Why in the heck am I liking these rock cutting posts?
I cannot fathom boxing up my chains @ $9 each and Mailing them to Ohio to get sharpened.
Lunacy.
Great summation.Because you and I can sharpen a chain. Most people cannot, including a friend of mine who has a tree service. Most places charge $9 or more to sharpen a chain, and they are not good at it either. I took a chain to our Stihl dealer here and it came back with all blue cutters. The Franzen sharpeners are the best there are and can be set up to sharpen anyway you want it.
For some people, {such as Tree services with a lot of money and not a lot of time (or skill), a person that does very little cutting, or a person that cannot sharpen a chain at all} Razorsharp is a very good option.
Keep in mind, Razorsharp cleans, deburs, does the rakers, and sharpens the cutter. NOBODY does that around here for any price.
Perspective:Yep. Franzen is the ultimate tool
Custom made for me by Jason @jmester , and Nate @fordf150 who supplied the EXL chains and took care of shipping.Where do you get that chain?
Perspective:
I’ll take my swingarm over it every single time
And on semi chisel, I’ll take my file or 511a over it
If I did chains for income, I’d probably have a little different perspective
Every reason why I have this as my perspective

I wonder how well it would even up a really out of whack chain, like one that has been severely unevenly sharpened and rocked. Would it make them all nice and even? I figure someone still has to watch the process to make sure it sharpens past the rock damage.
I don't know anything about powered sharpeners, but does it match each tooth or match each depth gauge to each tooth individually? I assume it might use fluid or something to keep the cutters cool so they don't harden.
Seems like they might be worth it every once in a while. I know I can hardly stand to hand sharpen a 20" full comp, so I tend to run full skip on 20" and larger.
