I've seen those sharpeners and am curious.
How do you use them?


It's a Chinese knockoff of the Oregon (which is either made in Italy, or
made in China and stamped made in Italy...).

You set the chain in the vise, looking for the worst/shortest tooth,
setting vise to angle for that side. You move the setting jig up until
that tooth gets fully ground, clamping with each grind cycle. Then you
leave the setting jig in place and unclamp, move, clamp, grind, repeat.
All manual, gets faster the more you do it. Swing the angle for the
other side, do the other side. Swap grinding wheels, swing angle to 0,
file one raker with the usual raker guide, use that raker to set the
grinder wheel used for rakers, grind all the other rakers.
