The Stump Vise allows you to secure the bar of the saw so you have BOTH HANDS free to do the sharpening. Grasp one end of the file with your right hand, and at the same time grasp the other end of the file with your left hand. Now, use both hands to sharpen the chain, by dragging the file across the tooth in one direction from the short side of the tooth to the long side of the tooth(the long side is the side with the point on it, it's longer on that side). I like the Stump Vise, BTW, it does exactly what it's designed to do in the simplest way possible.
Well, you just taught me something I did not Know. Will pick up one of these next time I am in the Chainsaw Isle. Thank you for taking the time to post. 😀
Mark, it is a mark of real integrity to admit mistakes. Lord knows I've made them all. Otherwise I applaud you doing a video that will help others learn.
Great video! Thank you sir! I wish people could appreciate that people are trying to help others by making videos . They are way too critical! I appreciate your help. God bless you sir
If you use one hand to file you do not need a vise. I had to do that today when I threw out an old work bench that had a vise on it. Kept the vise. Have not used the chainsaw in a few years and a giant ash tree came down. My one arm sharpening resulted in some very crooked cutting. I may order that stump vise.
Thanks. Next time do not shoot your video with backlighting unless you adjust the aperture on your video camera. The trees, shudder and siding are easy to see. You are in the dark.
Really? If y’all are so good at making videos and know so much then why are you even watching this? Just appreciate the fact that he’s trying to help others. No one on here is a professional. Just everyday folks just looking for a little friendly advice. God bless you all
Space and time actually stopped immediately when the video cut and that tree is still there to this day with him squatting in front of it. It's actually a wonder how we got the footage.
This is definitely NOT the proper way to file a chainsaw chain, at least if you want it to last and cut properly. It's a great way to get nicks and burs on your teeth, which means it'll cut like junk. Always file each tooth in 1 direction, an even number of passes per tooth.
What are you doing to your poor file? They are meant to cut in One Direction, dragging it back and forth will ruin it... guess I should read more comments before commenting myself, apparently you've been edumicated ;>)

Lol, yes! I'm thankful for the community here taking the time to make sure I get it right.

Glad to help. It's a small, but invaluable tool.
Northern tool has same exact one for $9.00 dollars. Thanks for taking your time to review for all of us.
Oh cool, I'll have to check it out.
file only goes one way....
That makes sense, thanks for the advice!
Pained me to hear that file running the wrong way across the teeth.
Yes, I understand what I did wrong in sharpening. You live and learn.

Thanks, man! I appreciate it!
Took forever but finally got to the point after 4:30. Thank you
This is one of my older videos. I think I do better job of that now, lol! I hope anyways.
Great video! Thank you sir! I wish people could appreciate that people are trying to help others by making videos . They are way too critical! I appreciate your help. God bless you sir
Thank you, I appreciate that! This stump vise is handy when you're out in the woods.
Thank you for this informative video!
Thanks for the feedback!

It's small and compact, perfect for touching up your chain in the field. It will pay for itself the first time.
Forester has a really bright orange one on amazon for 10 bucks
Only diff. Is it has a thick plastic turn knob vs the all metal here
I've tried some Forester products, but not the stump vise. I'm sounds like a good deal.
Thanks. Next time do not shoot your video with backlighting unless you adjust the aperture on your video camera. The trees, shudder and siding are easy to see. You are in the dark.
Thanks for the advice! I'm upgrading to a new camera that has more settings.

douchebag
There are many videos on how to use a file . You should watch a few before sharpening your chain.
Yes, I've learned a lot after making this video. The stump vice is still going strong.
I paid for the same one on Amazon with shipping under $9.00
These are great out in the field.
Nice video mate, but learn how to sharpen your chain properly, makes a world of difference
Thanks for the tip
the visor says it all
Just bought that little shit on Temu. Looks like the exact same one. 8.5€
I don't wht brnd, but he just convinced me to buy it
One thing about logging, it's nice to take a break once in awhile and sharpen your chain. This makes it a breeze.
Use scissors to open it
buy a sthil 2-1 file shsrpener bit dear but well worth the dough
Cheaper to sharpen it yourself then to take it in. Thanks, I'll have to check them out.
Not even close to how u sharpen a chain i cant do it by hand but even i know thats not how u do it
You should really fell that tree to the ground before walking away form it. Otherwise great video.

Yeah, I was mainly trying to show off the cool stump vise gadget. I've learned my ways about sharpening, lol.
