Turns out I was awful at sharpening my chainsaw and it now goes through wood like butter.Post tools that improved something you where doing terribly
>>2986753>einhellthis brand become really popular in like 5 years, I got their grinderis any of their products any good?
>>2986760This is the first thing I've ever gotten from them.I wouldn't get anything that isent marked "professional"Its a cheap brand and I'm told this is missing an adjustment.That said after 2 chains it was not overheating.And I haven't had problem with it after 3 months.I don't know what to tell you reviews online are mixed and some people say they had a bad time.It was cheap like 80€
>>2986753I dont mean to be an elitist, but when you get REAL (sorry those things never work really well) sharpening equipment and learn how to use it you will get the real performance your chainsaw is capable of
>>2986771I don't need perfect.This is really close to the factory sharpening.I'm happy
>>2986753That Stihl 2in1 file guide is really good too
Any man that needs a tool ain't no man.
>>2986828cause he's THE tool amiright
>>2986828I need tools for everything I can barely use my fingers neurological problem.
I suck at sharpening drills, but I've also never found a drill sharpener that actually works. Oddly I found it easy to sharpen a chainsaw by hand. I learned it when I worked for a trail crew.
>>2987016>never found a drill sharpener that actually worksthe chinks have come up with a winner in the 13x series but like everything from the orient it needs fucking with out of the box to function correctly. and that was about an hour with a dial indicator knocking the various parts around i liked it enough i bought a 26d to do up to 3/4 and will buy the biggest one eventually
>>2986753That motor seems comically massive considering it can be done with a dremel
>>2987023your dremel has a 1 1/2 inch wheel
>>2986753are these actually good for sharpening?
>>2986753I remember being a young lad in a hardware store and we had one of these. I was never shown how to properly use it, I ruined many chains after being told to sharpen them without understanding anything about it.
>>2986828Don't use tools, be the tool!
Automatic wire strippers. Easily in the top 10 of favorite tools I own.
>>2986753>Having to take the chain off every time you want to sharpen itJust get one of these and be done with it.
>>2989379Eh, I'll stick to my plain round files. $20 fucking dollars for that plastic Chinese bullshit file holder ain't worth it. Besides, if you use a chain saw long enough one of those old metal ones will magically appear in your case after a while. Just like if you have a rolling toolbox it will spawn allen keys in the back of the drawers after a while.
>>2989380$20 ain't bad to not have to worry about angles, depth , all that bullshit and plus it's twice as fast as plain files because it files down the raker the perfect amount while sharpening the cutter. I can also give this tool to a retard apprentice or woman and expect a half ass not fucked up result
>>2989396>the perfect amountyou mean the chink eyeballed amountyou can propably write an entire book about chain geometry for different horsepower saws for different cuts on different wood species
