Northern Industrial Bench-Mount Saw Chain Sharpener Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can't beat the price on this sharpner. It works fantastic. I mounted mine to my work bench and have used it extensively. The instructions it comes with are absolutely terrible, but a litttle common sense and you will figure it out.

Oregon 23820 Sure Sharp Chain Saw Manual Filing/Sharpening Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a difference! I used this jig to sharpen the chain on my 18" Craftsman chain saw. Yesterday, it was burning its way through wood; today, it cuts like butter. This saw has never cut this well, even when the chain was factory fresh. I had even purchased a new Oregon chain, which also did not cut as well.
Easy to use - but be aware that you have to buy the correct round files for you chain, and also a flat file for filling the blade guides. This kit has the file handle, so you only need the files, which run about $7 for two. You just clamp it to the rivets of the chain and to the bar, set the depth, and then file. The only tricky part is setting the depth - just make sure you are not bottoming the file out below the cutter and you are golden. After filing a few cutters, you'll get the hang of it. Doesn't hurt to have a backup chain, however - first sharpen the one that cuts the worst, and by the time you get to your "good" chain, you will be an expert.
I don't do a lot of cutting, and thought I could avoid the whole chain saw sharpening Zen, but you really have to learn it, as the blade goes dull after only an hour or so of cutting. So if you want to use a chain saw, you really do have to learn how to sharpen the chain yourself, or purchase several chains and find a good sharpening shop. If you have your chains shop-sharpened, however, you won't be able to touch them up in the field, due to differences in the sharpening grinders used in professional shops.
Once you set the correct angles with this jig, you can touch up the chain easily by hand, using the same file.
Don't file too much - it is easy to file away half of your cutter if you are not careful. Just a few strokes (3-5) will do it.

Granberg Bar-Mount Chain Saw Sharpener, Model# G-106B Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researced maybe 3 different types and selected the Granberg only because it was stated to be the Original and still the best. It has lived up to the claims and have been very satisfied with the product. The only down side was the directions are lousy. There are 3 or 4 important adjustments to be made each time you use the sharpener and the directions just are not clear.

Dremel 1453 Chain Saw Sharpening Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When a chainsaw is sharpened, the sharpening tool is always referenced to the top of the cutting tooth (see the sharpening instructions from any saw chain manufacturer).
However, on Dremel attachment 1453, front of box, the picture shows the guide riding on the chain's depth gauge instead. Printed instructions on the back of the box (and supported with pictures) confirm this error for both left and right teeth.
To further confuse matters, the instruction sheet inside the box describes a method where the guide rides on top of the tooth for one side of the chain, but on top of the depth gauge for the other side! This is also incorrect, in addition to contradicting the instructions on the box.
Nonetheless, the device works adequately, especially if the user modifies the procedure to cause the guide to ride on top of the cutters for both sides of the chain.
In my opinion, this would become an excellent attachment if the instructions were rewritten, the pictures on the box replaced by correct ones, and the guide manufactured as a mirror image of the one presently sold. This would allow sharpening both sides from the non-engine side of the saw, thereby allowing two more teeth to be sharpened before chain repositioning. On an 18 inch bar this amounts to five rather than three teeth for left side cutters - a 67 percent improvement.
I have e-mailed Dremel with some of these observations, but received no reply!
