I have an electric sharpener similar to the ones HF sells now.
I bought it from Oregon for about $75 around 1970 when I was a McCulloch dealer. I charged a dollar a chain back then and made good money with it. I just use it for myself,now, but I'd probably have to charge $5 per chain now.
With a little experience you learn to put the edge back on the chain without taking off any more metal than you have to, and most chains can be sharpened maybe ten times. And with that type of sharpener, the adjustment stays the same for the entire chain, so every chipper is cut exactly the same.
A lot of guys argue that it's a waste of time to take a chain off of a saw to sharpen it, but to me it's a chance to take an air hose and clean off all the crud around the clutch and in the bar groove.
