As a beginner to sharpening chain saws, I've pick up some valuable information watching you. I have struggled with hand sharpening but watching your video I'm feeling very confident that my problems are soon to be over. I'm ordering that tool today. Thankyou 👍👍👍👍👍
I love those bits. Ive bought several packs of different sizes and use them in my dremel for sharpening my chains. They come in different colors and different grits. They doake things easy
I have been using the diamond bits in my Dremel tool and am pleased with the results. One thing I have learned is that the rotation of the bit with respect to the tooth is important. Rotation should be such that the bit is grinding from the, "top-down". This makes a better cutting edge because it eliminated the feather rollover that occurs when the tool is grinding from the, "bottom-up". This is counter intuitive because one would normally want to grind bottom-up to keep the tool from rising up out of the gullet. Care must be taken to keep the tool in the gullet, but with these bits a very light touch is all that is needed. So developing technique has a small learning curve.
Hey Chris Got a ezz doo a couple weeks ago. Love it. Sharpened about 10 chains so far. Probably not recommended but I used it on my rakers, took em down just a bit. Soooo fast I love it!!
I have this! I sharpen all my chains. I have a friend that PAYS an average of $20 PER CHAIN to have a tractor-selling store that also sells chainsaws to sharpen his!!! Aaaaackk! Do it yourself, people! I leave mine on the saw, lock the bar, mark the beginning tooth and the last tooth with a sharpie, and file away BOTH directions while standing in front. It takes about 6 minutes for my 14" and 8 minutes for my 20" chains. Easy.
OK, I’m not going to ignore the elephant in the living room any longer, your sharpened chain looks terrible and I fast forwarded to the end to see if you had a demonstration of cutting after sharpening but you did not. There’s nothing wrong with grinders except this one would be a dealbreaker for me since it is not cordless. I would buy the bits and chuck them in a Dremel instead. Your teeth have no gullet.
You are right I have no idea what I am doing, I am just a beginner, I only have been cutting firewood now for 50 years and only cut, split and sell 600 face cords a year. I only shoot, edit and upload one video every day now for almost 2 years and have 700 videos on my channel showing everything about cutting splitting and selling firewood. SO I went to your channel to see how to do it right, as seen as I know nothing and I did not see any videos displaying your extensive knowledge, I did not see any videos, do you have another channel name that has all of your expertise for the world to critique? Thanks for watching and sharing your tips.
OK so you can add sarcasm to your long list of talents. All I’m saying is that with what you showed me on the video, those teeth will not efficiently cut firewood. I have been at it just as long as you have, and I know how to file a chain with a variety of methods and tools but I can tell you that a tooth that has no gullet and is sloping backwards will not cut well; just ask Bucking Billy Ray.
Well this was an interesting little tiff. I clicked on this comment because I had the same thought as did the other gentleman. You are loosing the gullet while you were filing. I’ve been using a grandberg 12 volt sharpener for about 15 years. I pretty much threw my files away. What I discovered and you probably have as well since this video is about a year old. You need down pressure to keep the gullet and about 20% of the bit above the top of the tooth. It all comes naturally after a few shapings. The reason I like the grandberg is they have threaded bits and the bits don’t slip out just like the problem you had. Long story short, I love sharpening with an electric sharpener. Fast, and very sharp. What I want to know is how the bits hold up? The diamond bits I’ve found were not aggressive enough for reshaping after hitting the ground or a nail. What do you think after a years use?
Another great video. You introduced me into the Dremel, thankyou very much, it cuts like buttah. You have now introduced me to the diamond crusted burr. My comment being 2 years after this video, may I ask, are you still using the diamond burrs or have you gone back to the stones? Thanks. Big Mike, tampa
I like my Oregon sharpener. It’s ability to be used from the any power outlet on a truck or side by side is great. Plus it comes with alligator clips so it can easily be run off of any battery out in the field.
I recently tried out using the dremel with those bits for my chains and i like it. Huge time saver. Only big learning curve i found is you gotta pay attention to the angles you hold it at and the right amount of manipulation or You could end up digging downward too deep or being too high into the tooth loosing the gullet. Great vids man! GNI!
At my place of work we use a CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) grinding wheels on our surface grinder. They are well worth the cost and far better than your standard abrasive grinding wheels.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I was surprised when you pulled out the EZZDOO out. Because I actually bought one of them a few months ago. I only had a 30 year old dremel that I was using. I also bought a bunch of different diamond titanium bits for it right away. Those bits are really nice compared to the stone bits. They don't plug up with metal and don't groove out in the middle. I really like mine so far. Take care and stay warm my friend!! TTYL!! Logger Al
I bought one of these, tried it for a half hour yesterday. I wasn’t that impressed, bent one of the bits right away. I can see see that I am going to have to play with this quite a bit, there is a learning curve.
I came back and watched this video now that I have used mine once, I don’t get the impression that my bits cut as well as what I saw here. Headed back out to the shop to try it again, I’ll let you know
I ran my chain into the ground for a good 20-30 seconds a few weeks ago and man did it chip/round off one side of teeth real bad. I sharpened it back a bit using my Stihl 2in1 but man it took awhile. This thing would have been zippy zip!! Thanks for posting Chris!
@@InTheWoodyard do you know if the 7/32” shanks fit into a regular Dremel arbor? Yes I’d imagine I would have been able to use and sharpen the chain quite a bit more had I not had to file 1/2 way back the tooth to get rid of the broken tooth’s
Forgot that I watched this before. Great to see it again! I've been Dremel sharpening my Chains for many years! I found it to be much faster and far more convenient than a hand file. I previously used one of several older model corded Dremels and generic mini-grinders. Then got a cordless Dremel 8220 w/ a backup Li-ion battery, so I've got plenty of power and run time w/o having to use or worry about a cord. I also found that although the cylindrical stone grinder bits worked okay, the diamond bits worked faster and lasted longer for about the same price.
Thanks Chris-my wife just bought one for me after i told her my neighbor had a file that he used and I wished there was an easier way! Looks like there is!
Chris, that would have been handy after the last couple of days. Working that creekline, i hit a lot of metal. Sharpening by hand took time out of my day. With an invertor, that would have made quick work! Great video on the EZZ DOO. Those diamond stones are not wallered out like the regular stones. Great demonstration!
Cool tool Chris , I used to work at an outdoor equipment dealer and sold the 12 volt Oregonians and bits . I may get one , I really like the diamond bits that are Available with it . Nice demonstration
68 Degrees here in Raleigh today , 11hours of daylight here after valentines and we pickup 2 minutes a day and only gets better after Valentine’s Day for those of us that work out side ! Time changes March 13th can’t hardly wait .
Two great advantages: you dont have to put the saw in a vice, you dont have to file from alternate sides, switching the blade around. So the advantage of this over the Dremel or similar is...
I've been touting the attributes of diamond bits and carbide chains ever since Stihl introduced their's a decade ago. Many high volume tree cutting companies use them for most of their cutting because they are so much easier to maintain.
I got the smoked firehouse saw 15 years ago or more and it’s got the hooked nose bar and the real carbide tipped chain… I adapted it to a different saw and on a 12” caliber tree I’ll just cut right into the ground and cut the three laterals and push the whole tree down… a 5 gallon bucket of dirt and seed and there’s no grinding of a stump… I’ve done 3’ diameter trees without a problem… I absolutely love kicking a piece of limerock that I’ve cut three inches into a I can still cut wood! For years I’ve used diamond hand files to resharpen! I just bought one of these jobbers with these little round burrs or wheels!!! These are better than they should be!
Chris I really like your Channel I feel you have more common sense than most people. Because of your Channel I've learnt about the Easton made log splitters been doing some research on them getting together the options I wanted went to order one yesterday and they have raised the prices on the 1222 $1,500 from their website they have updated the website now so if you're thinking about getting one the prices just went up.
Great job on this. Always great to see new things. Giving me something else to purchase however. Might be why my wife says I watch to much RUclips. I enjoy your video’s very much and it’s like checking on a friend to see what they are up to and I always learn something.
Thanks Jack, good to here! Tell your wife you are doing research so that you don't buy the wrong item and overspend on getting more stuff than you need!
Nice to see you got sent a product to try out. As we know you'll give it an honest review. I'd like to know if the longevity of the stones is that much better than the Oregon stones before I buy any. Keep us posted on that. Nice shout-out to Buck'n about getting the gullet! Dave
I use the same style 7/32” bits in my dremel. They work well, but do wear out just like the Oregon bits…just don’t take as much pressure to do the job. My wife’s not impressed that I’m buying gold and Diamond encrusted tools for working on my chainsaw. Oh and she’s always hitting me with the Pleezzzdo list.🤣
An ice storm came through last week causing downed trees all over the city. I used my saw that was getting dull on them helping neighbors. So, instead of getting a new blade I’ll just try the EzzDoo, save a few bucks by avoiding replacing the blade a few times and let the EzzDoo pay for itself. Blades are about half as much as the EzzDoo itself, and I really like how fast the blade can be sharpened. Pretty good demonstration and it was right on time. Winter isn’t over just yet. 😉
Almost looks like you're using a 7/32 bit for 3/8 saw chain on 0.254 chain which is giving that ski ramp shape. Maybe it's just not hitting the bottom of the gullet causing that effect. I just bought a kit to go with my Milwaukee rotary / Dremel style tool. Probably should have just bought the bits. But just looking at technique. I think it'll just take some time probably similar to you using this tool which appears to be for the first time for you as well. I did a test run and I don't think my diamond bits cut as deep as those look like they're doing. Chain cut ok, but definitely not as good as hand filling so I've got some work to do still on this method. I just bought a cheap kit off eBay. I have since gone and gotten the Oregon bits to try them next. Appreciate your video!
So there is a real reason why i sub to ur channel Chris i just watched another video sslfamilydad working with the same new saw sharpener. Ur video so much more detailed he never even says bout the diamond stones and his camera bounces around lol keep up the great vids loce ya mean it gni
I know this video is a year old but felt obligated to make my first comment Chris. You are definitely no dummy by any measure ... you were simply ignorant in this situation (LMFAO). You have and awesome channel brother ... respect is earned ... and you have it in spades. Tight chains ... and always get the gullet when sharpening. For the record, looks like you file the rakers differently on each side (at least on this chain). SO ... keep the dremel and buy the diamond bits.
the same Chainsaw Sharpening Attachment, is sold without the rotary tool, but with the bits, for as little as $3.99 on Amazon..... for anyone who does not want to buy another dremel/rotary tool.... and do not want to make a RUclips video, so they can get it for free lol
@@InTheWoodyard I just ordered several different bit sets a couple of long diamond files and one of these kits… I’ve used the Hong Kong diamond longer files for the past 7-8 years instead of regular files because they cut both directions so you can lock your wrist and saw the tooth sharp.. three files in 7/32… 50-150-300 grit… I use the 300 every other tank to run around the chain and stay razor sharp!!! These together will be perfect!!! My fire rescue carbide chain lots me cut out stumps!!! It’s awesome
@@InTheWoodyard I’m really kinda excited to see how they will handle running at a full carbide tipped chain??? It’s usually about $50 bucks apiece to have these sharpened because the company runs the diamond wheel… I was just looking and it’s a chunk of carbide on the cutter tooth and it’s rake is normal steel so I’ll be able to use the normal mill file to hit the rakes! If it’s a big stump and get about one done per chain sharpen…and if you dull them down completely then it’s a really nightmare to hand file these back to razor sharp… so I’m super hopeful that this little gizmo knocks them back to sharp!!! 😂👍. Can you please tell the company that I’d be more than happy to make a video too for a free unit!!! Dude!!! You hit a lick on that deal!!! And you definitely have made a very good and honest and straight forward video!!! Anyone who doesn’t see how much faster you were able to sharpen up your chain with this unit over a regular file doesn’t do much hand sharpening!!! Excellent video,Sir!!!
Not at all downing things It's a glorified Dremel Since I own a Dremel I got the kit for it does not cost much does exactly the same thing just don't have the diamond sharpener in the kit although it can be gotten for it latter These kits off Amazon are useful but some times we like to use what we have to save a few bucks Some that works for me and can be for some one else I do apologize if it sounds negative
Taking a lot of material off. Defiantly not for me. I use a cordless version for touch ups which is a lot slower and less powerful but I don’t have to worry about loosing 1/3 of my tooth. Hahah
Nice video 👍 I'm a hand file guy but this grinder is impressive. Seems to be getting harder to find files that are good quality lately. So maybe I should try the ezz doo. Thanks for the heads up 👍😎
The difference between a normally sharp chain and cat-claw sharp is staggering. Normal sharp lasts one tank. Cat-claw sharp lasts a good two tanks of fuel.
Looks like a good tool. I could be wrong but I think you're grinding off more than you need to. Also it doesn't appear you're always holding it at the same angle. Probably sharp though. 👍🏼
I'm sold Chris....Great demo and I'm changing to diamond bits thanks to you!!.....Question, how do you fix a saw that is cutting left to right or right to left?? Maybe another video!!......Thanks for the honest review.
you have to sharpen all the teeth on the right side from heel to toe and move to the other side of the saw and sharpen the left side heel to toe . do not sharpen all the teeth from the same side of the saw
It feels like your taking an alot of metal off each tooth for just 1 sharpening! You'll be replacing that chain after 1 more sharpening using that thing
Great video like always Chris and thanks for the demo and that was cool of eezzdoo to send you that I've been checking them out on Amazon and thinking on getting on now I know 👍 and I was thinking on getting the 12 volt Oregon one for in the bush 👍
You know there was nothing like this on the market when I used to sharpen the old Lombard's, McCulloch's and Homelite's. We had nothing but wrist action back then. But of course we were concentrating more on walking into the woods in three feet of snow uphill both ways.......you know the deal. Say hello to Irene for me.
Chris, you do not have an angle guide attachment on. Do you find that freehand provides sufficient accuracy? I am thinking of using my cordless Dremel; I could buy a Dremel attachment and stones or these diamond ones. I used an Oregon Sure Sharp battery operated gizmo yesterday and I liked it except that the sharpening stone gizmo kept coming out even when tightened well. Heck with that, maybe it's worn out, I bought it used. Lastly, do you still like these diamond ones or the Oregon stone ones better?
To be the first QR code in the instructions, I would’ve preferred to see how to select the right bit and use the “angel” attachment. Nice unboxing video, though…
Can you imagine Chris’ commentary if he was your dentist? Oh, that’s a nasty looking 🦷…here we go…I’ll just mark it with my pink marker first. Okay, it’s not taking much pressure and there’re no sparks. You’ll be sharpened up and chewing on Brats and beans in no time.
I think I'm going to order this tool. Is it still a recommend and how do you manage to answer all these comments from past vids and still have a life? You seem extremely busy.
Have you ever used a skip tooth chain? The guy at the saw shop gave me one to try on my 455, I was amazed how much faster it cut on that particular saw. I plan to try one on my 372xp to see if it makes any real difference on it. I watch your channel every day, keep up with the great videos...
Another gret video, This one did not cost me as much as the Fiskars video you and Tony made. lol I ordered it yesterday hopefully it will get here today. Have you thought of opening an Amazon Store? you can make $$ with that..
Yea but, I find it oddly satisfying to hand file a semi chisel chain... Doesn't take long and when the saw throws a monster plume of chips, ahh... nothin better. IMO...
Chris you're such a bad influence, first it was the chaps, then the helmet, then the wedges, then the splitter and as of today the EZZDOO Sharpener. It's all made processing firewood so much easier and faster. Oh I forgot to mention the influence to pursue the best priced wood "FREE" that has been rolling in over the past month, you have enlightened me to process firewood.
It is the camera wide angle lens that distorts it...I am consistent in the correct angle and it is NOT 90 degrees.....it is the same angle as the witness marks on each tooth. It is actually recommended to be between 25&35 degrees (most use 30 degrees as the standard)
Chris nice video!! What kind of chains do you use? I assume Oregon since your running the bars? It seems all serious would people change their bars to Oregon bars for some reason? I don’t know why that is do you know why that is? I guess they’re better than stihl or Husqvarna?
The apparatus the bit fits into and is tightened is called the “collet”, if anyone cares😊
Yes! Thanks, I could not remember it!

What I like is they keep their shape ...so far.
That Ezzydoo …. I mean Ezzdoo worked great!!🤣 Those bits are the real deal. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻GNI

The frame rate/rotation of the bit sync is really cool. Like those vids you see of planes flying but the prop is still.
that's a neat effect
I did that! HA!
Yes it was!
I use both a grinder and files. When I rock a chain badly the grinder comes out. For less serious touch ups I'll usually file.
Sounds like a good system...keep cutting!
I like to have 1 too I already see best way to sharpen chainsaw chain. Like it Chris. Good video. Have a great day be safe.
Thanks, you too!
I use the same style 7/32” bits in my dremel. They work well, but do wear out just like the Oregon bits…just don’t take as much pressure to do the job. My wife’s not impressed that I’m buying gold and Diamond encrusted tools for working on my chainsaw. Oh and she’s always hitting me with the Pleezzzdo list.🤣
The pleeezzzdo list is not on my agenda. But she does the cooking so...
Lol
HA! She can have the used ones for jewelry!
@@InTheWoodyard that's probable not going to work.
@@thefirewooddoctor here in NC. We call it Honey do list 🥴
Chris, I have one also, I just love it! Thank you for that video!
Cool!
Nicely done Chris.. I may look into this as I get towards cutting more.. Currently I am hand filing and I am getting really good at it too..
Yup, the more you do anything the better you get at it!
An ice storm came through last week causing downed trees all over the city. I used my saw that was getting dull on them helping neighbors. So, instead of getting a new blade I’ll just try the EzzDoo, save a few bucks by avoiding replacing the blade a few times and let the EzzDoo pay for itself. Blades are about half as much as the EzzDoo itself, and I really like how fast the blade can be sharpened.
Pretty good demonstration and it was right on time. Winter isn’t over just yet. 😉
Thanks for watching Everett!
Blade? CHAIN.
i'll definitely be looking for some of these bits! i have quite a few dremels already! great vid chris!
Go for it!
Hey Chris nice video. The only thing I was waiting for you to get out and try the experiment by cutting some logs after sharpening the chain.
Great point!
@@InTheWoodyard by the way Chris you have the best firewood 🪵🔥 channel out there and I follow about 5 of them.
Chris, you should call them for a discount for your viewers! I would buy one!
That would be cool!
Almost looks like you're using a 7/32 bit for 3/8 saw chain on 0.254 chain which is giving that ski ramp shape. Maybe it's just not hitting the bottom of the gullet causing that effect.
I just bought a kit to go with my Milwaukee rotary / Dremel style tool. Probably should have just bought the bits. But just looking at technique. I think it'll just take some time probably similar to you using this tool which appears to be for the first time for you as well. I did a test run and I don't think my diamond bits cut as deep as those look like they're doing. Chain cut ok, but definitely not as good as hand filling so I've got some work to do still on this method. I just bought a cheap kit off eBay. I have since gone and gotten the Oregon bits to try them next. Appreciate your video!
Yup, the Oregon stone bits work better.
Quite possibly the best short stroke I’ve ever seen
Haaa!
So there is a real reason why i sub to ur channel Chris i just watched another video sslfamilydad working with the same new saw sharpener. Ur video so much more detailed he never even says bout the diamond stones and his camera bounces around lol keep up the great vids loce ya mean it gni
Thanks for the kind words Ed!
I know this video is a year old but felt obligated to make my first comment Chris. You are definitely no dummy by any measure ... you were simply ignorant in this situation (LMFAO). You have and awesome channel brother ... respect is earned ... and you have it in spades. Tight chains ... and always get the gullet when sharpening. For the record, looks like you file the rakers differently on each side (at least on this chain). SO ... keep the dremel and buy the diamond bits.
Thanks for that and thanks for watching Barry!
the same Chainsaw Sharpening Attachment, is sold without the rotary tool, but with the bits, for as little as $3.99 on Amazon.....
for anyone who does not want to buy another dremel/rotary tool.... and do not want to make a RUclips video, so they can get it for free lol
Yes they are available at saw shops too!
Those bits look freaking awesome!!! That’s fast!!!
They do work good!
@@InTheWoodyard I just ordered several different bit sets a couple of long diamond files and one of these kits… I’ve used the Hong Kong diamond longer files for the past 7-8 years instead of regular files because they cut both directions so you can lock your wrist and saw the tooth sharp.. three files in 7/32… 50-150-300 grit… I use the 300 every other tank to run around the chain and stay razor sharp!!! These together will be perfect!!! My fire rescue carbide chain lots me cut out stumps!!! It’s awesome
@@InTheWoodyard hey buddy… I like your channel too!!!
@@InTheWoodyard I’m really kinda excited to see how they will handle running at a full carbide tipped chain??? It’s usually about $50 bucks apiece to have these sharpened because the company runs the diamond wheel… I was just looking and it’s a chunk of carbide on the cutter tooth and it’s rake is normal steel so I’ll be able to use the normal mill file to hit the rakes! If it’s a big stump and get about one done per chain sharpen…and if you dull them down completely then it’s a really nightmare to hand file these back to razor sharp… so I’m super hopeful that this little gizmo knocks them back to sharp!!! 😂👍. Can you please tell the company that I’d be more than happy to make a video too for a free unit!!! Dude!!! You hit a lick on that deal!!! And you definitely have made a very good and honest and straight forward video!!! Anyone who doesn’t see how much faster you were able to sharpen up your chain with this unit over a regular file doesn’t do much hand sharpening!!! Excellent video,Sir!!!
I have a timber tuff 12v sharpener I like it because you can sharpen your saw anywhere
Yup.
How’d it cut?? Let’s see a vid after it was sharpened. Love the vids 🙌🏼
You will soon, I cut a big pile with the saws I sharpened with it.
Not at all downing things
It's a glorified Dremel
Since I own a Dremel I got the kit for it does not cost much does exactly the same thing just don't have the diamond sharpener in the kit although it can be gotten for it latter
These kits off Amazon are useful but some times we like to use what we have to save a few bucks Some that works for me and can be for some one else
I do apologize if it sounds negative
No worries, I have 4 Dremels too, they all work great!
Taking a lot of material off. Defiantly not for me. I use a cordless version for touch ups which is a lot slower and less powerful but I don’t have to worry about loosing 1/3 of my tooth. Hahah
It took a lot off because the teeth were really bad, normally I just touch it up a bit.
at my country this diamond bit cost me 3 dollar for 12 pieces. connected it to my air die grinder and work done. cheap and easy
Good to hear!
It's a Dremel tool. They were made in Wisconsin back in the day.
No, it is an eez doo, Dremel is a different company and they are also made in China now.
I use a milwaukee die grinder with those diamond sharpeners ,works great..
Yup, way faster easier and better than a old file!
Nice video 👍
I'm a hand file guy but this grinder is impressive. Seems to be getting harder to find files that are good quality lately. So maybe I should try the ezz doo. Thanks for the heads up 👍😎
Be careful you might get converted!!
You know it is the 21st century?
I ordered one from Amazon and wow ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The teeth are beyond cat claw sharp. The 500I never cut so good.
Good to hear! Hope you enjoy it!
Sharp chains are great just like your videos, Chris!
The difference between a normally sharp chain and cat-claw sharp is staggering. Normal sharp lasts one tank. Cat-claw sharp lasts a good two tanks of fuel.
Yes, some times or until you hit a rock!
Thanks other Chris!
Looks like a good tool. I could be wrong but I think you're grinding off more than you need to. Also it doesn't appear you're always holding it at the same angle. Probably sharp though. 👍🏼
Yup, maybe so. And yes they are sharp.
Thanks for the video. You should be keeping the Cutter parallel with that little Line on the back of the Tooth.
Yup, I do.
I'm sold Chris....Great demo and I'm changing to diamond bits thanks to you!!.....Question, how do you fix a saw that is cutting left to right or right to left?? Maybe another video!!......Thanks for the honest review.
If you have a saw cutting crooked your not sharpening one side as well as the other....usually.
@@InTheWoodyard Thanks Chris!!
you have to sharpen all the teeth on the right side from heel to toe and move to the other side of the saw and sharpen the left side heel to toe . do not sharpen all the teeth from the same side of the saw
According to reviews on Amazon the bur is only good for one or two sharpenings.
I get 6-8 depending on the tooth condition
Nice vid man but why no links in the description of the tool bits and brushes ?
Sorry, try google.
That’s an awesome tool to use especially the bit
I works good.
Way much better, not heating up cutter tooth like the stone did..👍👍
It seems so!
It feels like your taking an alot of metal off each tooth for just 1 sharpening! You'll be replacing that chain after 1 more sharpening using that thing
It was an older chain with bad damage to show the tool working, on a quick touch up I do not do much to it.
Great video like always Chris and thanks for the demo and that was cool of eezzdoo to send you that I've been checking them out on Amazon and thinking on getting on now I know 👍 and I was thinking on getting the 12 volt Oregon one for in the bush 👍
Go for it!
You know there was nothing like this on the market when I used to sharpen the old Lombard's, McCulloch's and Homelite's. We had nothing but wrist action back then. But of course we were concentrating more on walking into the woods in three feet of snow uphill both ways.......you know the deal. Say hello to Irene for me.
Yup, I used to walk though that same snow to school as a kid for 5 miles up hill both ways every day!
GOD bless you good video my like 👍🏼 ok from Guatemala 🇬🇹
Thank you very much!
Chris, you do not have an angle guide attachment on. Do you find that freehand provides sufficient accuracy? I am thinking of using my cordless Dremel; I could buy a Dremel attachment and stones or these diamond ones. I used an Oregon Sure Sharp battery operated gizmo yesterday and I liked it except that the sharpening stone gizmo kept coming out even when tightened well. Heck with that, maybe it's worn out, I bought it used. Lastly, do you still like these diamond ones or the Oregon stone ones better?
No guide necessary, Oregon bits.
To be the first QR code in the instructions, I would’ve preferred to see how to select the right bit and use the “angel” attachment. Nice unboxing video, though…
Thanks for the tip!
I have been teaching myself how to flat file by hand and wow my saw rips
That is good!
Dremel has had that out already. A lot cheaper to add the the chain saw sharper guide to it.
Yup, I have 4 of them also! They all work great!
The chain does cut faster when the sharpening bit is turning into the blade in my testing
okay.
I guess you will know how to sharpen a chain with all these experts looking over your shoulder.
Haha
Yup, lots of arm chair players!
I ordered some bits to try. Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching!
Can you imagine Chris’ commentary if he was your dentist? Oh, that’s a nasty looking 🦷…here we go…I’ll just mark it with my pink marker first. Okay, it’s not taking much pressure and there’re no sparks. You’ll be sharpened up and chewing on Brats and beans in no time.
You read my mind!!!
YyÿÿÿÿI

Q
When sharpening with this , how do you know if the chain is evenly sharpened on every tooth? Definitely like this!
Even does not matter sharpness does.
Wow that thing works really great! I would definitely have to be super careful or I’d grind the teeth totally off my chain! 😆
No, you would figure it out, I did and I am the dumbest guy I know.
Good morning Chris, that bit looks like the cats meow!
It does work....so far.
I think I'm going to order this tool. Is it still a recommend and how do you manage to answer all these comments from past vids and still have a life? You seem extremely busy.
Thanks for watching...firewood, trapping , hunting and youtube are my life!
I think I've been using a bit too small for the tooth.
Maybe so, check it at a pro saw shop to be sure.
Have you ever used a skip tooth chain? The guy at the saw shop gave me one to try on my 455, I was amazed how much faster it cut on that particular saw. I plan to try one on my 372xp to see if it makes any real difference on it. I watch your channel every day, keep up with the great videos...
No, but my brother Ken has and he was not impressed.
for 24" bar setups on the 372xp we use skip chains, not only for keeping rpms up but when you cut trees for a living its far less sharpening lmao.
I like this Tool. Nice Job Chris.
It does work well!
Id love too have a few of those bits!!!
Order them on Amazon.
Another gret video, This one did not cost me as much as the Fiskars video you and Tony made. lol I ordered it yesterday hopefully it will get here today. Have you thought of opening an Amazon Store? you can make $$ with that..
Yup, it is on my to do list!
Thank you very much for your videos.
All the best 🙏
Thank you Robert!
Hi Cris,i only have a manual file,i thought about an electric one,but i only cut wood for myself,so a get a couple years out of a chain.works for me
That is all you need then!
Good video. Would like to have seen you show how to use the angle guide attachment.
I use it as it should be ...with out it. I tried it and I do not like it. Many others have told me the same thing.
Yea but, I find it oddly satisfying to hand file a semi chisel chain...
Doesn't take long and when the saw throws a monster plume of chips, ahh... nothin better.
IMO...
Yea but, it takes a lot of time and if you are sharpening 3 or 4 saws at a time it takes a lot of time AND energy that could be put into cutting more.
Chris you're such a bad influence, first it was the chaps, then the helmet, then the wedges, then the splitter and as of today the EZZDOO Sharpener. It's all made processing firewood so much easier and faster. Oh I forgot to mention the influence to pursue the best priced wood "FREE" that has been rolling in over the past month, you have enlightened me to process firewood.
Thanks for watching!
I still like the Milwaukee 12v variable speed rotary tool for almost all of my chain maintenance.
They do make nice stuff but they did not send me one to use....yet.
@@InTheWoodyard sometimes it's worth it to buy what you need instead of waiting for someone to give it to you. 😆
What's your thoughts on these bits and the grinder now 9 months later?
I prefer the Oregon stone bits better.
In one direction your sharpener bit is perfectly 90 deg as it should. The other direction you are very noticeably at an angel!!
It is the camera wide angle lens that distorts it...I am consistent in the correct angle and it is NOT 90 degrees.....it is the same angle as the witness marks on each tooth. It is actually recommended to be between 25&35 degrees (most use 30 degrees as the standard)
Chris nice video!! What kind of chains do you use? I assume Oregon since your running the bars? It seems all serious would people change their bars to Oregon bars for some reason? I don’t know why that is do you know why that is? I guess they’re better than stihl or Husqvarna?
Cheaper! That is it. The Husqvarna chains are awesome, just cost more.
Cool tool! Thanks for the demo! -Brad
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff Chris 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
You should just get brushless tools in general they last a lot longer
Yup, good call!
How can you keep the chain teeth with this. Meaning all the same length? That kind of defeats the prupose.
I don't. They do not need to be the same length to cut great. But the rakers do.
Idk about the tool... I already have 2 tools for the job. But the bits are impressive! No chunky wear like the Oregon stones
Yes they seem to work out well....so far.
