On Chain Saw Sharpening and Sharpeners

[Johnny Yooper]

sorry, can't help with all the sharpening machines that are out there. Guess I'm old school like some others out there: first day out with my dad that he let me use the chainsaw I put the bar in the dirt within 5 minutes.....he came over and taught me how to hand sharpen with a file; he used to log back in the 50's so I figured I'd better pay attention. Glad I did. That was over 38 years ago and I'm still hand sharpening. Some years ago I tried one of those Dremel outfits.......less than one minute I was back to hand filing; threw that gadget away so my dad wouldn't see it my shop. Funny thing, years ago my dad said he even sharpens new chain before he puts it on the saw, and I said "really??" and he said "cuts ahelluva lot better".

That reminds me...without doing a search, who made that fancy bench vise for saw sharpening??...maybe Mr. Laird?

Search "chain vise."
