You never go wrong buying a good tool or saw. They cost more but are cheapest in the long haul. In 76 I bought a home and had a young family and could ill afford it but bought a Stihl 031 and whats now an Oregon grinder. The grinders were made in Italy and this was before Oregon picked them up. Both are still working and have repaid me exponentially. Frank C.

Oregon makes a good grinder, so does Logosol.  There is a company that has picked up where Silvey left off also.  Comstock is a good place to start.

I know this thread is a year old, but it has piqued my curiosity as to who has picked up where Silvey has left off?
Just now I checked out Comstock.com and didn't see a grinder at the "Silvey" level.  Round or Square - did I miss something? 
A Silvey 510 is what I long for -  Buehler - anyone???

Thanks guys -

This is a  great thread with lots of good replies.
But I noticed the OP ( ruffed grouse) only posted once to start it but not so much even a thankyou. Maybe he's still stuck under a tree or something  :D

I own a Harbor Freight chain wrecker/sharpener. Once in a while I get lucky with it and it'll kinda work pretty good. Would love to buy a good one, maybe a 12V rotary type with a guide.

How do you know when you need a new hand file?
Stihl 170, 210MS, 290MS, 441MS and Hudson bandsaw

A box of Oregon 13/64 and, a box of Nicholson 1/4" files are hard to beat for cost, efficiency, speed, results, and PERFORMANCE.  God Bless

When it cuts like a dull chain ;D

 :D  How true that is. The file will just not take so much off. Just remember how that new ones files,than after a while you will notice how the file does not seem to be working so good. I buy mine by the box,a box will last me a long time.

I just happened to watch a wranglestar you tube video and he seemed really high on the Granberg 12 volt sharpening system. Has any one used one?  Good bad?   thx

mad murdock

The granberg electric(12v dc) is a good system, as well as their file holder/guide.  Both good options, as you can sharpen the chain on the bar vs having to take it off the bar to sharpen a loop. Madsen's in WA state sells used silvey and they have an entry level grinder (Tecomoec) which looks decent, if you are hung up on an off the bar grinder option.  Comstock may have something just as good, I would certainly go with a forum sponsor first.
