Stihl FG2 bench sharpener boo boo

It will hold it, just horizontal. Ideally you need to be able to rotate the file in the housing, just like BobL's pic that Philbert posted.

The problem is it's not realistic to machine a part like that in volume. There's just to much time involved. No one would pay what it would cost to make Is my dilemma. I'm open to a good universal design that can be made easily

If it could be made easily, we would not be so interested in your brother-in-law's capabilities!

I will likely be making my replacement out of a piece of aluminum bar stock (easy to machine) with mostly a drill press, hack saw, and thread tap. Probably will not have the double chisel bit file adaptor, which would be easiest on a lathe.

What is the angle that the holder would need to hold the file if we had that a straight groove would be easier than the original triangle.

 

[Philbert]

It needs to be variable. Everyone wants to adjust it, and it has to flip over to do both sides.

It can't hurt to ask what a model with bushings would cost. How many orders would it take to make it worth doing?

10 sets or so would make a good start
