I can sharpen a chain in 10 minutes or less. If it's really bunged up then multiples of that. Most of my time is in R&R the chain and cleaning it in a tub with some solvent.
Or get a good one!!!
You got deep pockets go for $500 Oregon one . [emoji106][emoji3]Or get a good one!!!
This question comes into " How long is a piece of string" factory new robot macine sharpened chain will usually be to an acceptable edge, but if you have someone that knows his stuff his hand sharpened chain will be better than new. So factory is usually to a certain standard; shop machine or hand is dependent on the skill of the person doing the jobI took 7 chains into the old time local shop that I really like, but it took them over two weeks to get all the chains sharpened. The only charged me $44 for all of them, which is overall a pretty good price. Now the downside. I put on of one the freshly sharpened chains on the 038MagII that has a 25" bar and did some test cuts on some 16" oak. Really cut slow. Next I grabbed my 036 with a 20" bar with a brand new 3/8" 33 RS3 72 and cut the same log and it blazed through it. Both saws are well tuned, so it's got to be the chain. Going to hand file the shop sharpened chain and try it again, then put on a fresh Stihl chain and make another cut.
Is this experience an outlier, or do new factory sharpened chains generally out cut shop sharpened chains?
In any event it looks like I need to start shopping for a Grandberg 106B.
