    Re. Sharpening chainsaws.

    Over the years I tried a variety of files & jigs, but always seemed to end up with blunt chains to take to the local sharpening place to get done. Then I bought one of those bench grinders, a cheap ebay version of what the sharpening place used & never looked back. It is easy to get through chains quickly but once a ‘’brief & light touch technique’ has been learned they are great.
    Had mine for a number of years now & have never been without a sharp chain since getting it, & I used to cut a lot of firewood at our last place.

    This looks very similar to mine but has an improved clamping arrangement.
