  Chainsaw sharpeners

I am tired of paying $6/chain for sharpening. I seem to be using a chainsaw much more than you would think for a 2 acre lot here in NY. We just had family day at my Mom's and took down several trees just cleaning up. I just bought this northerntools sharpener for $99. I have 3 chains that need sharpening right now. I'm sure I'll have to set aside a weekend to figure out how to properly do this. Its also a matter of convenience. It's harder all the time to find someone who will sharpen chains.

  Chainsaw sharpeners

I just spent the afternoon setting up my $99 Northerntools sharpener and learning how to sharpen my chain. I sharpened 3 chains, put one one the saw and did a trial run. Seemed to work quite well! So I am very satisfied with this sharpener so far. By the way I have an echo chainsaw with 3/8 pitch and .05 guage chain. It was no problem holding it in the vise.

So there are 3 angles to play with. About 30 degree for chain vise, 60 degree for top plate angle, and 10 degree "tilt" on the chain vise. But the chinese instructions don't tell you which way to "tilt". I did some googling and apparently the tilt is an uphill tilt from the back to the front of the tooth. Correct? So you kinda have to just use your judgement when choosing the direction of tilt as to what is meant by uphill. Or should I just play it safe and forget about the 10 degree tilt?

Thanks Ronald, that is a very understandable explanation!
