I'll have to be honest...Chainsaw sharpening is an art that I never fully mastered. I would use my handheld file to whittle away at the teeth, and the saw would cut better than it had before. But almost never was I able to get the chain in factory sharp condition.
Can you relate to that?
It seems that most things on the homestead take time, technique, and tools to do them well. And I don't often find a solution that is so simple that virtually anyone could do it with little practice. But I think I have found that very thing in a chainsaw sharpener. Seriously!
The Stihl 2-in-1 Chainsaw Sharpener
If you would like to know my new "secret weapon" for sharpening a chainsaw like a pro, here it is:
It's that simple! You can find the Stihl 2-in-1 chainsaw sharpener at a local Stihl dealer or online here.
So I've got a question for you...
I like this sharpener...need one!
Great. Always looked for a better sharpener.
Just got one been getting 8-9 blades sharpened every month so going to give it a try.
This is the best sharpener that I have used. It does a very nice job of sharpening both faces of the cutter, and also keeping the raker at the proper height.
These sharpeners are actually made by a company called Pferd, rebranded for Stihl. Look for Pferds if you can't find the Stihl ones.
