On opening the box there are a load of bits and the instructions are pretty rubbish. It's fairly simple to put together and set up. You will need a hex (Allen) key It requires a solid workbench to be bolted to. Took me about 20 mins to set up then each chain took about 10 mins to sharpen, I'm getting quicker as I go. I started doing a batch of 3 chains with a cut in one direction then adjust angle on machine and do opposite angle About an hour and a half later and with several chains done the machine has paid for itself. The motor is fairly quiet. Note..before starting I wiped the links and made sure no joints were stuck. After sharpening wipe with chain oil or something like WD40. Learn on your most worn chain in case you muck it up.

Difficult to rate on pick lists but this was not for me, I found the precision of chain location poor and the tool is springy in use -- too much plastic . It may well suit some users but not good enough for me, I would prefer to pay more and have abetter tool. The supplier refunded without any quibble so full marks to them.

I bought this with the money I would save from not having to pay extortionate prices to get my chainsaw chains sharpened and it has worked out brilliantly, easy to use and now I can always use sharp chainsaw as I don't have to plod on with a blunt one trying to get a bit more work out of it before paying to get it sharpened. I think it's far safer to use a sharp chainsaw than a blunt one.

Great item, the hand held brake to hold chain is a brill idea for quick and easy chain sharpening with no fuss, when i got this i set it up and sharpened six chains faster than i could do one chain with a drimmer type sharpener would recommend to any one using a chainsaw

The instructions are in very small font and not very good when you do manage to read them, but if you can figure it out it works well. Remember the chain has 2 cutting edges so after sharpening one side you need to adjust the clamp and move the cutting bed to the other side to cut the other angle. The clamp works fine when you adjust the cable properly so that when you squeeze the lever it holds the chain firmly. Don't clamp it too close to the bench either like I did, have plenty of the base hanging over so you don't snag the chain on the edge of your bench. I did also think there would be a dead mans switch but there isn't so when you start the grinder spinning you can leave it running and move the chain along but be careful!
