Thanks dear friends, I have organised a triple lobotomy with my local vet for next week, put up with me until then.

Just got a chainsaw chain grinder. Had a few chains destroyed by hitting hidden nails and rocks inside trees and figured I'd have a crack at repairing them with this.
Completely destroyed the first chain, sort of destroyed the second and did a good job on the third. Was only cheap, just under $100 delivered from Edisons.

I have the same unit. I find it works well but I still give the chain a quick touch up with a file when I fill up.
Problem with filing is that you can’t do exactly the same movement left and right so I run the chain on the machine when it starts to not cut straight.

I have only ever used a file and have gotten pretty good at it. Will continue to do that exclusively until a chain gets rocked out and the grinder will be for repair work.
If I repair 3 chains then the machine will have paid for itself.
Next time I need to buy new chains I will buy a roll of Stihl chain and a spinner/breaker.

Yeah wow that's cheap! Just make sure you are using the correct size disc for your chain.

I don't use my chainsaw very often, I've got two chains when one is stuffed I'll drop it off and $12 later it Sharpe.

Here is my trusty chain sharpener, had it 25 yrs, invaluable to have, simply stack all the chains up and sharpen the lot at the one time, i have 3 different size chains, however the same wheel is used for all of them, I am going to buy a diamond disk so i can do a carbide tipped chain i have as well.Attachment 82269

I just use a rat tail file on my chains. I watched Rossco do it a few times and thought to give it a crack myself. Got it down pretty good now.
