    Anyone own/use one? Is there a better one? All my 20" bars have been taking a beating from my PT cutting job. A couple started cutting crooked. I normally just use a flat file, but saw one used on a YouTube video and was impressed. Your thoughts/input FHC?

    I use a Delta benchtop belt/disc sander. The round disc side makes quick work of dressing bars.
