You’re a natural instructor/teacher! I literally can’t say anything negative about this video. Not too short, not too long. No fillers but nothing left out. Great job and thank you!
I have had the earlier model of this sharpener for 10 years. I have sharpened many chains and I am still on my first wheel. It does a wonderful job and is easy to use. People complain about having to remove the chain to sharpen but it only takes an additional minute and gives me a chance to clean the debris from the chain guide on the bar and the oil feed holes.
The more times you sharpen a chain, the longer/taller the rakers get. Eventually you have to file the rakers. You might include checking raker height and filing as an update.
This video was exactly what I wanted to see, thank you for taking the time to film it and put it out there. I just bought this sharpener and now I don't have to waste any time figuring out how to set it up and use it; I can get straight to sharpening my chains.
My mistake was the back adjustment for height/depth. It seems that most of it is common sense but it's still nice to go step by step. So many 'training' videos skip past the basics that some of us fail to see or get stuck on. Thank you.
I just bought one - works very well and very easily. Once you got it set up - you're good to go. It's not a precision made instrument, but it gets the job done..
Very well-made video. The close-ups really help. Most instructive. Thank you. It depends a lot on the season but this summer used my chainsaws just about every day
I have the older (orange) model. I noted how the chain moves when you squeeze the lock handle. This appears to make the system grind too much off of the chain. I rarely throw that many sparks when I sharpen. Unless I hit a rock or metal I only graze the chain enough to basically hone the chain and not sharpen it. I also believe that grinding too much too fast will alter the metal and its temper and perhaps soften it making the chain go dull faster. This method seems to have worked extremely well over the past 15 years of ownership. It is a great and cheap way of keeping my saws cutting properly.
Bought one at a discount (open box) two years ago and never used it. After watching your, very detailed and clear video, I’ve decided to get it out and mount it to my work bench. I’ve just started cutting firewood for my new wood furnace and I’m sure I’ll need it. Thanks very much for the info!👍
Thanks for sorting me out on how to use this machine. You provided detailed setup info I failed to get from other UA-cam sources. I primarily use my Stihl 251* for cutting 5 cord of firewood per year, and also for property maintenance and an occasional piece of chainsaw furniture.
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful! How do you like you stihl 251? Would you recommend it? I've done a review on EGO's lithium battery pole saw that I've been impressed with, but I'm always looking at options for a great chainsaw.
Ive used mine about a week and just wanted to confirm I was on the right track, and I sure am! Thank you for beig so clear, your instruction is just as easy yo follow as the tool is easy to use. It is a game changer
Great video! I would think you would want to set the angle, chain stop and depth stop adjustments with the lever engaged as when you squeeze the lever the chain moves a bit
The sharpener works like a charm! Never needed one till we moved a year ago to a wooded lot and it’s been used multiple times with a few chains. So easy to use. Just have to figure out how often to replace the wheel.
The video was very well done. Very good close-ups. Very well put together. My families been cutting wood for generations and some still call them tooth some call them blades. Don’t listen to the people that nitpick
Jeff, I really wish UA-cam gave us the opportunity to click on the Like Button up to ten times instead of just once. You would definitely get a 10! If you are not in a training department, you definitely should be. I don't think I have seen clearer or more organized instructions anywhere on UA-cam. This video is excellent. Thank You Sir!
Hey Jeff, Great job with the video. After watching it, there was nothing left to learn about the sharpener. The close ups were very helpful and the video was just the right length. Thanks!
I just picked this up. Have yet to use it yet but looks easy to use and will help me process Firewood alot faster as I won't have to wait on a shop to do them for me which takes a couple days to get em back. I cut wood everyday and run a MS391 and a MS271 farm boss. Also nice mower I got the same one.
Finally cleared off the old table and unboxed mine.... very instructive and attention to detail....now I just have to REMOUNT mine...I installed it to a 2x4 and mounted that to the table. I have a12' 8" Electric Pole Saw, a Ryobi 6' 10" Pole Saw, a Dewalt 12" Brushless, a Greenworks 16" and a Husqvarna 20" Ranch. It's been non stop for almost 2 years and I have about 10 chains to freshen up. Your little tech dude appeared at 8:17-8:18 I think....Thanx for helping me save money on my chains this year... I'm Dave... Brightest Blessings from Stonehaven Farm & Gun Range... McBean, Ga.

Thank you for making this, it really helped considering it's my first time. My only criticism is I wish it had contained the instructions for attaching the cable and setting up the blade mount. The manual actually has no information on this which obviously your aware of. Took me longer to get set up having to actually use my brains to figure it out while second guessing if it's actually correct. I think it would save people time. Overall it was a helpful video. One blade at a time, everybody.knows the rules " I give it a 7.8

Thank you so much! After i repaired the stop cable, it disconnected from the screw and gorilla gel super glue worked perfectly, this works great with your instructions. Very much appreciated! My chains are so sharp finally!
Thank you! I now know how to set up my grinding machine! Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video, it makes the interweb thingy an immensely useful resource!
Great video man! I got exactly what I cane here for! Your video was detailed correctly, not too much duration, you were straight to the point and your video was edited and filmed with all the desirable characteristics!!!! :D
If it’s time to sharpen the blade it’s probably time to clean all the sawdust debris out so taking the chain off instead of filing it while on the saw is not an inconvenience. Thanks for the video for those of us too lazy to read instructions!!
Great video on how to use the Harbor Freight chainsaw sharpener! Informative, good tips & well presented! You helped me make up my mind in buying it after all!. Thank you Jeff! God bless.
Are used to heat my house with wood. I took the word for about seven years. Needless to say I went through many chains. I always paid somebody to sharpen my chains. It’s been about five years since. I got my chainsaw the other day to cut down some mailbox posts. My first cut I had a nail And doubled the blade. I have a sharpener like yours but I’ve never used it before. That’s why I was checking out your video, so I can sharpen my own chain.
Regarding the work surface mounting setback, I don't know about older models but the one I just bought for myself (after having relied on someone else's for a while) has mounting stops molded on the underside of the base. You just slide the base back onto the work surface until the stops hit the edge, then mark and drill your mounting holes.
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
Jeff thank you very much for the video. You provided a very informative and educational video. I am planning on buying the EGO pole saw to ad to my EGO collection.
You are welcome! Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad the video was informative and helpful! The pole saw is great, I've been very happy with EGO products. I've done reviews on several of their products on my channel including the pole saw. Be sure to check them out!
Thank you for going to the effort of making this video! I found it very helpful since I just purchased one of these chainsaw chain sharpeners from HF! BTW: Saw the little robot guy between 8:17 and 8:19 :-)

Seems like an awful lot of work for each tooth, I use a 24" bar on my Husqvarna 562xp and also my 576xp, takes me about 3-5min with each saw to have them fully sharp ready to go by hand. including bringing the rakers down. The video was super detailed and you did an excellent job showing every feature and I'm glad I found the video. It ultimately made up my mind that for me being a business owner of a small residential tree service company it just wouldn't make sense for me time wise to use one of these except maybe on the weekends just to kill some time out in the shop and relax. I'm only 28 but I'm old school and you can really dial in your chain by using a hand round file for the blade and a flat file for the rakers. Great video though, thank you for informative and detailed
@@curve5746 I'll have to find someone local to me who uses one and get their opinion on it and have them show me. I like the idea of it but I'm just not sure it's completely practical for my situation. I'll look into it a little deeper though and give it a shot if you guys say it's worth it. Thanks for the input
Great video-thanks. Regarding the front overhang of the mount: yes, you need enough room horizontally (and vertically) to manipulate the vise rail adjustment knob, and you also need enough of a forward overhang that the chain hangs freely below the rail so the chain will stay engaged in the rail when turning the chain advance knob(s). Why did you position the caliper handle so it's operated with your thumb? Seems awkward to me. Regarding faster than a hand file: a typical hand file jig allows you to leave the chain installed on the saw using its bar to control and maintain its sharpening position. The ability to leave the chain installed on the saw is a big time saver. If you consider the time involved in removing, reinstalling, and re-tensioning the chain, this handy electric sharpener isn't really faster than a hand file.
Not sure if you have a work bench to put your saw up on to take the chain off, but I do and it takes me less than 20 seconds to take the cover, bar and chain off on any of my 9 Stihl saws. I can sharpen a 20 inch 3/8 chain in under 2 mins. So that’s about 3 mins. I challenge anyone to try and beat 3 mins. Now. I’m a professional when it comes to Stihl saws and I understand most are not so I understand most everyone can’t take the cover, bar and chain off, put it back on while adjusting the chain tightness. The key to that is having you a work bench or something flat to take the chain off. I respect your opinion and I hope you respect mine as well.
Gotcha robot 🤖 lets re-boot to 8:17 if we could! But i guess i just might be 2 Years too late! But better late then never mate ! I'm just glad i came and played! I guess that makes me a playa mate! PLAYA PLAYA the chane saw wood slaya!!!!🙉🙊🙈😝😜😛

Does it sharpen both 5/32 and 7/32 teeth or do you need 2 wheel sizes?

Wonderful tutorial. Right to the point and easy to follow. I saw the little robot guy at 8:19-8:20.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Great video I've always wondered how to perform this simple yet extremely useful task. (8:17)

Greetings from North Texas
Hello there! Glad you enjoyed it!
told me everything i need to know, i think i will buy one thank you
Very great instruction video! Very thorough.
Thank you very much.
yes do did sir going to buy one
Do I need to then do the depth gauge filing after every sharpening? Also how many times should a chain be Redhat owned?
What about the rackers or depth gauges
10:46 pm on Nov. 9th, 2022 Neat video Thank you.
How do you adjust the rakers with the tool
Thank you so much for the instruction. I just bought the very same on.
8:17 seen the robot. Great information. Fixing to buy this to help keep my chains Sharp. Yes I have a you tube channel. Have a great day be safe.

Once it is set up it goes very fast. A couple minutes a chain. This tool would suck if you had different chains
@@curve5746 I'll have to find someone local to me who uses one and get their opinion on it and have them show me. I like the idea of it but I'm just not sure it's completely practical for my situation. I'll look into it a little deeper though and give it a shot if you guys say it's worth it. Thanks for the input
