I prefer a file & a handle. costs me less than a dollar for both.:banana:

Maybe try a used one? I've found that you get what you pay for. A used quality machine is often better than a new cheap one.

A used silvey is probqbly better than a new knock off grinder. The square is a lot easier to find than a used 510.

Ive been pretty happy with my Carlton 510C (Tecomec).

Have a Silvey at work, going to get the hang of it eventually, been about 15 years since I used one. Hand filed all my life. But recently due to maintaining all the county saws, and everyone needs to be sharpened, almost every time! So I have been using the Stihl, and a Grandberg 12v portable. Very impressive results. 40 bucks too.

I have 2 razor sharp IIs right now. I would like to get another swing arm to go with the razor sharp.

Just picked up three Silvey 510's. The Carlton 510C is up for sale! PM me and Ill treat ya right on it if ya havent bought one yet. I may sell one of the Silveys too, but I doubt it.

The cheap harbor freight sharpeners are pretty good for someone like me that just cuts a few cords a year I mainly use it to clean up a rocked chain or to get the neighbors chain back in shape after he has filed every tooth at a diffrent angle

I only have one Razor sharp now. Someone picked up his grinder yesterday
