The continued work on Ham lane (thanks Ian)
Facebook and its usefulness for us.

Hope to see a reasonable turn out, don't think meeting=officious, boring, think meeting = meet some likeminded individuals who share your passion for bikes, and have a beer!
We'll be looking at the Oregon Professional chainsaw sharpener (Electric bench grinder) Pro's & Con's
Good price on the web for theses at the moment
Been down this road with various sharpening tools, still prefer the manual file way no need to remove chain. The rakers still need doing manually mind !!

Don't take long to remove a chain from a saw plus if you maintain the saw properly you have to remove the chain
The Depth gauges (Rakers) can be lowered using the Oregon sharpener with equal height for all
Many different opinions and as I said previously there are 'pro's & con's to all Doug
Hand sharpening is good, I still hand sharpen
I'll look forward to seeing you at the meeting Doug, bring ya saw and sharpening gear with ya mate, we can compare

Regarding chain sharpening, I bought something similar from Lidl around 8 years ago and I really rate the way it can sort out metal or rock contact by the chain. Yeah if its just a bit dulled then a quick hand job is fine. As for the rakers, I use the angle grinder and just kiss the tips. Theres probably a law or two against this but I claim grandfather rights (-;
