    In your opinion, what's todays' highest quality manual lathe brand?

    Yes. Rong Fu is concidered the finest manual machining equipment in the world. It's what built America. Enjoy your mill/thrill.

    Chainsaw Sharpener?

    Seriously, If guys are talking about buying multiple chains to make it through a weekend, or buying a HF gizmo to sharpen a chain because a hand file is too difficult; the LAST thing I would tell them to do is start buying bulk chain and sizing it them selves. Better to just cleave their face...

    Chainsaw Sharpener?

    Going through 4-6 chains a season is pretty wild. Used to run a chain saw for a living and never fiddled with any gizmos. A round file and a flat file is all you need. Maintaining the right tooth/ raker relationship for the type of wood you're cutting is the only skill needed. So long as you...
