Thank you kindly for your video. Excellent information on how to use the tool to sharpen a chainsaw chain. I liked and subscribed. Will be ordering the tools you demonstrated. Thank you again, sir. Great tips!
Better video than that on the Granberg website. The black knob with the spring is for setting the filing stop to, in theory, ensure cutters are consistent length.
Thank you - I have had this now for a long time and it is a handy tool to have because up till i got this sharpener my blade sharpening was not very good.
@@GreenEarth140 I agree with you - my sharpening was not good at all and i tried a few different methods without making it factory sharp and then i came across this handy jig - now i can get it that sharp and it does not take any time at all to do.
I watched this once or twice and thought I had it... I missed the part about the Y axis. Sharpened my blades at 10 degrees instead of zero. also did not set the depth correctly. Upon second viewing, I see my mistakes and will stop cussing at the screen. Thank you Sir for your instructional video!
The black plastic knob at 7:05 is actually really important, it's not an agle thing, it's the stop and insures all your cutters are the same size at the end. You find your shortest cutter using a caliper and sharpen that one first, then you screw the stop into place to where its hitting the bar to lock in that length which will insure every cutter after will be properly sharpened and also stop sharpening at that same spot. If you have a cutter that is unusually shorter than the rest, ie., maybe it was chipped, you might wanna sharpen it but not use that as the reference length for the stop and use the next shortest so you're not filing off a lot more than needed on the other links. Personally, I haven't sharpened any of my chains with anything but the Granberg file so I don't bother looking for a shortie, the links have pretty even wear, so I just pick a random one, sharpen to wear it needs be, and set the stop for the rest.
