Thoughts on Timberline chain sharpener?

[NH_Wood]

Hi guys,

I've been sharpening with a file now for the past 6 months and I've become pretty good - usually get a nice sharp chain, but the angles are not consistent. What do you all think about this sharpener? Pretty pricey, but I cut enough that I don't mind the $ too much. Just don't want to invest if there are some serious cons to the unit. Thanks! Cheers!

Its a nice tool but expensive and replacement bits are expensive too!

Yes - bits are $20. Definitely an investment, but would be nice to have consistent teeth. Thanks! Cheers!

I have that and can knock out 1000's of drive links a week. Without replacing anything yet. Theres good grinder's out there for the same money much faster and cheaper.
