Hey Gang,
As I have been disgusted with my hand filing skills, I have become very interested in the Timberline Sharpener that a few of you here have mentioned. I did a little research on some different sites, and eventually contacted Phil at Timberline for some answers.
My first question had to do with the 2 cutters available for 3/8 chain. They offer a 7/32" cutter for standard 3/8" chain, and also a 13/64" that is for Stihl chains. Being a cheap (I mean thrifty) guy I wanted to know if I could get by with just one. The answer was that the 13/64" would be the way to go. In fact, as a standard 3/8" gets worn, it is optimal to switch to the 13/64" anyway.
My second question again had to do with my thriftiness. I mentioned that I had noticed Timberline had a presence on some other forum, I forget which one, and that a discount code had been offered to those members. I asked Phil if he had joined OPEforum yet, and suggested that he consider doing so, as this is where the cool kids are hanging out!
So, long story somewhat shorter, I got an email from him letting me know the following;
"We do not have a promo code set up for the OPEforum site. But for those chainsaw enthusiasts that would be interested in our Timberline Sharpener we created a discount code that can be used on our website https://www.timberlinesharpener.com/shop which you would need to enter in the referral box "OPEforum" which will give them $15 when purchasing our sharpener."
Anyway, there you have it. I am going to try one because, as I mentioned, I suck at hand filing. Hope this benefits some of you.
Cheers!
