Two Things I am hoping to glean wisdom on:
1. Computerized, electronic chain sharpeners: Anyone use a service that does this?
Wondering what the truth is when it comes to computerized sharpeners. I imagine bigger sharpening shops use them since doing hundreds of chains would not be cost effective with more manual methods.
Do they really get chains factory sharp? Or heaven forbid better than?
Anyone recommend a service? I am in WA and prefer to ship as close as possible but would be happy to go with a place that offers bulk discounts and will make it worth while to mail them in. Been looking at:
https://gardenland.com/product/chainsaw-sharpening-service/
Looks like I can get 7 20" chains done for the $50 not a bad deal at $7 each.
These guys look ok too:

Bit more at $7.90 per chain.
2. Mail order sharpening
There are services offered for mail in chain sharpening. Where I live this might be worth the hassle as my other option involves either paying a bridge toll and driving to the nearest shop and paying the ridiculous rate of $10/ chain + tax for sharpening.
No need to tell me to learn to sharpen by hand. I have a timberline sharpener and I touch my chains up and adjust the rakers etc. most of the time. Sometimes though a chain gets trashed and I prefer to send it in. Just looking for an economical option that won't trash my chains or get them stolen/ lost . . .
Where are you at in WA?
