I have tried many other sharpeners over the years.. While many like the electric ones work.. It took me a while to figure out how to set all the different settings.. I have gotten the best and most uniform sharpening I have ever gotten.
And the nice things is that the sharpener can be used any where you happen to be when you need to sharpen the chain. This is one of the best ways to get the most out of your chains. Michael j Burk — July 29, Matthewcaf — June 5, Jim Karnofski — June 17, I was given an older File-n-Joint Junion Mod. I need a diagram of parts and instructions to use this older model, please. Do you have anything on this product, Mod 1A? Richard D Janeway — November 7, Spacegunner — November 28, Chain teeth come out nearly perfect every time.

This tool sharpens chain to factory specs and lowers depth gauges. State of the Week Sale is back! Use discount code: NHWK at checkout. Once your tool is attached so that the chain still moves and you've set the right angle, the filing mechanism should move smoothly along the file rails.
With the proper setup as depicted in the video below, the actual work of grinding your chain will go fairly smoothly. Just be sure to file each cutting link at the same angle and with the same number of strokes; all you're doing is exposing a new cutting edge. If you've been wearing gloves all day and are sharpening during a break, it may be tempting to remove your gloves.
However, your chainsaw chain will be both oily and dirty, and may have microscopic mold on it from exposure to living and dead wood.
You don't want these products under your skin; so, keep your gloves on! Familiarity with the Grandberg and with your chainsaw will improve the performance of the Grandberg every time you sharpen. Luckily, there are some things about it that will always perform well. For example, there are multiple spots on the jig where you can customize your cutting depth and angle. If you've already sharpened this chain and are just exposing new cutting surfaces, the angle setup and depth gauge should be the same on the jig.
The cast-aluminum and zinc-plated steel construction of this tool means that you can count on your Granberg precision chainsaw sharpener to be stable.
While it's never a good idea to ask a chainsaw sharpener for forgiveness, the GB has some to offer! If properly set, the chain will rotate. If not, the chain won't move. It either works or it doesn't. Both the angle and the depth gauge can be adjusted separately, so consider working a little short; that is, high on the cutting edge, or even above it, to make sure you're matching the angle you need.
If you've determined that you're at the right angle and that your chain is rotating freely, you can set the depth gauge. The Granberg moves easily and flips up out of the way as you advance your chain, so the actual work of sharpening goes quickly and you can really go to town; the only adjustment you'll need to make is if the jig sags on the bar. This unit contains no plastic anywhere. The clamping mechanism will not flex if you need to apply a little pressure, and the rail guides will not be at risk of breaking if it gets knocked around a little.
If that gets bent or damaged, the file will bind rather than glide. The entire body of the tool is constructed of cast aluminum and zinc-plated steel for rust resistance and durability. All the connections feature thumbscrews or wingnuts for easy adjustment and access; no need to use a particular screwdriver or Allen wrench.
If kept clean and free of damage, your GB moves easily and looks sharp. Keep an eye on all the connecting wing-nuts to make sure you don't lose anything from vehicle to woodlot and consider placing your Granberg in a sturdy container of its own to avoid damage to the clamping or filing mechanism.
Of course, the best chainsaw sharpener is the one you're actually going to be able to use without a lot of fuss and set up, and it is quick to mount and to use. The file handle is easy to grasp and well-balanced.
Best of all, at no point in the filing stroke will you fingers get anywhere near a sharp surface. Of course, the most important part of a manual chainsaw sharpener is the file , and the GB doesn't include files.
Since you'd need to check your chainsaw file size chart to confirm you're using the right file for the job anyway, this limitation is not terribly troublesome. For the money, the Granberg bar-mount chainsaw sharpener is a great deal. This tool will stand the test of time if used and stored properly. This sharpening jig is built by people who know and love the work of lumber.
The Granberg sharpening tool is manual; you can put it to use in the field with nothing more than a stump vise. Additionally, sharpening in the middle of a long day of cutting will give you a chance to sit and enjoy the quiet with a nice cup of coffee. For chainsaw users who don't need to go far afield, an electric sharpener may save time. This sharpener will require you to remove the chain from the saw, but has several spots for proper adjustment and features a jig for the chain to ride on.
It offers plenty of flexibility so you can sharpen your chain for ripping or perpendicular cuts. The angle of the grind can change from 0 to 35 degrees in 5-degree increments.
You can sharpen any size chain on this grinder without changing wheels. You'll only need to change the wheel if it becomes damaged or wears out. Be sure to review your electric chainsaw sharpener instructions when placing and replacing your grinding wheel on the arbor.
