Can work pretty good...
I've rocked a bunch of chains cutting firewood this year do to muddy conditions so I picked up a cheap amazon grinder to speed up restoring damaged chains.
I had to buy a 3/16 wheel for it tho, I went the cheapest route and bought the 3/16 100mm wheel with a 10mm hole and drilled it out to 7/8 with a step bit, somehow it works good lol.
Pictures are
it mounted to the post in the messy garage
sharpened .325 semi chisel
then from top to bottom, new holzf chain, new 8ten then sharpened 3/8 holzf. IMG_1179.JPGIMG_1181.JPGIMG_1178.JPG
 
I modded the grinder to put more hook in the cutter.
The clamp is setting on the screw on the right which tilts the clamp 7 degrees, there's a small bolt in the hole in the clamp to hold the little washer in it. It's still pretty solid but I hold the chain on the right hand side while grinding to hold things steady.
It should be about 53 degrees of head now tilt while stock is 60.
