Oregon 410-120 Bench or Wall Mounted Saw Chain Grinder, red

I’ve hand sharpened my chains for over 40 years and I’m pretty good at it. But on one job I hit some imbedded nails in the trees and went through 4 chains. They were bad enough that I knew it was major time to file them out. I bought the Oregon Sharpener and couldn’t be happier. Took me about 20 minutes to get it set up. I experimented on one chain to get the setting perfect and then away I went. The grind is super nice and exact. The saws are taking out chunks of wood which really tells the story of how sharp they are. And the best part is I wasn’t spending all my time sharpening and not cutting. Wish I had bought this years ago. Just a tip for new users. Don’t just push down and grind. Do light taps with the grinder so you don’t heat the chain tooth. If you turn it blue it got too hot.

I used to work in a saw shop and this unit works like the old ones 20 years ago did and does a very good job. Very pleased with this model.

Es muy bueno y silencioso no me ha fallado para nada.

Our chains are now sharp and make our chainsaw work that much more efficient and less frustrating. On the negative side, setting the angles is guess work. There are no notches at the common angles such as 25 or 30 degrees. You need to eyeball it using the degree label on the front. This model is absolutely made for the occasional sharpener. While I have not tried the more expensive models, don't stinge on the quality when purchasing.

First off I just want to say that I’ve tried the buffalo tools the Chicago electric and the trupower sharpeners and all of them will only do one type of chain the micro chisel chain so after much frustration mostly on my part thinking I’d get a decent sharpener for under a hundred bucks I was so wrong I cut and split at least 10 to 12 cords of wood every year for use in heating my home so I use several different saws and chains ranging from 12” to 36” chains from micro chisel to 7/16” ripping chains at various pitches and finally I decided to go with a name brand sharpener yes it’s a little pricey but you get a lot for the money the other ones I’ve tried were mostly plastic this one is aluminum only 3 plastic parts and those are the knobs to turn to adjust to the chain being sharpened it comes with 3 different grinding wheels it takes a little getting used to everything that this sharpener does but after reading the manual and bolting the unit to my homemade stand I was up and running I’ve got a lot of chains laying around due to high prices of chains especially the 36” chains I sharpened 21 chains in an hour then changed grinding wheel and sharpened a few 7/16” chipper chains with a wheel change and angle adjustments I was up and running in under 10 minutes this is an awesome product I can’t believe I wasted so much time and money on the cheaper ones if you own a small engine shop like me and cut a lot of firewood or if you just want to sharpen chains for yourself to have extras on hand no matter what the reason is I definitely suggest this grinder it’s a name brand that’s been around for years and it’s well worth the money in no way was I paid to give a review I just purchased this item and got it delivered to my door in one day I absolutely love this sharpener I’ll be buying another one in the near future just to keep one type of wheel on it for my a few of my chains and for the arborist companies that I have for customers and it’s worth saving your pennies for a good sharpener
