A chainsaw sharpening device, comprising:
- a cutting tooth sharpener;
- a base coupled to the cutting tooth sharpener;
- a first side member coupled to the base and configured to face a first side of a chainsaw bar;
- a second side member coupled to the base and configured to face a second side of the chainsaw bar;
- and
- a guide member coupled to the base and configured to be slidable along a plurality of top plates of a respective plurality of cutting teeth of a saw chain mounted on the chainsaw bar;
- wherein the chainsaw sharpening device is configured to be moved to a desired cutting tooth of the mounted saw chain to perform a sharpening procedure without being fixed to the chainsaw bar;
- and
- wherein the guide member is configured to have at least one angled portion at a forward end thereof to correspond to a top plate cutting edge of a plurality of the cutting teeth.
A chainsaw sharpening device, comprising:
- a cutting tooth sharpener;
- a base coupled to the cutting tooth sharpener;
- a first side member coupled to the base and configured to face a first side of a chainsaw bar;
- a second side member coupled to the base and configured to face a second side of the chainsaw bar;
- and
- a guide member coupled to the base and configured to be slidable along a plurality of top plates of a respective plurality of cutting teeth of a saw chain mounted on the chainsaw bar;
- wherein the chainsaw sharpening device is configured to be moved to a desired cutting tooth of the mounted saw chain to perform a sharpening procedure without being fixed to the chainsaw bar;
- wherein the first and second side members are configured to guide the base along the chainsaw bar without being fixed to the chainsaw bar;
- and
- wherein the first and second side members are provided with magnetic elements that oppose the chainsaw bar to keep the base substantially centered at a top of the chainsaw bar.
A chainsaw sharpening device, comprising:
- a cutting tooth sharpener;
- a base coupled to the cutting tooth sharpener;
- a first side member coupled to the base and configured to face a first side of a chainsaw bar;
- a second side member coupled to the base and configured to face a second side of the chainsaw bar;
- and
- a guide member coupled to the base and configured to be slidable along a plurality of top plates of a respective plurality of cutting teeth of a saw chain mounted on the chainsaw bar;
- wherein the chainsaw sharpening device is configured to be moved to a desired cutting tooth of the mounted saw chain to perform a sharpening procedure without being fixed to the chainsaw bar;
- wherein the cutting tooth sharpener is a rotary grinder;
- and
- wherein the cutting tooth sharpener is configured to be pivotable relative to the base such that the cutting tooth sharpener is able to move to and from the desired cutting tooth;
- and
- wherein an angled forward edge of the guide member is configured to be positioned to indicate a contact area of the cutting tooth to be contacted by the cutting tooth sharpener.
The device of 8, wherein the cutting tooth sharpener is configured to be pivotable in a lateral direction relative to the guide member to adjust an angle of the sharpening procedure.
