    I do. I haven't used the Timberline in a long time. I was using it for my BIL's chains. Guess I should just give it to him at this point. He's resisting letting me square grind for him.

    Man-o-man that Timberline can produce a razur sharp chain! Charp as chit, lol!

    +1 on the timberline. I use it in the field to touch up my chains, otherwise, I've since switched to the SuperJolly

    Are there Chinese knock offs of it? While browsing FBM for saw deals i see them offered for sale but a lot cheaper. The original sells for around $100??? and these are offered around $40? Scam?

    I almost got one of the Timberline sharpeners until I was gifted a Stihl 2 in 1. Thats all I use on my personal chains for now. A super jolly will happen eventually.

    Back in college we would buy something like that and then duplicate it in the machine shop,and return the original. Gotta love machinist school. Teachers laughed and shook their heads.
