Where can you find another chain for this saw? Also, what is a good sharpener to use on this chain?

It's a standard 12' chain so Amazon, Lowes and Home Depot all have them. I've never bothered sharpening a chain because they are too easy to just replace.

You can do a Google search. There are several places listed such as Sears Parts and others. I plan on just replacing the chain when mine gets dull. So far I haven't needed to do that. Hope this helps.

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

I am sorry but I don't have any knowledge or experience sharpening saws with razor teeth. So I don't know if the sharpening tool you are describing will work for this saw.

I use a battery powered Dremel with diamond burr. Line the angle as original touch it in the cove and done. It will sharpen very quickly so don't leave it to long before checking it. Feel a new chain to know what you are expecting. You want a point at the junction where top and side meet. Hope this helped.

I have the same saw. Check out Home Depot. I bought what's called a Universal Edge Guide. I had to do some minor filling on the mounting slots of the shoe of the saw. Works great!

Even if it does, you don't want it. The rakers are huge making it nearly impossible to sharpen. This chain is for people that don't trust themselves with an aggressive chain. If you have a 460 I'm assuming you can handle the machine. Go to your local dealer and get a real chain.

Motor bar chain a chain tool and a worthless manual. Great saw though. Go to youtube for operating instructions.

You will have to buy two. You will need to purchase the bar and chain, one 16" and 1 20". They come as a kit, with the sharpener included. I would think the sharpener will attach to either bar since each bar is the same concept. Good Luck I would agreed its the best way to go to sharpen a chain.

I use an Oregon D70 chain which is a general purpose chain. Works good for cutting logs. There are probably many more brands that have Poulan chains but just be sure that the package includes "Poulan" as a fit. Most Menards, Home Depot, Lowes stores carry chains. Just look for 20" and Poulan.

I am not at home to correctly answer question. I believe it is Oregon #16. I will check, but you have to give me 40 hrs I am out of state. I have had no problems sharpening. It is a good saw!

Any chain can be sharpened however I find the degree angle are guides and not absolutes. For longer periods between sharpening increase the tooth undercut angle.

You will need to find out the specifications for your chain, then download the owners manual for this sharpener. I would assume this machine will do it, though we all know what assume did... Good Luck Larry, if you go down this road you will no longer think you know you will have to know because sharpening with this machine gets one fully involved, its actually a lot of fun.

You can contact Timber Tuff at: 218-943-6290 or just play around with it without running it, trial fitting it to the chain, and you will be able to figure it out. Sharpen all prongs oriented one way all the way around the chain, then sharpen all the other prongs that are oriented 45 deg's in the other direction. Mark the chain for a starting and finishing reference. Don't have to remove chain.

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw.If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

Checking the Timberline website, I believe you need a 13/64. I'll bet your chain is similar to the chains on my Stihl saw. You can go to timberline.com and go to the sharpener. From there you can go to sizing.

Any sharpening stone will work. I prefer to use a red handled sharpener made by Corona (AC 8300 is printed on it). It takes the metal down faster than a stone which I like when I am out pruning lots of fruit trees and it's lightweight. It costs under $10.00 the last time I bought one.
