Wanted to pass this one, I tried out one of the Timberline Sharpeners and its amazing. Easy to setup and I can sharpen my chain in a couple of minutes.  VERY user friendly.

The only thing missing is the raker level indicator,if your not sure what it does it meters the amount of tooth that is allowed to contact the wood,so if you have the sharpest tooth and to high of a raker you will make sawdust and find yourself pushing down to cut,but if you remove to much you will get kick back and saw sticking?I cut with a 044 n a 20" bar so the saw has tons of power to bite thru n a 32" bar for the big stuff.it looks like a real nice we'll make tool but for me I need it all for the money.

I bought one a few years ago, best thing I ever bought. Can't sharpen a chain to save my life. It has already paid for itself.

NICE But all I'm saying is for that much thought and nice tool lots of thought went into it they should of had a way to adjust the raker and I emailed them to talk to them and they did respond and thanked me for imput,when they add is to the tool I'll but it for sure.otherwise I'm good with the file.
PLEASE DONT GET ME WRONG! This is the best tool I've ever seen to sharpen I just want it all.

File guides can be bought that after you sharpen the chain, you lay the guide over two cutter teeth and file down the raker between them.

I know that what I'm saying is to build a GREAT TOOL but leave out one important part of sharpening out.

Just invested, waiting to use this weekend!!

This thing is awesome.

I put it up there with my X-27 purchase.

Just ordered one for my dad for Christmas.  Figured that would be a good gift that I can use too!

Just ordered one.  Put it off way too long.  I saw fdaddy's comment on comparing it to his X27 purchase.  I bought an X27 about 2 months ago.  If ANYONE is looking for a great splitting axe, do not buy anything but the Fiskars X27.  I bought mine from Home Depot, delivered to my front door for less than $60.  The sharpener on the other hand was more than twice that, but I think I will like it....  Stay warm.

You will be amazed at the precision that it shapens out.

Very quality tool for chainsaws, expensive but good!!

If you can find a 5/16 thick grinding wheel, you should be able to profile a cove on the grinding wheel and grind your raker teeth with the grinder.  Google an Oregon 511AX chain grinder manual and look at it.  That sharpener comes with the wide grinding wheel and describes how to set their grinder up to do this.  I assume the Timberline can do it as well since it is a similar design.

I got mine last week just tried it the first time I have say little bit of a pita at first but it really does an amazing job Luv it screw the file

I bought one a few weeks ago and have only used it twice.  I don't know if I'm not taking enough material off or what, but it didn't do a whole lot for me.  I'll watch the video and try it again sometime soon.

I used the wheel that was meant for .404 chain to do my rakers.
