Timberline sharpener $124 Amazon sharpener $19.99 Yes I would say there is quite a difference. plus for the Timberlin the replacement cutters are $20 each.

@bb1040 thanks for sharing! ~Mr. C.

[@danmcleod1360]

It is the operator malfunction. Mine works really well on my saw.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@danmcleod1360 if it is operator malfunction I would love to see a video of you using yours. I am always open to learning. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.

[@diggindiggenit6540]

Nice audio and video quality tks for demonstrating the unit, I also bought one but the picture of the item i bought was different than the actual item received, the picture looked more like the timberline, thicker handle etc but yeah opened it very thin handle. Nice video just subscribed

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@diggindiggenit6540 that's a bummer you didn't receive what was pictured. I know when I was looking some of the ads show what appeared to be a timberline picture that was stolen from the website. Did you try the sharpener? Thanks for the kind comment, sub, and for watching! ~Mr. C.

[@diggindiggenit6540]

I have yet to try it all my saws are in the shed and it's beyond to cold for me to go play, I am kind of waiting for a thaw or a temp above freezing@@NaturesCadenceFarm

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@diggindiggenit6540 I understand it's been cool here too. Good luck. Thanks for getting back to me. Talk soon. ~Mr. C.

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

sharpeners like this or the granberg file n joint you really need to drill a divot in your bar you so can get repeatable results

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@Schlomo Shekelstein that is an interesting idea. I had never thought of that. As the tooth shortens would a lower divot be needed to compensate for less tooth height? I will look into the idea though. Thanks! ~Mr. C.

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Is that bure there because its been sharpened so many times I just learning

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@patterdalezipsuzilil I think you are referring to the burr on the cutter tooth. I guess so... It will probably break off as soon as it touches the wood though. Thanks for watching and asking! Keep em coming! ~Mr. C.

[@fredhinck9685]

Looks like these don't work on low profile chains commonly used on cordless saws.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@fredhinck9685 the knock off ones would not at all. The timberline might. I do not have a cordless to try it on. If I do one day I will definitely give it a go. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Mr. C.

[@diggindiggenit6540]

You know what is interesting this type of design isn't new, the other day I seen on an online auction site a vintage type sharpener same basic design, maybe 45 yrs old very cool.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@diggindiggenit6540 that's pretty cool. Another comenter mentioned that and I looked into it. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. It means so much to me! ~Mr. C.

[@fredhinck9685]

OOPS, spoke too soon. Haven't seen a smaller version like you showed. There doesn't seem to be a distinction between sizes in the adds.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@fredhinck9685 the smaller one doesn't look like it would work either. Maybe it would but it is just dimensionally too small for anything I think. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. It means so much to me. ~Mr. C.

[@JosePlata]

Just stick one of them file thingy's in your drill and it works way faster.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@JosePlata that is an interesting idea. I will look into that. Thanks for watching and sharing. ~Mr. C.

[@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC]

Those bumps are called “the gullet” you should always get the gullet unless you’re using a grinder. Looks like someone ground your chain incorrectly

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@JAMES HOPKINS I agree! Get that gullet! This saw was a friends. I was helping him sharpen his chain. I figured it would be good to show how some shops would leave a gullet bump and that it would need to be removed. Thank you so much for commenting and helping everyone out. I really appreciate awesome viewers like you that help out and interact. Cool machine work you do. I would love to have some tools like that and know how to use them one day. ~Mr. C.

[@thomasfrost6993]

Can you tell me if the Timberline bits fit the Amazon sharpener?

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@thomasfrost6993 my Timberline carbide burrs do not fit any of the knockoffs I have. There might be a manufacturer that is making one that does accept the Timberline burrs but I have not seen one. Excellent question, thanks for asking. ~Mr. C.

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

It looks like it's not made for your chain the silver part is too far at end of thread

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@patterdalezipsuilil I agree. I thought the same thing. I have not however had the same issue with the Timberline sharpener. Thanks again for checking out the video and asking good questions. ~Mr. C.

[@rwhirsch]

i don't understand why the chinese don't copy the exact dimensions of the timberline so that the slide doesn't fall off at the end of the rail. anyway...i ordered a knockoff yesterday...hope i don't have to return it to amazon. i'm not spending 125$ for the real deal.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@rwhirsch I found the block falling off when nowhere close to the end of the chain life a huge let down. If that was corrected I could see the unit as being slightly useful. I would love to hear your feedback on the one you get from Amazon. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.

[@thepubliceye]

You are not following the instructions at all, did you even read them?

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@ THE PUBLIC EYE are you referring to the knockoff sharpener? I did not receive any instructions for that one. If I did not follow the Timberline instructions, please help me out. Where did I go wrong? Thanks in advance for your help. ~Mr. C.

[@rchristie5401]

i wont pay $1 for chinese crap.

[@NaturesCadenceFarm]

@rchristie5401 the knockoff was pretty sad in every way compared to the Timberline. Thanks for watching and sharing. ~Mr. C.
