A hand-file is the easiest form of Chain saw sharpener available. It is a chainsaw sharpener with a round file with a diameter which correspond to that of the chain saw. This simple way of sharpening a chain saw is ideal for a quick on the site duties. A professional chainsaw sharpener on the other hand is electrically operated and it makes jobs much easier and straight forward. The professional chainsaw sharpener makes use of eccentric levers between two guided bars and the guides are ideal for keeping the chains at the right angle for sharpening.
The chain of this professional sharpener can be moved to the next tooth with the aid of some pins. Grinding wheels of varying thicknesses are also available and can be adopted to chains from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch pitch. A large safety shield is often used in covering the grinding wheel during the sharpening processes. The effectiveness of the chainsaw sharpening machine itself is determines by two main factors which are; The angle applied to grind the tip of the chain and the shape of front of the chain tooth. The sharpening angle can be adjusted on the clamping device while the chain tooth is determined by the thickness and shape of the grinding wheel.
There are several types of chain saw sharpener around. The cheapest and the easiest to operate is the hand-held file that you can carry in your toolbox or chain saw case. It comes in several different diameters depending on the size of your chain and the teeth pitch. The most common sizes are 1/4” and 3/8” files.
