True Butch it does .. why I actually checked it out at all. I could be old school here, lotsa people love the little 12V w/ carbides. Just not my thing I guess. Once I FINALLY got good at hand file , stickin with it
 
Interesting. I'd like to hear some user reviews on it. It's little bit on the pricey side, and you still have to go back and take down the rakers. But if it does a good job I could be interested. I'm not so great at sharpening.
 
It appears that the carbide always sits in the same spot in relation to the cutter, only differences in bar thickness would give a minutely different position. I think it would wear quick.
 
What happened to the Gamm? Wasn't it plastic? I remember reading I think it was a Mother Earth News write up on the Gamm. The only fault they found was it was easy to take too much off.

Rocked out chains come to mind if it really takes them down fast and the $20 carbide bits hold up.

I always use a guide, just the flat one that comes in the standard Stihl kit, and I am pretty good at sharpening. If this thing works as well as they say it does it would be worth it. Definitely pricy but if it works it might be worth it. I won't be the first tester....

Rake handle?


EDIT: Nevermind, I think you mean raker file. For some reason I was thinking of a leaf rake. :|:

No they mean rake handle.
I was thinking it might be a good tool for rocked out chains but then again I have backups on the job and grind them at the shop.
 
I would think the opposite about the rocked chains.
First, they need a big amount of removal.
Second, the first strikes with a file are the hardest due to the rolled edge. I think that the carbide bit has a good possibility to jam behind it and do a bad work, pulling and pushing up the tooth, instead of shaving it. It's risky for the sharp edge of the carbide bit too, dents are easy with these hard but fragile tools.
 
Yes, rake handle.
Just a small length of it actually, to hold the file instead of the commercial files handles in wood or plastic.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was quite confused, couldn't picture how a rake handle could be used to sharpen a chain. :|:
 
You got it Marc, it came up in this thread https://www.masterblasterhome.com/s...n-saw-chain/page21&highlight=cut+rake+handles

Maybe I'm a cheapskate but I just keep broken rake handles and cut & drill them.

Not sure of the sharpener but the top saw tool, well it has potential but I have found that the tools inside are to short making you have to re insert . Pita= my.02
