Anyone try this sharpener?

I'd be concerned about the file wiggling when you rotate it with as much lever as the handle provides

Looks like a copy of a timberline sharpener that was pretty popular about 10 years ago. The original cost about 125, people liked them. I'd get a Stihl 2 in 1 instead.

Better yet a Granberg or Tecomec file jig.

I use the Grinder from Harbor Freight. Works great. https://www.harborfreight.com/electric-chain-saw-sharpener-63803.html

Wranglerstar did a review of the Timberline brand. I didn't see any brand on the link you gave. The Timberline is $120

I have the same grinder.. for 30 bucks you cant beat it. Sharpen 3 loops and it paid for itself, and you know its done right. I still hand file, but after a while and hitting a nail here and there this will fix a chain quick

It's a scam. You will either get nothing for your money or some cheaply made junk.

The harbor freight grinder works fantastic and gets a super sharp chain. You can chew through a chain pretty quickly with that though.

Agreed, for $40ish I like the Granberg better than all the previous sharpeners I’ve bought. The HF is ok for a rocked chain, I use the 2 in1 alot but if I have the time the Granberg is my go-to

I have the Granberg and Tecomec Deluxe jig and both have enough play in the whole setup to allow for some "English" on the angles, but the cutter length stays pretty consistent. Before I became proficient with my Tecomec Super Jolly grinder I was getting smoother milling cuts with my bar mounted jigs. Now that I'm good with the Super Jolly I won't ever go back.

I really like that guys videos. Not surprised at the results. If you have the patience, guys have always loved the Granbergs.

Spoiler alert - the 2 Granberg's for the win with the HF sharpener doing better than more expensive sharpeners.

I was pretty quick with the Granberg hand filing jig before moving on to the 12v Granberg electric grinder jig. Eventually I wanted something better than the bar mounted grinder and ended up finding a sale on Tecomec Super Jolly grinders and placed an order. The boards I'm making with my chainsaw mill are near finish quality.

I don’t sharpen chains enough to warrant a $300+ grinder. I’ll stick with the Granberg for now 😁

If you can find one, the Stihl FG2 is a great bench mount filing jig. I love mine. I do all my major filling with it and just hand file in the field for touch ups.
