Love my Timberline. I can hand file extremely well, but the timberline keeps the angles and length consistent which make the saw cut smoother and more efficiently. Some food for thought. I set my 036 up with an 18" bar and .325 full chisel chain on a 9 pin rim. I drop my rakers to .040. The saw is over powered for the narrow kerfed 18" chain, so the shorter rakers let me take advantage of the extra power. The setup is very grabby, but also very fast for bucking and felling, and still some what light. It's too grabby to use on really small stuff, but I have an 026 that I use for that.
Just subbed , I just came across this video because I really wondered how well those work. I like most have always hand filed but arthritis is making it difficult now
Thanks for that. Been hummin n hawin 'bout one...looks like you're costin me money! 😁 We don't have a lot of hardwood in the PNW...but the pine, spruce, cedar and hemlock goo up the chain and heat it. - Constantly sharpening- to an 'okay' degree 'cause I'm always in a hurry to get outta the bush before dinner. 👍
I just bought a timberline sharpener and I'm pumped to try it. I have a husqvarna 440 and a 372xp. Any thoughts on how you would sharpen a ripping chain with a 10 degree angle for use with an Alaskan chainsaw mill? I use an Oregon sharpener for that chain but the process is time consuming and clunky.
Timberline offers different degree barrels (sold separately) from the ones it's sent with. Check their site, I'm not sure what they offer. If that doesn't help, I feel like hand file with an angle guide or there's a dremel style with an angle set. You have options friend
I'm 72...and have my share of sharpeners purchased in my quest for the one that works the best for me. My problem was always with the 30' angle. And when I started using my Timberline, I realized how inconsistent my sharpening was in that regard. My Timberline solved that issue for me. I LOVE the kit. And even easy enough to use in the field. Thanks. But jeez...you scare the crap out of me watching you cut with little to no protection...helmet, gloves, and chaps. I value my extremities...You are asking for trouble. BE SAFE!
Good work. They are a great performer. Didn’t think about not needing a vice. That is handy. Have seen vids on knockoffs of the Timberline and comments that the quality accuracy isn’t as good. Comments on how the sharpening bits wear out. The original still seems to be the best.
Thanks for the review. I'm going to get one. Wear some hearing protection when you saw- you will wish you had when you are no longer young and invincible!
I would like a timber line sharper and not the rip off one for Husqvarna chainsaw chain 3/8 and 7/32file size is there anyway to get one sent to Australia NSW
There are knock-offs online. Some, like the one I bought, have only one pawl. The pawl is the dangling bit that locks the chain in place for sharpening. A single pawl only stops the chain in one direction, for the sharpening on alternate teeth. Reversing it is a challenge. Correct sharpening angle is not maintained. Long and short of it: avoid the knock-offs on amazon.
Does anybody know if these guys are still in business Timberline because I keep calling their phone number and get a answering machine been doing that for 4 days
I have a timberline sharpener it’s great. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for watching!

A comparison with the Stihl 2 in 1 would be awesome and appreciated!
Look for it at some point soon!
Looks like a handy little sharpener.
I have a Stihl 500i and a 391 plus a Timberline sharpener and that is quite a winning combination. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👍🏿😊
Congrats on 300 buddy👍🏻
Thanks bro!

Thanks for the sub! Hope you find something that eases the burden!
Congrats on 300 subs Ben.
I'm old school. I mainly just use a file.
I understand that completely. Thanks buddy

Well, this won't be your fastest sharpen but it'll be accurate! Thanks for watching!
do you think if you spent a little more time on the chain that it would cut even faster
Not particularly. I probably could've trimmed a touch more on the depth gauges and got it a tad faster. Not by much though, in my opinion

Twice as fast is pretty good. Keep up the good work.

It is somewhat tedious at times but a very good sharpener
Hello good video I like wearing my thin gloves for doing my chain and bar. Reason being I cut myself bad but I could look at the timberline
Safety is always the most important. Thanks for watching!

Check out their site! I linked it in the description
Could you provide a link to the temberline sharpener? I bought a knockoff and I HATE that piece of junk!!
Sure thing, friend! timberlinesharpener.com/
