Don't know what caused it but the piston is shot, any recommendations or should I stick with husqvarna, they said they would sell me a new one for 390 and keep the old one for parts and not charge me labor for tearing it down.

How big a chainsaw does it need to be?

There is a compatibility list at: http://powersharp.co.....langid=eng

 

If one of those would meet your needs, the Powersharp might make life a bit easier.

I just re-read my post and realized I could have been more clear on something.

 

When I asked how big the chainsaw needs to be, I meant to say that some chainsaws are too large for this product. They sell it as a kit. Not just the obvious sharpening attachment, but it requires a special bar and chain which means they need to make different ones sized for specific make/models.

 

Hence the reason for the compatibility checker link. I wish I had known how quick chains go dull and what a pain sharpening is. I might have discovered this product before buying my Farmboss. It's not compatible with Farmboss.

 

Awesome! ...Not Awesome! (Shakes head)

I'm looking for something 20 inches and over 50cc and it appears those are for smaller saws, still pretty awesome though

It'd be more awesome if it was compatible with my Farmboss.
