Have anyone of u seen this thing u put on the end of ur saw bar, press it against the ground while the saw is running and it's supposed to sharpen the chain? Iv seen it in northern tool catalog and seen it on this old house or something the other day. I wonder if it works and how it works. I have a bench mounted chain grinder, but this thing is faster!

I had sharpened lots of chains with a file, Cant see how that would work. It would be interesting to see

I've seen them in Orschelin's. They take a special chain and are kinda pricy. I don't know how they work but I bet a chain doesn't last long.

Most folk prefer to remove the bar and chain for cleaning and inspection. Ensuring the oil holes are clear and bar burs are filed off.
We use a bench mounted wheel grinder for a factory fresh edge every time. Chain lasts longer and cuts truer/faster.

Might work for a mildly worn chain, but I can't imagine it removing a really bad nick from hittin a stone or wire.

Chains sharpen from the inside of the tooth. All external sharpening will not make a real edge ment to cut aggressively. It is finesse not speed that makes a loop pay to sharpen it. A good file lasts only 5 sharpenings or less with hard, or chrome alloy chain, A rotary tool works well, but knowingt what you are intending to make the tooth look like, and having the raker depth correct makes the real difference. I made probably 30 gallons of fat chips day before yesterday.

I've seen them on Bailey's for a while now, but it looks like too much of a gimmick to me. I've got a bench sharpener and always carry a file for touch ups. This thing doesn't seem like it would save me much time. It seems like it's marketed toward the consumer market instead of the commercial one so that should be a big hint.

oregon usually has good stuff, but id run from this one, think about it a minute, when you manualy sharpen a saw chain, when your done the cutter tooth is slightly above the height of the raker tooth, at least it is on the skip tooth full chisle chain ive run for decades on my saws, if a sharpener files the cutter tooth the same height as the raker, the cut will be much less, even if the chain is sharp, when i was young i had a old craftsman saw, it had one of those built in sharpeners mentioned below, that saw wouldnt cut worth a @#$%, your money, your saw, your choise

I have a craftsman saw with a power sharpener on it. It has the stone on the back. It works great! That saw will out cut any saw I've ever seen in its' size range. It just takes a little touch with the stone and the teeth are razor sharp, and I mean RAZOR sharp! It cuts so well that you can't put much pressure on it or it pulls down the motor. Just the weight of the saw and it will throw a large stream of chips. If I remember correctly, it was called a barracuda chain. What I don't understand is why they weren't more popular. I think maybe people didn't know that it only takes a couple little touches with the stone to make it razor sharp. They probably over did the stone and ruined the blade. My brother had a big heavy stil and this little saw would cut twice as fast as his and twice as easy to carry around all day.
