    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    These are the same as the ones available on ebay ($56 buy now) or crazysales.com.au for $48.

    However, they are not very good, in fact, unless you only sharpen a few chains a year they are very poor quality and simply will not last. They are 90% plastic and are so badly made they will not reproduce the required angles properly. They hold the chain inconsistently when sharpening the left, and then the right hand cutters, and need significant re-adajustment when switching from left to right hand cutters. They will only hold a few short chains before they start to wear out. The guys buying these in the US had to basically rebuild them to get them to work right.

    BTW you can get a lot of files for $50 and you can't take a 220V sharpener into the bush with you.

    I used to have a USB attachment for my microscope for engraving. It was great fun for all sorts of things!
