It works like it should. Great item to have if you cut your own fire wood, or sharpen blades for family and friends aswell for some extra cash. The only problem I had was reading the instruction manual. You will find like several other people I know that it is written in “jibberish”. Dont let it deter you in any reguards. You will get some information, but then common sense takes over. Outside of that, use the manual in the bathroom and save on toilet paper. I dont see why Oregon cant re-write the instructions to simplify things.

THIS IS a very generic sharpener marketed under a number of names. Price varies from 25.00 to 75.00– all the same. Is it cheap? Yea. Does it work? You bet! You have to understand the mechanical setup that grinds to the stationary chain. With care and practice, you can do nearly as good as a 250.00 machine. And that is infinitely better than you can hand-file, and most of the time you are cutting with the saw. The slight imperfections that might occur due to vibration and play in the grinding arm are insignificant once you learn the machine. I have sharpened 100s of chains with one of these units. No complaints yet. I actually modified mine to accept 4 1/2″ grinding wheels. That gives me a huge range of grits, wheel thickness, which I use to coarse grind damaged chains. While the adjusting knobs and chain clamp/vise are flimsy; they can be cinched down to work. For a homeowner, this unit is fine for the price less than 30.00. Cutting with sharp, balanced chains makes for a better running saw. That saves you time and money. If you have this tool you will likely keep 2-3 spare chains sharp; and that will last most of you guys, a lifetime.

The motor vibrates and causes the chain to change positions when grinding. All plastic allows for too much tolerance in critical positioning of the chain. Hence, some links are ground deeper than others because the plastic flexes too much. No way to positively set both left and right links exactly the same depth. Took it back to Harbor Freight and got my money back.

This is way faster and more accurate than sharpening by hand. If I wanted to sharpen chains for a living I would have a $600 machine, but for my purpose this is fine. The plastic casing does allow some flex. A little practice and patience and it works just fine.

Wow! This machine does a great job! Considering how little I had to invest in this sharpener, it has saved me a ton to time and money. No more dropping off chains at the shop for sharpening. Now I can charge my buddies! Very satisfied.

I am an older lady that likes to work in the woods with a chainsaw, and have always dreading hitting a rock or dirt, dulling my saw. When my husband was alive, it wasn’t a problem, as he could sharpen it for me, but I have tried to sharpen my own in the past, but never could do it right. I just purchased this sharpener, and sharpened my chain for the first time today. It took me awhile, but after getting the “hang of it”, it was absolutely wonderful. It took very little time and does a wonderful job. This will save me time, money and frustration to say the least. I couldn’t be happier with a product.
July 26th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
I like the product and once I figured out how to use it I was happy. I think it should come with better instructions as I had to figure it out by looking at a couple of pictures and I am still not sure if I am using it right, but I am able to cut what I need.
July 27th, 2010 at 2:51 am
Product is good and it does what the ad states however the picture in the ad shows different battery connections. The connections in the picture show a bigger clip then the ones that are actually on the device. The product would have been returned if I did not have a side mount battery. You can’t use this product with a top mount battery the battery connections are to big

I researced maybe 3 different types and selected the Granberg only because it was stated to be the Original and still the best. It has lived up to the claims and have been very satisfied with the product. The only down side was the directions are lousy. There are 3 or 4 important adjustments to be made each time you use the sharpener and the directions just are not clear.

Out of the box it only took a few minutes to set up and use. Evened out an entire chain within minutes.
Sharpening freehand eventually leads to a sloppy chain. One of my saws is a Husky 575 and with the speed and torque on the chain I like it to run as smooth as possible.
The majority of time people using electric sharpeners take way to much off the chains and cut their life in half. With this setup you can ensure your outcome to be precise and well done even in the field.
I used to run three chains, switching from one to the next instead of sharpening in the field. When I was done cutting I’d sharpen each chain at the end of the day. Now it takes a few minutes to sharpen them instead of changing them out and I’m ready to go again.
I would suggest a second screw(B)to secure to the bar better but it’s okay the way it is.

This saw sharpener is great. Highly customizable and let’s you only take off how much metal you feel is necessary. Worth the money to sharpen yourself.
July 29th, 2010 at 3:00 am
Great tool for precision resharpening. Used it to sharpen my new chain saw cutters to perfect cutting condition. Can’t wait to use it again.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
So far so good. I’ve sharpened 10 chains so far and they have all worked very well.

I have used the Oregon Hydraulic Bench-Mounted Grinder for several weeks and I am very satisfied, it works great.
