Works wayt better than by hand!
Very easy to set up and use. Makes sharpening chains a pleasurable experience.

Well worth the money
I should have saved all the wasted money on tedious/inaccurate ârat tailâ files, hand cranked sharpeners, bits, electric grinders, etc. etc. and bought this FIRST! It grinds perfectly accurate, consistently razor sharp chains in minutes rather than 1/2 hour or more per chain. If you do a lot of sawing, this will pay for itself in the first 4-5 times you use it. Mount it on a sturdy pedestal and your saw chain worries are over! It has quickly become one of my most prized tools in my workshop. HIGHLY recommend!

Great product and great customer support
Received quickly, however, 2 of the wheels were broken inside the box. I emailed Oregon and they did reply in a timely fashion, 1 business day and quickly sent me a new set of all 3 wheels. Great customer service!
Setting up the tool was easy and I was soon sharpening chains.
Old chains are now sharper than brand new ones.
I found actually reading the manual FIRST to be a good idea as it made it all easier. Instruction clear and easy to follow.
Definitely recommend this

A good sharpener for the price.
Let me begin by saying that I am just a typical homeowner that heats my house with wood and I cut multiple cords a year. I enjoy firewood cutting and running chainsaws and through the years have used about every sharpening tool available. I finally decided I needed to step up to the Oregon grinder after a long bout with files, rotary tools and hand cutters(Timberline). When the Oregon Bench Grinder arrived, I mounted it on my bench and proceeded to adjust it according to the instructions. What I found was that the grinding wheels are wider than their advertised size. This resulted in reforming the cutting profile on the cutter tooth and removing a lot of metal in the process. The other problem was the chain guide. This particular model has a cheap guide made of two parallel rails that pinch together in the middle. The distance between the rails is so wide that the the chain flops around. When the handle is rotated to pinch the chain in place, it only pinches in the middle at a small point. The issue was that the chain would cant when the rails were pinched. This made it impossible to get even results on both rows of cutters. I ended up taking the mounting bolts out and filing down the blades that separate the two rails so they were much narrower and held the chain better. This solved the canting problem and now holds the chain in a solid vertical position while sharpening. The other problem with this kind of grinder is that the wheel only spins in one direction. For the left side cutters, the grinding wheel leaves a large burr which affects the cutting action of the saw. I have watched youtube videos of others who have this problem. One solution was to spin the grinding wheel in reverse with a drill and then switch the motor on which then ran the wheel in the reversed direction for the left side cutters. ( I haven’t dared try this yet). My last fix was to use a grinding wheel one size smaller than normal which gave me the ability to more accurately adjust to the contour of the cutting tooth. The grinder has a couple of adjustment “bump stops” to restrain how far the grinding wheel cuts into the cutter tooth, however, there is a lot of flex in the adjustments and great care must be taken to keep all the teeth sharpened equally. Conclusion: Yes, this grinder works. It is much quicker than other methods. However it isn’t perfect and requires some careful adjustments and attention to detail in order to make it sharpen a chain with satisfactory results. Yes, it can sharpen a chain, but don’t expect to have new chain like sharpness without a lot of time invested in adjustments and technique.

Well made tool; yields much better results than i get manually filing
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

Good Choice
I bought this last year but hadn’t had a chance to test it out.
After sharpening dozens of chains, it works perfectly and does an excellent job!
Definitely worth the few extra $$ for made in the USA.

Well worth it
I had an old Harbor Freight chain saw sharpener for years but it just didn’t get the chains sharp. So I bought one of these and it has been great, probably sharpened 30 chains and it REALLY gets them sharp, just make sure you the right angles for the two adjustments you can make, we’ll worth the extra money, wish I would bought it 10 years ago.

Chain Saw Chain Sharpener.
Expensive when compared to knockoffs. Bug well made and will last a lot longer. Worth the money.

Overall a great little machine. A few light duty points but for the price it is great. My set up needs to be bench mounted, not wall mounted, yet portable. In my opinion the casting and mounting holes for bench mounting are lightweight, it makes me nervous that it could crack the casting if bumped hard. So I mounted it on a board with a vertical board as well to simulate the wall mount and no more concern. Also, the depth stop doesn’t make a full contact to the motor, it kind of touches an edge of the adjusting knob, it works though but I thought it could have lined up in a more positive way. Lastly, to change the stones you have to remove the guard, which is understandable. However the guard is plastic and I can see that the screw holes will likely wear out over time. I know more expensive Oregon models have a hole in the centre of the guard for accessing the mounting nut so the guard doesn’t have to be removed, I’m considering to drill a hole to do this as well. So my comments shouldn’t be construed as reasons not to purchase, just my observations. My first few chains that I sharpened came out great and cut so nice. The biggest challenge is understanding chains in general, i.e. the differences between chisel and chip and low profile chains and which need a 10 degree down angle and which don’t… Nonetheless I recommend this grinder, it is good value.

Iâve hand sharpened my chains for over 40 years and Iâm 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 couldnât 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 wasnât spending all my time sharpening and not cutting. Wish I had bought this years ago. Just a tip for new users. Donât just push down and grind. Do light taps with the grinder so you donât heat the chain tooth. If you turn it blue it got too hot.

Easy to set up and use. Used for regular chain and ripping chain. Have to read the manual a couple times to make sure you are doing it right but no issues so far.

Works great on all sizes of chain. Itâs a bit of a learning curve but once you catch on itâs great.
