How To Use A Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener On Older Chain (Best Sharpener Ever!)
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 04. 2022
- The Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener is an amazing tool that creates extremely sharp cutters with ease. The best part is that it does not require electricity and is compact and light weight. Watch to see how easy it is to setup and use. I called Timberline Chainsaw Sharpeners and was met with an actual human on the other end! We had a lengthy conversation and then he helped me determine which carbide cutters I would need and asked if I would like any other accessories. What a pleasant experience. #chainsaw #stihlusa #stihl

I have watched several videos for this jig and yours is the only one with details on how to "true up an OLD chain" to get the most life out of the chain. Thank you!!!!!
@Brian Craft you are very welcome. I am so glad you found it helpful. I also found the same ole same ole videos of someone sharpening practically brand new chain. ~Mr. C.
thank you i learned a lot you took time to show it the right way
@Atul Lad you are very welcome. I am glad you found it useful. I still really like the sharpener. Thanks for watching and letting me know. ~Mr. C.
very informative. Thank you
@Leon Taylor you are very welcome. I love this thing. It is very precise. looks like a nice load of wood you loaded on your trailer. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.
Great video, very helpful. I am a new user of the Timberline and I love it. Broke my first carbide trying to force it in... nice to see the tip on loosing it a bit then creeping back up to it 1/4 turn at a time.
@Serge thank you so much for the kind comment. Glad to help. So far so good on the sharpener. Still love it! ~Mr. C.
Great video & well explained on how that sharpener works 👌👍.
@David statham thank you for the kind comment. I am still enjoying the sharpener. ~Mr. C.
Nice video, and well explained on how to use this sharpener.
@Wincer Tactical thank you so much for the kind comments. Much appreciated! ~Mr. C.
I think you did a great job of explaining how to use that tool, and to be able to troubleshoot a chain that has different size teeth. I’ve always hand filed my saws blades,because of CZcams have learned to correct some of my errors and also realize a few years ago that I need to file down my rakers 😮 I might think about buying that sharpener or using the steel 2 one first to see how that does. Next time I sharpen my chain that is older, I am definitely going to try the caliper approach. Thanks for putting that video out!
@Joe Huber thank you for such a wonderful comment. I would love to hear your thoughts and experience on the 2 in 1. There is some controversy over the equal length cutters. Some say it doesn't matter some say otherwise. I say it won't hurt to get them close for consistency but I can be very wrong. Thoughts? As long as I am running a saw and it's making chips I am happy. Sounds like a cool video idea. Happy sawing! ~Mr. C.

Soon as I buy the steel two and one sharpener and try it out, I will definitely let you know what I think of it. I hear what you’re saying long as there are big wood chips flying out of back of the saw I’m happy too and also if the chainsaw goes through the wood quick enough lol. OK take care for now. Look forward to your next newest video.
Joe,
Very well done sir! I am awaiting delivery of my Timberline and this was a welcome video into the proper use of this tool. Thank You Sir!
@michaelkay9442 that is awesome! I know it is pricey but I think you will like it. My "friend" will be making a how to for the Timberline soon. Stay tuned to my "friends" channel (see below) for when that will be available. Thanks for watching and letting me know. ~Mr. C.

@@NaturesCadenceFarm I received my Timberline yesterday and sharpened both my chainsaws with it. Very easy to set up and use. I cut up a cherry tree on our property today, wow what a difference! I have been hand sharpening for quite a few years and thought I was doing a good job. The Timberline showed this old dog a new trick! I don't think the chains were this sharp when they were new. Color this old guy impressed! Timberline has a new fan here!
@michaelkay9442 I am so glad you like it. I say it's better than factory when I get done with the chains. Congratulations! ~Mr. C.
Excellent presentation. I have one of these Timberline cutters. Timberline is really good to use if you are out in the forest. When I'm at home, I use the regular hand files because I'm really good at it but this is still a really good tool.👍🏿
@Patrick Poulard we really appreciate you taking time to let us know how you like the sharpener. Excellent tip on bringing it to the woods with you. Happy sawing! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm Thank you. 😊👍🏿
I've straightened out all my old rocked "hopeless" chains using my Timberline sharpener. The one thing I can say is to take small cuts or else you'll chip the carbide burr trying to remove too much in a single pass.
@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 that is awesome. I appreciate you sharing you observations regarding the amount to remove each pass to preserve the carbide burr. Thanks for watching and sharing! ~Mr. C.
I need one of these!
@restoreleaguehouse you do! I love the sharpener. Still going strong and I use it very regularly. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.
❤thanks
@michaelcale272 you are very welcome. ~Mr. C.
Good work！
@Nina Zeng thanks! ~Mr. C.

Great video. I bought my Timberline sharpener in about 2013. It's still new because I've never been patient enough to learn the setup. I noticed you have a split tension pawl where each half flips up separately. Mine has one solid tensioner.
@AP-xq3jm it's not too bad once you do it a few times. They must have made an upgrade to the pawl. It is nice to flip the other pawl out of the way when the tooth gets short. Thanks for watching and sharing. ~Mr. C.
i bought mine in 2016, love it. I see there are spin off from the timberline sharpen unit. Ill stay with ,make in Idaho USA
@don hank nice to hear it has lasted for you. Thanks for sharing! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm I take care of my tools
Those types of sharpeners have been around some years ive used the majority of sharpeners but while sawing I touched them up during my cutting with the basic file an flat guide It only takes a couple minutes to touch up
@Michael Willcutt good deal. Thanks for the input. Do you touch the cutters up with one swipe every fill up or do you wait until they start to get a little dull? ~Mr. C.
I enjoyed your video, but one question I have is what about the raker touth do you file it
@Duane that is correct you file it. I will make a video soon about filing the raker (aka depth gauge) back. I have provided a link below for the tool to do it. Thank you so much for commenting! If you have any other questions feel free to ask. ~Mr. C.

What do you do about the depth of cut tooth in front of the cutting tooth? As it wears and you sharpen the cutting tooth, the bite of cut gets less and less. This tool does not address filing it off at the same time.
@Hunterworks Inc. you are absolutely correct. I touch up the rakers with a gauge and file like the ones in the links provided below. There are other options that work just as well or better. I am using the Husqvarna gauge lately and it works great. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Mr. C.
Oregon gauge and file: amzn.to/3iJPX47

@Hunterworks Inc. I got so excited talking about sharpening chain and chainsaw talk in general I forgot to tell you thank you for your amazing videos on clutches. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making and posting videos. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm Thank you, I like this tool but think I might get the Stihl 2 in1 to try. 54 years old and never sharpened a chain, buy new or let local dealer do it, they murdered the last chain and nothing done to the rakers
Why didnt you tighten the center block against the chain link to remove all shake and rattle from the cutting?
Each link should be t
@CatDragonWrangler excellent observation. I do on sloppy bars with major time on them. This bar was pretty good. I find it to be a little finicky most of the time. Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.
I can sharpen with a file. Have done it for many years. Bought a Timberline and i am very happy with it. No more files for me.
@chris miner so glad you like it. I am still enjoying using mine! Thanks for letting us know. ~Mr. C.
I got that same make and model
@danielm1296 excellent. I really like mine. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.

How does the quality and function of the timberline compair to the $30 sharpeners on Amazon? They look nearly identical.
@seairis616 they do not compare. The Timberline is superior in every way. I made a new video showing actually testing the two (see below). The knockoff did not have enough travel to sharpen teeth that were worn over half of their life. The pawl block just falls out of the chassis. Thanks for watching and asking! ~Mr. C.

Dang, that's an old fan
@Shelton Smith yes it is. I found it in the trash and put a new motor in it and then rewired the internals and put a new cord and plug on. First time I started it up I was blown away. That thing moves some air. For more information like the model number check out the link below. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Mr. C.

With absolutely no disrespect intended sir. I have literally watched 100s of videos on sharpeners and I've noticed some that give rave reviews are either sponsored or given the tool for a possible good review. I work on saws and honestly I can sharpen manually but it's not consistent on every tooth. I want better for my customers so I'll ask do you honestly believe in this product and recommend it for everyday use. Thank you.
@Mike Bradford no disrespect taken. Well put and respectfully asked questions. I will give you the low down. Here we go... I purchased this item myself the only thing that was given to me was a 10 percent discount. The only requirement for the discount was to give an absolutely honest review of the sharpener. I respect a company that says that. I honestly believe in the product but would not recommend it for EVERYDAY use on customer chains. Let me explain. To make life easier it really helps to start with a new chain. If you don't have a new chain it should be put on a grinder to true up the cutter length and angles. I have worn out my original aluminum bushings but have sharpened maybe 50 times with it. I think they wore out prematurely because I was using it to fix older junk chains that should have been put in the grinder first. I am going to get the brass insert bushings very soon. In closing. I still love it. It makes chain consistant, sharp, and is easy to carry and use. Thanks for watching and asking! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm Thank you very much for your response. I'm a disabled vet trying to make a little bit of extra money on the side by working on chainsaws mechanically and sharpening chains. I'm sure there are allot of people out there with that God given gift of sharpening with a chain file and create that perfect angle. Unfortunately I'm not one of those, that's why I was asking about this particular product. I'm just trying to find something to increase productivity along with giving what the customer is paying for plus more. With what seems 100s of different products out their I can't afford to experiment with to many. Again thank you sir for your time and patience.
Where can I buy a timberline sharpener?
@Mick Bement I contacted Timberline directly by phone using the number provided on the website. Hope this helps. ~Mr. C.
For $124 it is a major purchase almost half the cost of the saw I have. LOL
@Bruce Baker you are absolutely correct. They are pricey but work well. Thanks for sharing. ~Mr. C.
Don't forget to check and adjust the rakers, particularly in the case of an older chain with uneven wear on the teeth. After bringing the teeth back in line it would be a shame to have the chain skip over the teeth and not chisel out an adequate amount of timber.
@JeffPreen-br3oi thanks for the tip. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this information. This is why I love our community. ~Mr. C.
When you say carbide, do you mean carbide, or are they diamond coated grinders?
@trleith the Timberline burrs are actually carbide. The knockoff ones are "diamond" coated grinders. I am using the term diamond very loosely. Great question! Thanks for watching and asking. ~Mr. C.
It was hard to see the chain in some shots
@Draelore someday we will have a nice shop and better lighting with some B-roll footage. Until then we will work with what we have. ~Mr. C.
【from Hipa】The best parts for your equipments,do you like to test it?
@Nina Zeng thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.
The timberline works way better with the carbide used together with a battery screwdriver..🙂
@andersvilhelmsson2271 that's an interesting idea. I might try that one day. Thanks for watching and sharing. ~Mr. C.
I did not see anything about the rakers with this sharpener
@Ted Jastromb Jr. You are correct it only does the cutters. Rakers can be set with a raker gauge and file. I use the gauge in the link below. Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Mr. C.

I'm sorry but no video of this jig shows sharpening the opposite side of the chain .
I have one of these and it will not tighten up against the teeth on opposite side . It works great for the right side teeth but not left side .
@FERRELL CAT interesting. The jig stays on the bar to do both sides of the chain. Would another video showing the jig stays on the bar for sharpening both sides of the cutters help? Let me know. ~Mr. C.
@Nature's Cadence Farm nothing has worked , it runs out of threads before it gets far enough forward to tighten against the tooth on opposite side . That's with leaving the jig in place . It works fine for one side of chain teeth .
@FERRELL CAT I will be making another couple of videos soon about the sharpener. I will see what I can do. ~Mr. C.
A bit long winded, value added nonetheless
@Felix Figueroa thx. ~Mr. C.
China copies and similar are poor quality and wrong. The adjustments are all stuffed with a single pawl running out of travel on second angle. 1/4 inch and or 6mm shank cutters, different size cutter guides od with bad holes affecting alignment, lumpy threads.......
Dont waste your time and money on copies.
@Phil Sharp thank you for your input. ~Mr. C.
I bought the Chinese spin-off and it is rubbish. I had the same problem with running out of travel on the second angle. I have hand crafted a new longer adjustment screw from a metric bolt. Rough but it works. Now the problem is the cutter hits the back stop, which is two pieces as demonstrated in this video, and the one closest to the cutter can be flipped out of the way. Also the unit I bought came with the middle knob for chain sideways slop, missing. No recourse. I have tried to express my displeasure through their website but no response. Lesson learned
@@michaelbeeby6648 hi, sorry about video quality but not a video maker....
czcams.com/video/LkWhCgclW0U/video.html
Thanks for the video link Phil. Exactly, they are rubbish. It's a pity that copyright laws can't prevent this rubbish to be sold as "Timberline" product.
@Michael Beeby thanks for sharing. You guys are full of great information. ~Mr. C.
marking the turning wheel is a waste of time
@marvid viducich thank you for your input. How would you get the sharpener back to the same depth if the adjuster gets moved? I am just asking to maybe find a better way. If I like it I might make a video about the new and improved method. Thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm once you set up on a tooth and you like the position and sharpen it you move to the next tooth on the same side--oh sharpen on side at a time. when you get to the next tooth it will will either be a perfect fit or you may need to move the wheel to accommodate its size. if you have huge variances in you teeth size then the chain is more than likely not worth sharpening. obsessing over millimeters will have absolutely no effect over the quality and speed of your cuts. none. one other note. if you were to find the shortest link in your chain and use it as your starting point, which would only make sense because you cannot make a short tooth longer, and it was 15 millimeters shorter than the rest of the links you are going to spend all day sharpening. good luck
No thank you. Lot of fiddle factor with this sharpener.
@tomlaracey3515 that's cool. I understand. Which sharpener do you prefer or do you prefer to just file? Thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.
Stihl USG grinder or hand file.@@NaturesCadenceFarm
