My thoughts excatly!

I have never sharpened a chain before, and after watching the video I went out spent 4 or 5 minutes tops mounting the saw in my vise & running thru all the teeth. A very dull chain burned more than cut before zipped thru a log & left really long nice shaving. Awesome outcome.

I have owned chain saws for around 50 years. I always used a filing jig and have always been quite proud of how good my saw always cut. I bought one of these new 2 in 1 sharpeners and used it for the first time this weekend. Wow, it exceeded all my expectations in ease of use, quick to do a touch up and improved the cutting ability of the chain by a lot more than I could have imagined. All this on Australian Jarrah which is a true hardwood. The best investment I have made in ages.

This is the best tool file i have ever used. I can go from a dead chain to it cutting like butter in 5 min. I HIGHLY recommend.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to better under the benefits of using this tool over just a round file. Thanks!

I use this tool. supporting the saw at the rear is an excellent suggestion. Love the tool. great video

I used to watch my father get frustrated at sharpening chains so I just bought new ones all the time. I really wasn’t using chainsaw that much. But now I cut wood for fireplace. I will say after some apprehension due to price I decided to give it a try. So easy to use and chain cuts like new. Thank you

I been using one of these for a year, they are brilliant. Make sure you get the right sharpener for your chain size, as there are different sizes. money well spent.

Thank yu so much for sharing this! Finally had to sharpen my chain saw and i was so confused on how to use this sharpened until you demonstrated!

I sharpened my saw INCORRECTLY and will use your technique to do it again. I have a bench vice and the sharpening tool. Great video. Thanks for your straightforward approach.

Well done, thanks, to the point and no wasted time.

Perfect! I sharpen mine the same exact way. I use a 3/8 though.

Amazing sharpener. I have had one for years. I finally used it. Wow it lowered through wood awesome.

This tool works really well I just used it today and after using it the chain cut faster than when it was brand new.

Wow-- pretty impressive demonstration. Concise, to the point, AND you even "duck" the music under the voice! Thumbs up.

Thanks mate, for the instruction. I got to do mine in the next few days. Sounds like a lot of people enjoy it too!

Great to the point video. I too use this tool, simple and effective. Was looking for a video to share with a friend.

@Canopus68

Жыл бұрын

On most bars that I use the size of the chain is engraved or stamped into the bar. For example if there's a 3/8s stamped on the bar, that is the size of the chain, the size of the file and the 2in1. The 3/8s is also printed on the tool package. The only thing you need to do is turn vice to a comfortable angle and make sure the chain doesn't hit the threaded shaft that closes and opens the jaws. Depend on the size of the saw and bar you may want to put a block under the body of the saw to raise it up and make it fairly level. I hope this helps.

Thank you 🙏 I wasn’t sure how to use this sharpener. I lost the instructions & was kind of lost.

Wish there was a video like this for sharpening a chain with one of those chisels with three 45 degree angles. Forgot what that is called, but I have used them in them in the past and the hardest wood cuts like a hot knife through butter and stays sharp all day.

Really appreciate this video, I feel more confident now :)

When I first used this it took a few seconds to orient it correctly so the flat file sits on the raker. Simple to use tool.

How do you keep the right file angle to the cutter with these types of sharpeners? Looks like all you can do is eyeball the plastic handle edge and try and keep it parallel with the bar?

Good demonstration. Thanks.

I have 3 saws and they using different size chains, can we change the file on this tool? Or I have to buy one tool specific for each size chain and also when the file goes bad can we change it?

The file teeth are cut at an angle and are designed to cut while pushing the saw in only one direction. Normally that is pushing away from your body to cut.

RB Mike. Looks like you just moved into your shop. Way too fresh, new, and neat. Ha! I don't need to sharpen my Echo very often but when I do I need a refresher on my beloved Stihl Sharpener.

I have an old 041 Farm Boss. What if the size of the chain is worn off the bar?. Any other way to tell?.

I have still not been able to find information about the angle on these tools. Are they set at 25 deg or 30 deg or something else. And what is the depth on the rakers. My chain is .025 depth and I wouldn't want it filing them down too deep.

Super helpful. Thanks

0.325 is your chain pitch, that doesn't tell you what size tool you need, you need to know the file size, Stihl measures it in millimeters, the ms261c is a 4.8mm for example, the ms170 is a 4mm

I love this tool. The only down side is you have to buy the right gauge for your saw. I have four chain saws. Two are different eras of the same saw so that's one tool. The other two are different so I need two tools. My big Sthil takes the longest, it has a 25 inch bar on it. I don't understand why you are pulling back on the tool. Did you turn the files around? Files only work in one direction. I use a plastic scrubby pad to clean the files. Over time the tiny chips can build up on the files and keep from cutting as well as they should. Over all a good demonstration.

@@RunBikeMike Stihl puts out an excellent book about chains and bars. There are tables showing file size to chain pitch. Also details the meaning of the letters found on each link, one of which indicates the file type. The only problem I found is that with small electric saws the file length is shorter than say an MS231 chain, ONE has to buy the tool holder as well, should have an option to buy files of the same length as larger saws one file length thru-out range.

Two round because the sharpener has two sides. A flat file is in the middle for the rakers.

hand file by someone who knows what they're doing is without a question going to get a better performing chain, but this might be useful for homeowners wanting a quick touch up
