How to Sharpen Chain Saw Chains, Oregon Chainsaw Sharpening Guide

I wonder why they don't mention the tilting of the saw chain holder to one side and then another to grind first the left and then the right side teeth? On my sharpener (which is identical to this one) There are three "tilt" settings -- zero tilt and ten degrees left and right. Other than that I suppose this video is accurate. I think that they make the dressing of the depth gauges a little more complicated than is necessary. Thanks for posting this vid!

I have a 308 Foley sharpener. It does not have the 'tilt' how important is that? The Foley has forward/reverse motor, how important is that? I bought it 13 years ago at an auction for $50.00 and have sharpened 1,000's of chains for customers and my tree service. I'm thinking about buying the new Oregon speed sharp so I can sharpen carbide chain there's a few fire depts. that run them. Any thoughts on this?

the tilt is saw!lol, you can sharpen you can do sharpening faster,your answer to forward and reverse is that the foley can do opposite teeth,id cary on using the foley mate

price for this?

Are you serious? It seems it would be easier to do it with a file.

yeah same, maybe this is easier in the long run, for someone who does it all the time in a shop or somin

as a chainsaw mechanic i would love to see how he would set a depth gauges on the other side of the chain becouse oregon grinders only running one way....its a good sharpener but you need to modify that the wheel can spin both ways....sory for my bad english :D

That model is different than mine. See video IQPgLyFwFWM

I'm just going by the directions that came with my sharpener. I guess that's pretty funny. Not like "Oh my aching sides!" funny -- just sorta "Meh" funny. Maybe even "Golf Clap" funny. Actually, it's not really too funny. Guess you had to be there.

The tilting of the saw chain holder is only necessary for certain chains/saws. Your manual should have the chart.

Have to agree there

нафига когда точишь цепь подёргивать камнем в месте заточки?! просто взять да нажать слегка.

Where can I buy this Oregon Chainsaw Sharpening? I'm Brazil, you would have a link to any site that has marketed this product?

no way will it give pro result with pink wheels alos use the 10 degree feture on chesle chain

How do you stop the motor from moving so that I can put my grinding disk for the first time set up.

Thanks for posting. I just got this machine today and this helped clear up a few questions I had - mostly due to a poor user manual.

because they do not use a chain saw to make a living or to stay warm. toss that pink wheel in the trash can as it will make trash of your chains. Check out mine

...and don't mount the grinder to a wobbly upright pipe as seen on the video...

When you are in the middle of a forest in the rain where do you plug this set up in?

FUCK THIS !!!!

ebay?

ето чтобы цепь не горела...

Theyre mainly meant for shops that make a living at sharpening chains and fixing saws. I personally think hand filing would be quicker though

never go into the forest with one chain and one chainsaw. You also need a buddy

wow... the grinding wheel on this machine is exactly what we have.

I bought the same grinder with someone else's name on it and the lever that tightens the vise came lose after half a chain! I paid 140 bucks for a tool I had to fix myself!

No mention of the 'down angle' and which was is correct ?  All my chains need 10 degrees but how to set correctly ??

i bought this and works for shit,you get 8 cuts and its dull, neighbor down street same shit

That is a nice tool, but when needing to sharpen your saw in the field, you don't have time to go back to the shop to sharpen the chain. With files in the field with you, the same thing can be done by hand.

the only video which say about the shape of thegrinding wheel! welldone!

I bought one it's a waste of money I'd rather use the round and the flat file way better.and more fun to do it this way while I enjoy a cup of coffee.

Nice clear video, a bit too quick perhaps, but covers all the points. Interesting that it recommends a separate profile for trimming the depth gauges, but logical

What should you do of your chainsaw seized up.someone forgot to mix has and oil on one side.

Use new 2 and 1 tool grinding wheel too time consuming

I just bought one from a guy, that had only been used a couple of times and only paid $20 for it. I did not come with a manual, template or shaping stone, with only one sharpening disc. This video gave me everything to start sharpening my collection of dull chains. Thank you!

This video is exactly why I need to just use a file... the machine will leave burrs behind and you still need a file to clean it up...

Great video, we can finally setup our oregon grinder properly and start using it.

Thanks so much! 😉👍

makes it sharp

I'm running this and diamond wheels. Stone holds the heat and diamond draws the heat.
