Oregon 520-230 Professional chainsaw sharpener 230V 🪚

This compact electric bench grinder is designed for fast, repeatable maintenance of saw chains, saving workshop time and reducing downtime. The Oregon Professional Chainsaw Sharpening Device works as a heavy-duty chainsaw chain sharpener for regular use, and it is compatible with most common chain pitches so you can sharpen chains on site with ease.

Key Points

The unit mounts to a bench or wall and is built for frequent, high-volume chain sharpening, making it practical for small commercial operations and serious hobbyists. It includes multiple adjustment points to increase sharpening accuracy and a built-in light to improve visibility when setting up each cutter. The package also comes with a dressing brick and profile guide plus two grinding wheels and a flat profile disc for depth gauge maintenance, so you have the main tools needed to maintain cutters and rakers. ⚙️

This electric sharpener handles up to 0.404 inch pitch chains and, according to the manufacturer, is compatible with chains from brands such as Oregon, Stihl and Husqvarna. Consider that occasional users may find the setup and alignment steps more complex than with simpler manual files, but the time saved on repeated sharpenings can offset that initial effort.

Usage Recommendations

For accurate results, mount the grinder securely to a stable bench or a solid workshop wall and check the alignment before each session. Use the larger 4.7 mm wheel for tougher, worn cutters and the 3.2 mm wheel for finer work, and clean the profile guide periodically to maintain consistent angles. 🔧

Adjust the built-in stops and fine-tuning points according to the cutter geometry of your chain, and use the depth gauge disc to restore raker heights after multiple sharpening cycles. For safety, wear eye protection and gloves when operating the grinder and avoid applying excessive pressure that could overheat the cutter steel. ⚠️
