This kind gadget I bought in this week, quite cheap to buy ( 32,90 USD ) and seems to do good job... least better to Me in hand file.. :ashamed:

They work well, have an Oregon sharpner, easy to take to much.

Seems to be so, both tooths on chain are similar... hard to get that by hand especially if chain are damaged...

Be careful -- the cheap ones usually have enough slop that they can easily ruin a chain! They are not repeatable, so you can't get the same sharpening from cutter to cutter.

For an accurate and repeatable resharpening, a TimberLine is your best bet. I use mine in the field (with a bar vise) all the time.

Yes.. I notice that but it makes also sharpening work flexible, just take what needed... nothing more..

I use one too. They're worth the money.

They ship worldwide too. No reason not to have one even if you don't live in the USA. Mine really works well, you only remove as much tooth as necessary.

That's true! A friend bought a cheap one from Princess Auto when it was on sale and one immediate improvement was made by replacing the loosey goosey pivot shaft with a bolt that was a very close fit. We also did a bit of grinding on one piece to give it a larger radius to allow the chain to pass over it more smoothly.
