Chain Sharpener Checklist

Checklist For Chain Sharpeners for chainsaws

The size of the grinding wheels
  • Most chain sharpeners are suitable for grinding wheels with a diameter of 145 mm or 108 mm.
  • The following applies: optimum grinding results can be achieved with a grinding wheel with a slightly larger outer diameter.
The tensioning device
  • The clamping device is used to fix the chain . This allows the individual cutting teeth of the chain links to be sharpened evenly without any problems.
  • It is important that you can adjust the angle of the tension ing device individually. Only then can you grind all the cutting teeth at the same angle.
  • It should be noted that different types of chain also require a different sharpening angle.
  • You can determine which angle setting is the right one in each case using templates or precise instructions from the chain shar pener manufacturer.
The mounting
  • To prevent strong vibrations , the chain sharpener must be stably attached to the work surface. The weight plays a less important role, more important are robust screws or clamps, so that the device can be mounted firmly.
  • Tip: Make sure to buy a device that has a bar handle covered with non-slip rubber . This increases comfort and makes the work easier.
The idle speed
  • The actual performance of a chain sharpener is not measured by the specified wattage, but by the idle speed.
  • The wattage only tells you how much power is being consumed.
  • The idle speed tells you how fast the grinding wheel is turning. The higher the RPM, the higher the power. You will achieve a much more precise result with a high rotation.
  • Caution is advised, however, if you work too long. The heat generated can have a damaging effect on the material.
  • We recommend chain sharpeners with an idle speed of approx. 3,000 rpm.
Safety
  • A well-lit work area guarantees you a good overview when working. The safety screen should therefore be as transparent as possible.
  • Some manufacturers also offer additional lighting to ensure maximum safety.
  • Also make sure that the protective screen is designed so that only a very small area of the grinding wheel is exposed. This not only prevents excessive flying sparks, but also keeps you from getting clothing caught in the fast-moving grinding wheel.
