Can this sharpener regrind the angle of a chain to 10 degrees for milling? If so, how long does it take to regrind a 24" chain?

I'm not familiar with milling, ( keep in mind, this sharpener is only for chain saws ) but the angle set goes from 0 - 35 degrees, in 5 degree increments. It has a block so each cutting tooth is the same size. I would call Buffalo Tool customer service, or email them to find out.

I spoke with our technician and the electric chainsaw sharpener can turn 10 degrees to the right or left. I do not have any information on the length of time it would take to sharpen the blade but the technician did say that the sharpening stone is up against the steel blade. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Yes, you can. You dial the angle on the front bottom knob. It takes less than 20 minutes to do a 20 inch chain.

I use a machine called the worx sharpener. It is a small belt sharpener that has changeable blade guides it basically puts the factory edge back on the knife. The edge depends on the use intended use the smaller the angle of the edge ie 20°the sharper but this will also dull faster. So I use 25° the edge holds up longer. My knife came with a good edge on it all I have done is rehone the factory edge back to sharp. But if you get it extra dull then you will have to use a more abrasive stone or belt which ever you have on hand. You can purchase a worx sharpener online or at cabelas or bass pro I am a knife lover and it is the best product I have found to give you a easy factory edge.

Here is the info from temberline's web page: 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 3 most common pitch sizes are listed below with the related carbide size. This pitch size will be .404, 3/8, .325, or 3/8P 3/8&#8243; and .404&#8243; pitch chain = Large 7/32&#8243; 3/8&#8243; Stihl chain; slightly smaller = Large 13/64&#8243; .325&#8243; pitch chain = Medium 3/16&#8243; 3/8&#8243; P or Picco, low profile, micro and 1/4&#8243; pitch = Small 5/32&#8243; 7/32&#8243; = 5.5 mm 13/64&#8243; = 5.0 mm 3/16&#8243; = 4.8 mm 5/32&#8243; = 4.0 mm or call Temberline @ 208-405-2020 or email: info@temberlinesharpener.com Looks to me like it could be the 7/32 or the 13/64 so I would call Temberline to be sure (if it were me)

Professional chain saw sharpeners all use different grinding wheels to match different chains. For a quick example, research the more expensive Oregon chain saw sharpeners sold here on Amazon, they come with 3 different grinding wheels to match different chains. This machine does not sharpen chainsaws even close to as sharp as having them professionally sharpened on a professional machine. There are also no bevel adjustments on this machine.

No, the angle cannot be adjusted, and I think this one is set for a 20 American knife angle. The same company does sell sharpeners for the Asian knives, I think.

You need to buy the Tormek jig that lets you sharpen blades that long. Check on Tormek's web site, it's very good. Or, use their "contact" to ask them questions directly -- they are superb at that. Usually get a thorough answer in 24 hours or less.

The guide is variable. There are no set angles. You end up adjusting the guide to the angle of the blade you are sharpening. I wish it had set angles, but once you get used to the setup, it works very well. Not really something you setup and use for the first time perfectly. Takes some fiddling and learning.

Yes. It uses a different angle than smooth edge blades so make sure when you use a steel to use the correct angle (I think it's 20 degrees but I may be mistaken). I used a standard knife sharpener on it and it dulled the knife. If you use a sharpener makes sure it's designed to work with these kinds of blades. And when you get all this right be careful.. these knives are S H A R P.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

I can't see any reason why you would need a larger wheel. The wheel is certainly larger than anything you'd want to sharpen as it's only the angle or pitch that needs adjustment. So this should do the job on any of your chains.

I too bought one 10 months ago and sharpened about 45 chains without any problems. I know they can do a better job with their instructions too.

It should work just fine. You need to order the correct size cutter for your blade. I've tried many different techniques for sharpening saws and this is one of the best off the shelf products for sharpening that I've seen. Done properly the teeth on both sides of the chain will be as uniform as you can get without being professionally sharpened.

I have never used mine for anything other than planner blades from six to 15 inches. For my skewed blades I made my own jig and sharpen them on a 8" wheel that does a very good job. The only caution is your wheel must be dressed to perfect round.

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.

This sharpener only does a 20 degree angle. If you are looking for one that does both 15 and 20 degree angles I suggest you look at the Chefs Choice Model 1520 Angle Select Sharpener

$126 gets you the sharpener and one cutter. In this case, the 5/32 cutter. Timberline sells individual replacement cutters for $20. They estimate 40 sharpenings per cutter. http://www.timberlinesharpener.com/shop/additional-carbide-cutterNote that they also sell for a mere $12 a pair of angle guides. So rather than being locked to 30 degrees, you can also handle 25 degrees and 35 degrees! Nice.If only they would also support "tilt" other than just zero degrees. 10 degree tilt is very popular!Would be nice if Amazon sold these parts as well.

I'll answer your second question first. Yes. I use it maybe every 2nd or 3rd time I use the knife. Just a few light strokes is all it takes and there is hardly any steel removed. As for your first question its not so easy. I looked into some Global Knives and it looks like they are sharpened to a 12.5 degree bevel. This sharpener is set to a 15 degree angle. Your first time using it, you will have to use lots and lots of strokes on the 1 slot to essentially grind away your 12.5 degree edge and create a 15 degree one. Its what I did going from a 22.5 degree angle on my knives to the 15 created by this. It won't "hurt" your knife so much as change it. Although I suspect you would be hard pressed to notice a 2.5 degree change in the cutting angle.
