener) - why do you ask?

thinking about getting one if they work

Do you use your chainsaw a lot?

not a lot but i need it sharp

 

[Micky1964]

It's probably not worth buying one then. Ask your local tool hire shop or have a look online, it's usually only about out a tenner to get it sharpened.

cost is not the problem just need to know if it will work or not. I have 3 chains that need more than a touch up with a file, and a trip to the nearest saw doctor will cost over £20.00 in fuel so it will pay for its self the first time i use it.

 

[Micky1964]

ah ok, in that case then: yes they do work well

Out of interest merlin how much do the machines cost? I tend to sharpen mine up with the file but to be honest the files don't seem to last that long.

More posts about chainsaws recently.
You all chopping down trees for your wood burners?

Better not let the tree huggers in GD see this

Merlin, if you go for one of these would you be good enough to post back with your opinions?
I guess the thing would put an edge on the chain well enough, but I don't know how it would cope with the 'barbed wire' cutting events that we get from time to time.
