New Style Chain Grinder - Schleiferl Light

[SimonHS]

This looks interesting. Portable and easy to use. The cost is 200 euros. Not sure about that method of lowering the rakers though. It might be quicker to stick to hand filing them.

I would have liked to see the saw cutting after being sharpened with this tool, and see what the chips look like.

Looks quite cumbersome to me compared to a hand file or some of the other small portable battery operated diamond bit systems. Plus needing to have an impact driver or drill to run it makes it fairly bulky and adds extra cost if you do not own one already.

Not saying it would not work well but 200 Euros buys me a heck of a lot of files. Also anything that needs to say "for professionals" so many times usually is not something a professional would ever use. Past experience from getting burnt with marketing hype.

Interesting for sure, but i cannot see that as something i would ever use myself.

I wonder how long that sanding belt lasts running it around an 1/8" diameter mandrel in the tool!
