Oregon 23736A Professional Bar Mounted Chainsaw Filing Guide

very very good once I worked out how to set it up

Takes sometime to work out how to use....once done seems ok. Only time will tell. Quick delivery.

Once set up will produce excellent results but it is fiddly to mount on bar without the jig moving as you tighten main clamp. The one I receive had the turret head mounted 180 degree out and so a perplexing ten minutes trying work out what wasn't right!The jig has a "acorn stop"to limit amount filed, achieving consistent teeth size BUT the jig is a not very rigid twists enough to over file.In summary, follow the instruction "pictures" to the letter, take time to ensure the body of jig is correctly set up, don't force it and if doesn't seem right-be prepared to disassemble!

Screws D & E Not in Box

I am not sure that this is Oregan but more of Oregan type as it is made in China. It looks cheap and is fiddly to set up. It does the job but time will tell whether it was a wise purchase or not.

Does what it says on the tin.

Very difficult to set up and align, once in place it tends to slip off the and leave thumb scew markson the bar. Too many bits to adjust it could be made more simpler and efficient.

Makes sharpening the chain a doddle, no more guesswork with a file and angle guide, set up very simple, did the whole chain in a very short time (on the saw)

The media could not be loaded. Je déconseille très fortement ce produit parce que la partie supérieure et dans un matériau plastique ou similaire. La partie inférieure est en métal et de bonne qualité mise à part que les visses sont petites et difficile à serrer.Le problème réside dans la partie supérieure :Elles ne coulisse pas facilement dans cette partie plastique supérieure malgré tout l’huile qui a été mis et du coup dérègle complètement les degrés nous empêchant de travailler vite et bien.Le système de réglage des degrés contient également un petit boulon rond qui est difficile à serrer.Le système est ingénieux mais les matériaux pour les degré supérieur et de coulissement sont de trop mauvaise qualité

Buen sistema para afilar las cadenas a mano comodamente, asi dura mas la cadena y no se desgasta tan pronto como cuando se afila con un afilador electrico, lo recomiendo.

Ottimo prodotto, in 5 minuti ho affilato la catena della mia motosega per potatura con una precisione e costanza impossibili da riprodurre a mano; settaggio iniziale un po noioso ma poi una volta impostato è un piacere affilare.

I had purchased a Granberg Bar-Mount Chain Saw Sharpener, Model# G-106B that did not work smoothly and broke when tightening up the screw to hold the file in place. Cheap pot metal. Northern Tool promptly sent a refund for the whole amount including shipping, so kudos to them for that.I then ordered the Oregon 23736A Professional Chain Saw Bar-Mount Filing Guide. Now this is an excellent unit!! I did have to do a few minor things to make it work well however. I ground the set screw that clamps the unit to the bar so that it has a round ball shape on the end of it. Now it does not try to move around as you tighten it.After having done that, it still tried to slip on the bar when the set screw was tightened. To fix that I also applied two ¼" x 1" pieces of adhesive backed non-skid material to the 2 contact spots of the same size on the opposite side of the sharpener. I imagine you could glue some medium/coarse sand paper on those 2 places for the same effect. Now it does not take much pressure for the set screw to hold the unit firmly in place on the chain saw bar while using it.One other issue I had is that I could not get the angle indicators to line up when I turned it from one side to the other. Turns out the handle had come positioned on the wrong side of the unit as shipped. If you have never used one of these before, that would be very confusing if you assumed they were supposed to be positioned where there were from the factory.I then put some synthetic motor oil on the units round bar that slides and on the pad in the middle under the bar. Smooth!!Another thing I did that has nothing to do with the File Guide itself is to take a small bar clamp and clamp it to the chain saw bar with the bar of the clamp laying on the bench, and the bar of the clamp pointing in the direction you are filing. It really keeps the saw from tipping as you file it.This works so nicely now and I am very happy with it. I suppose it could have come with all these things honed out, but I don't mind making improvements on things so they work really well. I get a lot of satisfaction from that.I highly recommend this tool, especially with these modifications.

très difficile à ajuster même une fois ajuster il ne fonctionne tout simplement pas je l’ai jeté à la poubelle
