CHAINSAW SHARPENING TOOLS

Chainsaw Sharpening Tools

Match a grinding wheel to a saw-chain grinder

Start from the grinder manual and verify the wheel specification for the exact machine and chain.

Identify the grinder model

Read the model plate and manual for the permitted wheels. An offer that names another machine of the same brand can still have a different wheel bore, diameter or installation requirement.

Compare the working dimensions

Check outside diameter, bore and wheel thickness as separate values. Compare the wheel type and rated speed against the grinder’s approved parts, and check which wheel profile is specified for the chain.

Check what kind of part is offered

A grinding wheel shapes the cutter when set up for the chain. A dressing brick and contour template serve separate purposes. Check the manual for the approved dressing procedure and the exact accessories supplied with the grinder.
