Is there an accessory included to sharpen chainsaw chains? I have seen the rotary tool used and it worked very well. But it was many years ago.

No, definitely not. It will be able to do the job but you will have to purchase the attachments separately. They usually come in a kit with instructions. I used the Dremel attachment on my old Craftsman rotary tool.

I use a Dremel with grinding bit the size needed for the chain. At one point, perhaps 3 sharpenings, I have it done professionally to have it back to perfect. It's quick and I can do a reasonable job.

Yes, I have used them interchangeably. I have 4 chains and 3x18 volts saws (one pole saw). I keep 2 sharpen all the time.

This uses a Carbide Cutter - not a stone. Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener can be used on virtually all chainsaws. Most chains come in 3 standard sizes. Typically, chain size is relative to saw size. Larger more powerful saws use large chain while smaller saws use small chain. If you don't know what chain your saw has look on the bar for the indicated chain size (pitch).

The PowerSharp system consists of a chain, a bar and a bar-mount sharpener. When the chain gets dull, sharpening is as easy as snapping the sharpener on the blade and pressing the tip of the sharpener into a solid surface for a few seconds, bringing the unique top-cutting cutters into contact with the sharpening stone. This sharpens the chain and resurfaces the stone. You do have to replace your existing bar, because only the PowerSharp has the correct holes to snap the sharpener on. You can't sharpen regular chains with the sharpener, only PowerSharp chains. But you can put a regular chain on the bar if you don't have any more PowerSharp chains. I use the PowerSharp to cut anything I would cut with a regular chain, I don't just prune small branches with my saw either, I have an 18" bar because it is what I need for what I cut. I hate having to change a chain because it is dull, and I don't find it worth spending the time sharpening them, or sending them out to be sharpened. I have had good luck with the PowerSharp and I am pleased with the system. I have used the PowerSharp on an Echo CS-400 18", and an Echo CS-360.

Mine did not come with a drive adapter. I don't think it does. I already had the square drive nut from my flex shaft, so I didn't think about it not coming with one. The instructions are a bit deceiving, as it seems to assume you already have the proper adapter, but I don't see where it states that it comes with the mini saw. The screw was in place already. Had to unscrew to install blade.

U need a real chain tool, like the park tools one. They are expensive. A $3 Walmart chain tool will break.

Hmm, a bigger stem, sayeth Lydia. This is a job for your chainsaw file. (You can sharpen up your box grater while your at it.) If you don't have a chain saw file, please get one. They're invaluable, even for those not blessed with a chainsaw.

Not really. It comes with a basic set of diagram directions. I found that if you put the carbide bit into one of the holes and mount the Timberline on the chainsaw blade it will help you mount it at the right height for sharpening. I have used this thing about five time's already and it does work very well. I do remember that the directions say to rotate the carbide tip clockwise only. I have found that if you flip up the metal piece and use a screwdriver to put pressure on the chainsaw blade against the carbide tip as you rotate it sharpen the chainsaw will give you the best results. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a real easy way to sharpen their chainsaw's. Not really. It comes with a basic set of diagram directions.

Saw worked good, oil leaked everywhere, I took mine back, never sharpened the chain, sorry.

It comes with the stone and head, and tells you witch stone and head to use on a chainsaw. It should work with all chainsaws that can be re-sharpened.

I use the same file that i used on my gas saw chains. Look in a hardware store and there are kits with instructions. That is how I learned to do it many years ago when I used to wear out chain saws and cut up entire trees! No longer have that arm strength so that is why I love the Black and Decker!

My kit is new and unused and there is not a single stone for sharpening a chain saw chain. They may be something that can be ordered individually but this kit will be of no use to you as far as sharpening your chain - don't order it.

the smaller battery and charger comes with the chainsaw. I have now used both the larger battery, ( that you have to buy separately), and the smaller battery, the larger battery is far superior to the one that comes with the set. the charger will charge both batteries.

You will need to find out the specifications for your chain, then download the owners manual for this sharpener. I would assume this machine will do it, though we all know what assume did... Good Luck Larry, if you go down this road you will no longer think you know you will have to know because sharpening with this machine gets one fully involved, its actually a lot of fun.
