Review now of Chainsaw sharpener (grinder type)

Wanted to add that after subbing outdoor work for rental management companies for years, my DeWalt brushless reciprocating saw with long pruning blades are better for most bush and small tree work.

I will stick a reciprocating saw blade right in the dirt to cut a root or stump and not give it a second thought and they cut well a long time abusing them like that. Blades are cheap and quick to change, especially compared to chains.

Never thought about using a sawzall. I do have a cordless unit. Wasn't really wanting or planning to do those bushes. Late in the day of doing a favor and was getting tired of the growing request. Went into full tard mode when the daughter said cut, cut, cut, and cut some more.
We argued because she wanted to kill two mature old timey apple trees because of bees. After that if she wanted it cut I didn't give a care. I hated downing those trees, so the rest of the hodge podge of bushes fell tribute. Kill em all.
 
Well second sharpening results:

First diving cut from first sharpening ever with the Super Jolly.
The full cut was the second attempt. Noticeably straighter. And the shavings pile was better. Granted its pine.

Made a pass with the grinder on the rounded tooth profile. Made sure to make a crisp point. 10 thousandth of an inch to get it clean. Upon switching the vise angle I notice a large amount would be needed to be removed if left at its current setting.
Rather than take the plunge I backed it out and crept up on the cut. Using dail calipers I made a pass or two til it measured like the opposing side.
I didn't take readings of each tooth or average them this go around. The cut is much better.
For a few chains I will continue this method of tooth length measuring while grinding. I have read this was an issue on a few other models so it's worth noting and keeping an eye out for it.
Not being a daily pro or sharpening shop I really don't know how many thousandth is acceptable.
