Believe what they say about sharp saws

2008-05-27
You know how they always say that sharpening more than makes up for the time it takes? Believe it. I was on the steep side of the learning curve with my Stihl, and when I bought this sharpener- it turned the saw into a beast. Evidently, I had not been sharpening quite right. I've been using the Dremel attachment for about 5 years, after every 2-3 tanks of gas. The saw cuts faster, with less strain on the saw and on ME.

Remember to set the depth gauge.

If you own a Dremel- buy this thing. Remember eye protection :)

Great Product once you get it dialed in.

The sharpener works great once you get it setup. It wasnt clear in my chainsaws manual what size chain I had, so a bit of guess work was required... Also, if you have any different chuck on the dremel, the item wont fit... so make sure you have the original small chuck.

Once I got it on, it worked easily and quickly, the guide helping greatly to line up and sharpen correctly.

Amazing

i purchased this tool about 4 months ago and had no trouble at all getting super sharp chains on all 3 of my chainsaws. my brother in law took my advice and also bought it, but he had limited success. be sure to read all of the instructions to set up this guide for your specific chain size! this is very important! otherwise you will not have a properly sharpened chain. good luck and happy sawing!

Great tool!

Worth every penny. If you already have a dremel, you cannot find a more simple and cost effective sharpening tool. I've seen it locally for the same price. Oregon sells cheaper replacement stones (HD and Lowes) about 2 for $6.

My rotary tool is a Black & Decker, not a Dremel, but this little gem fits and works perfectly with it. My only challenge was that it was harder to understand the set up instructions than it was to set up the tool. I had never sharpened a chainsaw before and had no idea how the tool would function until I finished the set up. Then it was clear. Advice: Read the set up instructions and follow them carefully. Setting up the tool is easy, once you see what the instructions intend. The job of sharpening the saw then goes quickly and easily. Wear gloves and eye protection.

This thing rocks!

I am adept at sharpening saw chains with a file and a drop gauge, but severe damage due to nicking an embedded piece of barbed wire or a nail meant that the chain had to go to the local sharpening shop for a $9.00 sharpening job.

After dulling a brand new chain on some deeply embedded barbed wire, I started to look into power sharpeners. When I saw the Dremel sharpener for less than the price of one shop sharpening job, I figured it was worth a try.

All I can say is: don't even think of using your finger tip to check the sharpness of a newly sharpened tooth after using the Dremel attachment. You will cut yourself! It does a far better job than the shop I pay to sharpen my chains. You cannot go wrong here....

Great tool

My brother-in-law had one of these and after he showed me how easy it was to use, I went out and bought a Dremel tool and this attachment. This tool makes it very easy to always have a sharp chain. It only takes about 5 minutes to do a quick touch-up or about 15 to do a more thorough sharpening. The results are at least as good if not better than what I was getting by taking my chain to the dealer for sharpening, and now I don't have to wait a couple days to have it done.

It works...

My chainsaw is sharp once again, so I'd say it works without killing me too badly to do it. Pretty quick and easy actually. Ahhh... now the fun part, cutting down trees, loading them, splitting them, stacking them, burning them...
