Ok but xyz123 is the guy who wants to see the sharpener, I'm satisfied with the one I have.......
Yes sometimes more than others........
He just has me intrigued to see what a half million dollar sharpen looks like. I know my buddy has 5 sharpeners and that any good stihl dealer have too and are 15,000 new and around 10,000 used. I just think somebody is blowing smoke up someones

Now i have a new STHIL chain on it but now nothing to cut. My dealer has two 1/2 million dollar chainsaw chain sharping systems, charges $8 dollars a chain takes about a minuet to do sharping.))))))

I think whats going on is happysawer was like the guy in this video at the beginning, he couldn't figure out how to sharpen his chain and became the un-happysawer so he started taken his saw chains to the half million dollar sharpener shop.
These square chain sharpeners I thought was expensive but still at $1-1,500.00, one could buy quite a few of them for half million. I like to go into square sharpening but Granberg is all I can afford for now on only 20 cord/year, I'll just keep it on my wish list.....
Kinda long video but interesting...
Square Grinding Tutorial! How to Sharpen Chain with a Simington 451c - YouTube
Pro Sharp Square Chisel Grinder
Simington 451 C Square Chisel Chain Grinder With Stand
I had silvey for square. The early version that they sold to simington.
USG for round.
I still file by hand for my own stuff. Unless there is a ton of chains lined up.
Can see both in this one pic. I only had $700 in both bought used separately.
I hardly ever file anymore, I need something with a motor on it. I tried a cheap Timber Tuff bar mount but had poor results, might be ok on a chain thats been rocked. I tried the more pricey Timber line and not happy with that either, the chain link holder is not high enough so chain rivets tend to ride on top of holder, resulting in chain link movement and carbide binding but only on teeth points facing me, the teth pointing away the carbide wont jamb

You are wrong i had never sharpened a chainsaw chain i wanted my chain sharpened so i had my dealer do it cost $8 dollars, my dealer showed me the new glass in closed machine a large machine like you see the CNC machines, service guy told me they had two and cost 500K each, i know nothing about these machines or do i know anything about their costs just saying what i was told.
Next time i am at my dealesr shop i will take a picture of his chain sharping machine

Now after watching many chain sharping videos i ordered the small Oregon chain sharping kit and the Oregon Bar holding device, and will be doing my own sharping.
I hope i have cleared up any misunderstandings.

At $8 a chain, it would take 62,500 chains to pay for each machine. Just doesn't make sense. Maybe it's a CNC machine that he does other stuff with as well? That's the only way it would make sense.
