Chainsaw self sharpening attachments

I also sharpen my own chains.

Hey, as long as you don't hit a nail or try to cut a stone sharpening (tweaking) is a no brainer.
Just grab the proper file and every second tank fill give each tooth one or 2 strokes simply following (eyeballing) the existing angle.

LOL, even if off a degree or two on the angles I suspect the cordwood production won't suffer all that much.

Thanks for the input. I clearly don't need the hassle - and apparently it would not work with any of my saws (Husqvarna Rancher, Echo 58V, Craftsman pole saw, or my 2 or 3 small corded saws I keep around -in the wood shed - for small jobs). I will keep sharpening by hand or with my Granberg sharpener (hooks up to tractor battery or battery charger).

Oregon came out with those a few years ago. There is a reason thy never really took off.

Learning to sharpen is not at all difficult. Sharpening freehand with just a round file takes some practice to do well, but I've taught people to use one of the several file guides out there in just a few minutes. By the time they've touched up a chain or two, they are getting very good results.

I used to only file sharpen my saws and hand split my firewood, but after 40 years of that I now use an electric splitter and an Oregon bench grinder.
I have started touching up with the file again before it gets too dull but in general, sharpening is now on the bench in the warm shop.
Ordered 2 new chains for the Jonsey 2172:D
