I've noticed that some of the bars are different for instance the ms180 still has two bars were that I have found where the roller is in the front one bar is thinner and one bar is thicker can you tell me what the difference is

[@michaelharrison4102]

I have one of these for several years and it’s brilliant. A good tip if I can share is to give the the blade 3 passes on each tooth every time you refuel and not wait until the blade is completely dull. It only takes a couple of minutes and it keeps the chain in optimal condition.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Agreed!

[@artsmith103]

I switched to battery saw and I sharpen every 3 batteries which is about 1 full pickup with tall topper. About 2/3 cord.

[@PaulSchortemeyer]

Really? EVERY time I re-fuel? I'm thinking there won't be a chain left at the end of the day 😩. Maybe I'm just lazy 😁.

[@artsmith103]

@@PaulSchortemeyer Agreed, OP must not cut much wood. That would be about 4 times per cord, ridiculous.

[@MemphisMike901]

[@almclean4835]

Wee tip, if your in the woods and need to sharpen the chain and don’t have a stump vice. Cut into the top of the stump about an inch or so, this is enough to hold the bar steady enough to sharpen it with two hands

Bought one of these with my first Stihl Chain Saw. Worked for about 3 weeks clearing post tornado trees. Used the sharpener numerous times both on my shop and in the field. Actually wore out my first chain on oaks, maples, osage orange, elm trees etc. This tool is well worth the $35 in time savings and chain renewal. This is an excellent video on using the gig.

[@donmurray8440]

Remember to rotate the file in your jig sharpener every so often to fully utilize your file and equalize sharpening

[@sticks7971]

It rotates itself while using it . No need to do that

[@Mojo32]

@@sticks7971cool, how does it rotate itself?

[@andywright2606]

Been using these things for years and NO it doesn't rotate it self, the whole tool is designed to hold the file very snug so it won't move. So do as Don Murray suggested and rotate the file regularly so it wears evenly.

[@CarlMadsen]

I've watched one rotate. The other does not rotate. Yes, rotate it even if you think it rotates on it's own. It may rotate some, but you can't be sure.

[@MrDoccus]

@@CarlMadsen Is it pretty clear when the files are dull and need replacing?

[@mickmcloughlin1646]

These files are great. I've got one for each of my saws. Once you get the feel for it, it takes no time to sharpen a chain. A little pricey, but well worth the money instead of using just a single straight file, and another one for the raker. Seriously one of Sthil's better ideas/tools ever.

[@hdpro66]

I bought 2 of these (1 for each pitch of the 2 saws I have) so I don't have to switch files. I absolutely love these! They do an awesome job and have already saved me money on sharpening. I can quickly do a sharpening before using my saw each time. I highly encourage anyone who has a chainsaw and even the least amount of diy ability to pick this up. It's easy to do. Couple it with your channel, Steve and one has the perfect how-to mix!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

[@StrormTorres]

I have 2 of these files. 3/8 low and high for my 2 stihl chainsaws. Absolutely love them. They do a great job at sharpening the teeth as well as filling down the depth gages at the same time. Takes me like 5 minutes to get my chains cutting like new

The 2 in 1 filing guides are awesome tools. I work in bridge maintenance and construction. We cut a lot of dirty nasty materials up to treated 12”x12” timber and also need to cut clean material to replace it with. These tools will quickly bring a chain that is beyond cutting back to life. They are a little pricey but in my opinion worth every penny. Great video Steve.

[@fonzyhaskell]

I have one of these and I find it very easy and fast to use. It sharpens very consistently. The only problem that I have with it is that I have some friends that know that I have it, so it seems like I get to do more sharpening than cutting.

[@johnmacdonald6220]

Thanks Steve watched another video that was doing a review on the device. The person demonstrating the device wasn't familiar as to why the sharpener was set to sharpen at that angle. Your explanation fully explained that when ordering the sharpener the customer needs to refer to their saws cutting bar and then order the device accordingly. For a homeowner that only uses a chainsaw on occasion having someone explain the how's and why's and demonstrate correct way to use the tool invaluable.

[@victormcox]

I bought one two weeks ago and I absolutely love mine. I'll always free sharpen my by hand and sometimes wind up with a curving cut! I guess the only drawback is the small flat file is product specific however the two round files look to be off the shelf. If we could have just thought of this 20 years ago we'd probably be drinking little umbrella drinks down in Aruba somewhere!

[@mikecooley3361]

I bought one of these a few years ago and it is by far the best tool for sharpening a full chain. Before, I used that cheapie HF sharpener which has too much flex to maintain a good angle and only handles the cutter teeth. My only suggestion to those who use it, put a few blocks of wood under the power head to support it, keeps stress off the bar while in the vise and helps with getting the bar level.

[@thomaslaessig9669]

I've been using this sharpener for about 3 months and it's really great. Five things; 1- Use a rag, wood, or plastic in your vice to reduce damage to the bar. You can see the damage done to his bar in the video. 2- Do not sharpen a tooth that is toward the end of the saw as the blade begins to turn the corner because the guide rails will not be at the proper height. 3- I tighten the chain a little so there is less deflection as you push on the tooth and I use the chain brake then cut 3 or 4 teeth before advancing. 4-The chain is typically very sharp when your done and the depth gauge is very aggressively cut. This does create some chattering while cutting as you can see in the video of the chainsaw use. 5- He didn't cover the amount of times he files but for me it depends on the condition of the chain. Usually two passes for light touch up or 5 to 6 if you've hit a rock. Overall an absolutely terrific tool, I can't recommend it enough. Stihl all the way. Great video!!

Hi Steve, I have three Stihl 2in1 sharpening jigs for all my different saws and they work great.

For the first time since I've been sharpening chains, 35 years, I can resharpen to cut as well as new. I just had a saw I had lent out that they cut rocks with and only a few strokes per tooth brought it back to cutting again. It's fast and easy. Manufactured by Pferd, marketed by Stihl, you can probably pick up up blue Pferd one a few dollars cheaper if you can be bothered or a Chinese one real cheap if you're brave.

Thinking about getting one of these. Gotten very good at free hand filing over the years with hand eye coordination and muscle memory but getting arthritis in my fingers and this sharpening guide might be a lot easier on them. Going to give it a try. Also I noticed the instructions say to hold it at 90° but the instruction Manuals for the two Stihl saws I've had both said to hold the file 10° down which would be an 80° arc not 90. Not really a big difference.

@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I bought one of these several years ago. I think it's the best possible in-field sharpening tool money can buy. Great review of an excellent tool.

Great job

Steve can the two and one sharpener be used on a huskvarer chain

[@gregwoollacott2618]

I have two of these sharpeners. One for my MS170 and the other for my MS390. In the early 1970s, when I worked for Crownzellerbach in the Kitimat Valley, I used just a round file, flat file, and a raker guage. These new sharpeners are the way to go.

[@SalBehbehani]

Thank you very informative, like the detailed shots. Are the knockoffs sharpeners($11 to $17) any good? If so what details to look for?

[@RBnPA]

Thanks for the video. Just picked up 2 in 1. I don’t know that I totally agree with you on the directions. I thought they were pretty poor for someone who has never sharpened a chain. I had it pretty much figured out and your video was a big help. Just from playing around with I think putting in a vice is a big help. Thumbs up and Thanks again!

[@johnd1645]

I had this sharpener for 2 years; best one I'VE used. I go back afterwards and use a flat file on the depth gauges again for that noodle effect. Be careful, the saw really grabs.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on John! Thank You...

[@jasonbusch3624]

I like it because it doesn't take your rakers down too far. If you take the rakers down too far you will loose chain speed and actually cut slower because it is bogging the saw down because it is grabbing too hard on the wood.

[@markproulx1472]

I bought a couple of these for my saws. They work well. They’re simple to use and do a credible job of sharpening.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Mark! Thank You...

[@alquinn3562]

New to chainsaws and wood cutting. I have this tool. Looks like I know what I’m doing. Sweet device

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Al! Thank You...

[@Crusty_Otter]

Same here. Just bought my first chainsaw last weekend, a Stihl MS-271 Farm Boss. Got a few downed trees that need clearing and thought, if I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars on a chainsaw, I want one I can depend on. The dealer didn't have a 2 in 1 in .325 for my saw but I'll be checking a different dealer in the next few days.

[@alquinn3562]

@@Crusty_Otter I got the 271 as well. Great saw!!!!

[@justsayin7937]

When you flip the saw do you have to also flip the sharpener over?

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is one of the best videos on this product. I think you came prepared.The video was clear, no body blocking. The close ups were great. Especially, the explanation on Skip Tooth, and Full House chains. No tears in my beer after watching this video. Thanks

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@marcfrost7175]

Great job steve, but what is pitch, I just don't know? Thanks for making it simple!

[@bendigr]

i'm glad to see these sharpeners catching on. I've been using them for a couple years now. It makes my chains better than a brand new chain!! i have a .375 and a .325 pitch sharpener

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...

[@idmhead0160]

@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Steve, I've been using one of these and it seems to work pretty well. I was using it with a Stihl chain. But, now I bought some Oregon chains. Same sizing and everything. I haven't tried it yet, but, I guess, I should still be able to use the Stihl chain sharpener with a different brand chain? I think on my last Stihl chain I wasn't pressing down hard enough on the flat file that lowers the depth.

[@mikedecker3035]

I've been fixing old saws as a hobby and sharpened hundreds of times. Sthil learn from your vedios, and love to watch them. My wife, not so much, says I need to go in a different room lol.THANKS for all the good info.

[@RussBearie]

Steve, I have really enjoyed many of your videos. You are a good communicator, direct, and comprehensive. No B.S. I bought and used this sharpener today, THEN I watched this video. You are right on the mark (as expected), this is a great tool. I am looking to get rid of my Oregon 520 because this $45 tool does a better job, with less hassle. Thank you!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Cool, thanks

[@tmackie1694]

Bought the sharpener the same day I bought my Stihl chainsaw. Really took away the intimidation factor for a newbie buying her first chainsaw :)

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Great to hear!

[@jeffcoulter7181]

I’ve had one of these for a few years now and really like it.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on

[@skoop1968]

Thank you for taking the time to show that sharpener. Will buy it. I have a question about operation. When I use my saw, 50: 1 oil to fuel mix, i get a half hour out if it running then it boggs down. No smoke coming out exhaust, could it be running lean and getting hot?

[@amyjones1640]

Hey Steve, greetings from Oklahoma. I'm a sevice tech for an echo dealership and I have a video topic suggestion. How about doing a video on reringing a 2 stroke engine like a weed eater? I see a lot of weed waters and other 2 stroke engines that could be saved by throwing a set of piston rings in but service cost being what they are at most shops that's cost prohibitive for the average home owner.

[@Nudnik1]

Echo excellent stuff. Saws good for money start easy cut good .

[@jasonbusch3624]

Usually the cylinders are scored so throwing rings in a scored plated cylinder is not worth the time or money.
