Portable Chainsaw Sharpening Vise WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Chain Saws 31-3-36 Pete Peters, Osler, Sask.: "I came up with a portable chainsaw sharpening vise by bolting a small vise to the top of a 3-ft. high steel pipe, which is welded into an old car wheel hub that serves as a stand.
"To provide more sharpening area, I welded in new material to lengthen the vise jaws by about eight inches. To sharpen the chain, I just the clamp it into the vise and use a file to sharpen the area inside the vise. Then I loosen the vise jaws and sharpen another section of chain until I've gone all the way around it.
"It really comes in handy because I can use it anywhere and even haul it in my pickup when cutting firewood in the woods. A metal tube welded onto the pipe serves as a handy place to keep saw files."
