Dremel1453 Chainsaw Sharpening Kit, Rotary Tool Accessory Set with Sharpening Angle Guide Attachment and Grinding Stones

This is great to have a guide for sharpening the chain but the stones sure wear down fast. So when you need to buy new replacement stones, the best ones to get are the Granberg sharpening stones as reported by other high volume chain sharpeners on YouTube.

Made sharpening my chain quick and easy. I can’t believe how much better my chainsaw works even when compared to when it was new.

Would not fit my Dremel tool without modification

Very easy to use and very effective--especially if you've had your chainsaw for 20 years and never sharpened it before!

A bit pricey for what you get however I was able to sharpen the chain more effectively using this tool than I have ever been able to using a handheld file. Made a huge difference.

Item received was exactly as advertised.

It took me longer to read the instructions than it did to sharpen my chainsaw. Great product. Not really a downside, but if you have different size chainsaws like I do, you need to need to change out the shims that may reduce the plastic screw wholes down the road.

excellent chain saw sharpener for quick & easy sharpening

I am by no means a professional chainsaw user but have had the need to remove some very large trees from my garden and resharpening my three chainsaws is a constant task. Originally I used a dedicated chainsaw file. I then purchased a cheap electric sharpener and finally this little Dremel tool.The file works as long as the teeth are not too damaged and is easy to use on site. The electric sharpener does the job better but does of course need a power supply and the chain needs to be removed from the saw so it is rather slow. I hoped that this Dremel solution would be a good compromise between the two methods and it is, with reservations.My Dremel is a mains powered version so I still need power but I can at least sharpen the chains without having to strip them from the saw first. It seems to do a decent job and is not so aggressive to the chain as the electric sharpener. The reason I have dropped two stars is that I am not sure if the bits of metal that are fitted to the Dremel are worth the effort and money. Once assembled and calibrated the idea is that it holds the grinder in the correct position on the chain. I have never had a problem gauging by eye the correct angle for a chainsaw file and using this tool with a line marked at 30 degrees does not really help much (and one of my chains specifies 25 degrees anyway). The tool is also supposed to check depth which is set with an awkward little sheet metal gauge while trying to tighten small screws which are in oversized holes. This seems more like a DIY solution than something from a professional company and needs readjusting if a different tooth size chain and therefore grinding tool is used. The bottom line is that for me it's a lot of faffing about for little return. I found it just as easy to select the correct diameter grinder, lock it in the Dremel chuck and sharpen each tool by eye. Just as I did with a file but with a better and sharper result.Once I discovered that the bits of metal were a waste of space I decided to try the grinding tools in my other make battery tool. Not quite as powerful as the mains Dremel but it still did a good job and had the big advantage that I did not have to find mains power. This confirmed my thinking that the bits of sheet metal and the plastic ring to screw on to the Dremel were not really necessary. Also the kit includes different diameter grinding bits and I guess most users only use one so the others are a waste of money.My conclusion is therefore that the idea of using a Dremel or similar to sharpen a chainsaw is very good and works quite well. This kit however is a waste of time and money unless you are really unsure of your ability to hold the tool on the chain. The grinding bits themselves can be bought separately so for me it is more practical to check the size required (which should be shown on the chain specification as the required file diameter) and buy a set of correct size grinders.I find reviews help my buying decisions.

Kit per affilatura catene motoseghe Per Dremel. Ottimo accessorio per veloce affilatura. Tre dimensioni delle mole come da descrizione.

Wer in den Wald geht und mit Motorsägen arbeitet, der weiß wie man Ketten - von Hand - zu schärfen hat. Und generell sollte das Schärfen von Hand und mit der Feile auch die "Standardmethode" sein, welche man anwendet, da hierbei der Abtrag gering bleibt und trotzdem die Schärfe hergestellt wird.Wir haben unsere eingespielte Routine: Bei jeder Pause von der Waldarbeit, z.B. mittags, bzw. abends nach Abschluss der Arbeiten, werden die Sägen gereinigt und danach geschärft. Das Schärfen mit der Feile benötigt pro Säge ca. 2 Minuten und pro Zahn lediglich 3-5 Striche. Schon ist die Kette wieder scharf.Das Problem mit maschinellen Schärfgeräten ist, das hierbei oftmals viel zu viel Material abgetragen wird. Die Kette wird zwar scharf, aber wird unnötig schnell abgenutzt.Allerdings haben diese Schleifsteine durchaus ihre Berechtigung:Beim Schärfen sollten alle Zähne die gleiche Länge erhalten. Manchmal nutzen sich einzelne Zähne zu schnell ab, oder brechen. Wer dann mit einer Handfeile alle Zähne auf die gleiche Länge runterfeilen will, der braucht Zeit. Maschinell geht es dann in diesem Fall deutlich schneller.Man sollte jedoch auch darauf achten, die passenden Schleifsteine (Durchmesser) zu nehmen. Verschiedene Kettenteilungen benötigen unterschiedliche Feilendicken. Und je nachdem, wie stark ein Zahn abgenutzt ist, wird hierfür auch wieder eine kleinere Feile benötigt.Eine Maschine oder eine Vorrichtung ist immer nur so gut wie der Bediener. Man sollte also durchaus Ahnung haben was man tut, sonst sind die teuren Sägeketten schnell verschliffen. Das äußert sich dann in unruhigem Lauf, einem sich verziehendem Schnitt oder einen schlechtem Schnittergebnis.Ich sehe die Schleifsteine und die passende Maschine dazu lediglich als sinnvolle Ergänzung.

Tronçonnant souvent et affutant non moins souvent, j'ai cru que ce petit accessoire serait bien utile. En fait, pas vraiment parce que le diamètre de la meule diminue à l' usage, et assez vite. Si donc on affute au départ avec une meule de 4,8mm, elle perd assez vite son diamètre de un ou deux dixièmes, contrairement aux limes rondes (surtout) ou meules électriques (pour les chaines au carbure)) que j' utilise habituellement. Du coup il devient moins évident de reprendre le bord des dents. Sinon, encore neuve elle donne un bord très affuté.

As a professional chainsaw user with a license 😩, I spend many along hour on chainsaw maintenance, and sharpening the chain has always been a chore, I’ve owned various electric sharpening devices for use with the chain on and off the machine, I acquired this kit along with a cordless Dremel for a birthday present, while the cordless Dremel is excellent, the sharpening kit is disappointing for 2 reasons , hence the rating, don’t understand the inclusion of 4 different sizes of grinding stone, I’ve never met anyone with 4 different kinds of chainsaw!!!! And secondly the bit of metal that is supposed to set the angle actually only works on a dull chain, if it’s damaged so that it requires quite a bit off some of the teeth, you can’t do it !!! You are better off just getting a pack of the right sized stones and doing it by eye, don’t waste your time and money with this kit.
