Chain Sharpening

[NDwalleyes]

Seems like it's a dying craft. Anyone know who sharpens chainsaw chains in Bismarck?

Ace Hardware.. They do a good job of sharpening but have doubled their price in the last year or so. I have files and a jig and try to do touch-ups between trips to Ace.

If you guys have a Napa, they just did two for me for $5-7 (stupid me said, "that's it!?") sometime it's better to just stfu I suppose, but I was pleasantly surprised not paying out of my ass for something finally like our good ol days I guess..
They'll always have my business and recommendations as long as they don't toe the line of this trendy bs of raping their customers I guess. That's how it should work..

I helped a buddy of mine years ago who cut trees for years. He was a pro. I watched him sharpen his. They cut so nice!

Do you have a specific model?

I recently took in six, 8 inch chains (polesaw) and it cost me $72. Seemed a bit pricey. I had recently picked up a couple new chains for $15 a piece. Not sure why I'd sharpen them anymore unless I can do it myself.

BTW, Ace in Bismarck contracts its sharpening of chainsaw blades out to a local fellow. Don't remember his name, but he does all their chainsaw blades, and probably other stuff. Part of why it's gotten so pricey.
