I have just gotten and used this. It seems to work better than the Husky roller unit due to the fact there is less wiggle room for error. I don't recall anyone else saying anything about this, so I thought I would give it the applause that I think it deserves. I do, and have used both. It ALSO seems to work very well with the diamond coated file that I have because I am better at maintaining a constant angle when I go to pull as opposed to push. Just thought I would let other FF members know what my experience has been.
I had my eyes on it aswell but you can only sharpen stihl chains with it ;(
That may be what is said, but I am sharpening the 3 other brands that I have. It appears, and performs, in the cut, very well.
No clue of what you have, maybe a pic? Or google here I come.
I have not yet been able to have the needed technology to be able to take and/or send pics. It is in the 2014/15 big catalog Stihl that I have. I picked up this catalog about a year back from a Stihl dealer on the way back from a very out of the way camping trip that the wife and I made. BTW, on page 46. I like paper. The power never goes out, and batteries never die. Worst case, good fire starter.

If that's the case, i might give it a try even though it's twice as expensive compared to husqvarna roller guide.
Can't seem to find these here in the states, and they have been around for a while. None of the major suppliers seem to have them.
I just got my local Stihl dealer to order it in for me. They have been very good to deal with. It helped that I went in with a catalog to point out EXACTLY what I wanted. BTW, I live in central AR, about 10 miles from the major interstate they happened to be located on.
Read the title and the first thing that came to mind was "When did Stihl start making fighter jets??" ???
