Thanks! Unfortunately, because it is a state school, it is almost impossible to buy anything used.

Does anyone have experience with this machine? Are there better alternatives?

This forum is pretty much it for me. I can't spend too much time here because when I'm here I buy saws...

Thanks!

I need some more advice... I posted earlier that we are putting together a machine shop at our university. We have a vertical mill, a lathe, a bandsaw, a small MIG/wire welder, drill press, a large belt/disk sander, small water jet, and a laser engraver. We also have a sheet metal...

I don't use a handle. Using one makes the file longer, which makes it harder to control with one hand. If I sharpen on the saw, my left hand is holding the chain in place. The tang sits in my palm, which allows me to put my index finger on the back of the file.

I was about to. That's what I get for not checking in for a few days.

Seems like you would have been able to foresee that...

So much peer pressure in this thread...
