Here's what I use: Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener |Sharpen Your Chainsaw
I bought it last spring and only used it for the first time today. It worked *great*. Quick and easy. Each tooth sharpened exactly the same. I don't like the Dremel or electric drill bits because you never get the angle just right. And it's difficult to use an electric sharpener out in the field.
From just the pictures it looks clumsy and time consuming. On dial-up and have called up the video. I will be a hard sell though. I use one of the clamp on jigs that sets all the angles for the file. Takes about 10 minutes per 20" loop counting the set up time. Results in every tooth identical and no need to payi any attention at all except to advance the chain.
I don't like electric grinders - too easy to both overheat a tooth and/or grind too much.
