Rotary chain sharper

[Welderman85]

Do these work ok. I have been thinking about getting one but haven't yet. I mostly just hand file but I look at the oergon one every time im in the store.

FIL has something like that, its a great way to louse up a chain in a hurry, an actual sharpener or a file are the way to go IMO. Save your money.

There are some who will be able to do a good job on a chain with a device like that, but it is also possible to make a mess of a chain in a hurry as has been mentioned. If you don't mind wrecking a chain, or at least grinding away a lot of the tooth getting the hang of it, it could be a good learning experience.

I sometimes find it necessary to touch up a tooth or two with the stone from that type of grinder when filing as I've found some cutters that seem to get a case hardening effect from use.
