How do you sharpen yours? We don't all have a wood fairy like Neil to do it for us.

I've always used a file with a guide and it's ok but one of my least favourite jobs so while in Screwfix the other day I impulsively bought one of these. Woodstar CS03 Chain Sharpener | Accessories | Screwfix.com.

It worked quite well though there's play where the motor unit swivels on the base, easily sorted with bushes and the depth stop is far from precise but I found a youtube video tonight with a solution to that.

£35 for the sharpener though it's a few quid cheaper on the internet hopefully a worthwhile time saver.
