That looks basically like the harbor freight sharpener, but battery powered. That is the best running poulan I think I've ever heard! I have never had much luck getting poulans to run well. If you did some vids on your techniques for tuning and repairing poulans you'd be keeping thousands of them from ending up in the landfill! Thanks for all your vids!
I run 24 or 28 inch bars, and I've learned that if I go from my ⁷32nd file, I have to take a while getting my gullet brought back. I'm not doing it again, but those grinders are my go-to for .325 chains. Like Smitty said, home owner who needs a branch or 2 cleared. Most homeowners call someone to cut down a tree.
seems to work good i have the cheap harbor freight i think its a Chicago one been using it for 5 years definitely like that it has 2 battery's and you could rig something up on the back of your tail gate i just clamp harbor freight down with a c clamp to a chair in the house and always sharpen 3 chains because i always take at least 2 saws in the woods and like to have back up chain just in case im definitely not a hand file guy i use to use a dremal but when i started use a grinder i notice chain for me gets sharper and my chains life spand seems probly 3 times longer
Thanks Smitty !! Thats nice & affordable too , I bought an El Cheapo looks pretty close , but its electric off ebay for 20 bucks & shipping , ,my first , you have cleared up as what wheels to use for the different size chain , Thank Ya Sir !!
Looks to work out of the box fine and thats good. But batteries may have a short life and / or that body does not look robust. I'm sure hot days or colds days, will affect the batteries. But new novelty tools can be fun, sometimes.
I have the 110 volt version of this grinder. It works fine if you take your time does a better job than I do hand filling. I upgraded to the knockoff of the Oregon 510 simply so I can play with the angles more.
I just bought one and used the discount code thank you Smitty waiting on it to come in. Whew is the best place to get the bigger grinder wheel for the 3/8 50 chain at. Thank you
My first saw was a Poulan like yours but older all green , not a speck of plastic or soy boy safwty crap , Ran perfectly for 40 years ,the frame died of metal fatigue . But the motor was near as good as new ! sadly missed

What about the 10°tilt? How could one make up for it?

What i know with new batteries you want to fully charge them before use! Looks like a decent little grinder! Reminds me of my HF grinder but battery!
Looks like a good tool, thanks for sharing

Thanks
3/16" files are for .325" pitch chains, & 7/32" files are for 3/8" pitch chains. Are grinders different?
Not to bad for cordless at all! Be nice in the field as well.
These r on sale for 15 or 20 at rko for the 110v version
What’s RKO ?
It could be handy in truck when going do wood if dont want hand file .
Nice Thanks for that...

I know what you mean.
What's wrong with the $7 file?
Yeah, what's wrong with a sawbuck and an axe? That's what I'm talking about!
Harbor freight grinder identical just batteries and it's $30 I bought one not worth it keep the Oregon grinder lol
Thing sounds like my nose hair trimmer...
I thought you would never stop talking and just get to the point
