Mecale230W Electric Chainsaw Sharpener with Adjustable Tilting Vise

Keeping a chainsaw sharp is the difference between clean, fast cutting and a saw that smokes its way through a log. This electric chainsaw sharpener sets up on a bench and handles that maintenance properly, with a 230W commercial motor rated to a 350W peak turning at a measured 3000 RPM. The moderate speed is deliberate, since it grinds efficiently while helping to keep cutters from burning or losing temper. The tilting vise is the heart of the design. It holds the chain firmly and angles to suit both semi-chisel and chisel style cutters, so each tooth meets the wheel at the same angle and the chain comes off with an even, predictable profile. The 5.5 in grinding wheel with its 0.875 in arbor covers a broad contact area, which means fewer passes per tooth and a faster route through a long chain. Pitches of 1/4, 3/8 Low Pro, 0.325, 3/8 and 0.404 are all supported. Build quality supports daily use. The body is aluminum, chosen for its resistance to rust and scratching along with the strength it adds to the frame, and a working light is mounted so dark corners of a shed or garage are no obstacle. An anti-slip handle holds the machine secure during grinding and noise stays at or below 85 dB. It runs on 110V at 60 Hz, weighs about 12.8 lb and carries an IP20 protection rating for indoor work.
