[AT] Chain saw sharpening

[Dick Day]

Jason, thanks for such a quick reply.


The specs I included were pulled off the following site... 
http://www.toolbarn.com/worx-wa0159.html

It's hard to tell from the website you gave me, but is that sharpener 
anything like this one at Northern?

 I saw one like this in use once and it looked simple enough that even I 
should be able to use it :)
