Professional Compact 120-Volt Bench Grinder, Universal Saw Chain Sharpener, for All Chainsaw Chains (410-120)

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.

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

I have been living in a forest, and using firewood here in MT, for 17 years. I enjoy cutting my own logs into rounds, splitting them, stacking them, and burning them. I was aware of chain saws before this, but by no means an expert. About 15 years ago, I bought a Harbor Freight grinder/sharpener, for probably $40. It was 'ok' for setting the edge of the cutters, but not much else. It is also fairly loose, so every grind isn't the same as the next. I mostly used a Dremel with grinding bits to 'touch up' the cutters. I finally broke down and got this grinder. I knew it was recognized as the best in the business, but didn't want to spend almost $300. Well, it is on sale now for $200. I made the choice and ordered it. It came today. Took me about 45 minutes to make a stand and get it set up. The instructions are 'ok', but I was confused how things 'moved' at first. Got it figured out. Setup for the angles is simple, just follow the chart. After setting it up, I began to grind the chain I had been using. After the first cutter, I was shocked at the difference in the cutting edges. I had been nowhere close to the right angles. It took a lot off the cutters, since things were so messed up, but that will change with subsequent sharpenings. I haven't set the rakers yet, that will be tomorrow, but I already know they are close. Took the sharpened chain out with my Husky Rancher and tried a log. It practically fell through the wood. I feel I was using half the pressure to guide the bar, and without timing before and after, I also feel it cut 40% faster. The difference in chips was obvious, as the new chips were sitting on top of the 'sawdust' I had been making before. This is a quality product, at a good price now, and well worth the expense. I just wish I had ordered it before I did the first 2 of 6 cords I need to cut for winter. The next 4 will go much quicker.

Setting up this sharpener may require some patience, but the results are worth it. Unlike hand filing or Dremel sharpening stones, it offers a much faster and less tiring sharpening experience. While not as precise as high-end models like Timberline, it still does a commendable job once you get the hang of it. Just remember to inspect each tooth as you sharpen to ensure a clean and sharp finish. With a bit of practice, this sharpener becomes a valuable tool in your maintenance routine. Highly recommend for its efficiency and time-saving benefits.

This chainsaw grinder works excellent! Great product

I've had cheap sharpeners, they work for a while sort of. After using this, night and day. Much more accurate and consistent sharpening, my chains cut longer before needing resharpening. Simple to use. Expensive but worth it. Especially if you sharpen chains alot.

Had no idea how poorly a job I was doing sharpening my chains manually with files until I started using this. All my saws cut noticeably better now. This is also a lot quicker than messing with files. Pop the chain off the saw, adjust the grinder and then you just run an assembly line on it; super quick consistent results. I debated getting a harbor freight grinder for $30 but decided to splurge on this and happy I did. One of the reasons was the clamp mechanism that holds the chain in place seemed a lot more sturdy on this unit, but seemed super inconsistent and floppy on harbor freight unit. If the hold on the chain is not tight and consistent from cutter to cutter you're going to get poor results. The adjustment manual gives clear directions and is easy to follow for all types of oregon chain. The one thing which could be improved is the means by which you need to remove the the red plastic shield when switching between grinding wheels. You have to unscrew two phillips head and screws, I have a number of saws with different chain sizes and have to switch between wheels often, would be a lot more convenient to have some sort of quick locking mechanism rather than having to use a screwdriver constantly, and i fear at some point the threading in the red plastic piece will be stripped out after continual use

Works perfectly. Accurate sharpening when adjusted properly.
