AUTOMATIC CHAINSAW SHARPENING MACHINE IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
If you use a chainsaw to cut down trees or work with lumber, you know how important it is to keep your chain sharp. A sharp chain not only helps your work go smoother but keeps you safe, too. Dull blades can lead to kickback and buckling, which can be dangerous for you and make it challenging to finish the job. Keeping your blades sharp will also extend the longevity of your chain, which saves you time and money in the long run.

About the Franzen Automatic Chainsaw Sharpening Machine
Franzen chainsaw chain sharpeners are manufactured in Germany and can restore dull chainsaw blades to like-new condition in minutes. After one of our technicians sets up the Franzen chainsaw sharpener, it automatically sharpens a variety of saw chains, including ¼”, ¿”, .404”, .325”, and ¿” Picco. Feeding, pivoting, and grinding are automated, resulting in more precise, consistent, and fast chain sharpening.
If you’ve visited HomCo Lumber & Hardware for chainsaw sharpening in the past, you might have waited a day for us to finish the job. And, during peak season, it could take up to a week. Now, with the Franzen Automatic Chainsaw Sharpening Machine, we can sharpen your chains in the time it takes you to finish your shopping.
How Often to Sharpen Chainsaw Blades
How often you need to sharpen your chainsaw blades depends on various factors, including the chain’s quality and how frequently you use it. There are a few clear indicators that will let you know when it’s time to sharpen your blade:
- When you hit something hard while cutting
- When you notice that your chainsaw isn’t cutting as well as it did before
- When you observe small chunks of wood in the sawdust, as opposed to the large pieces that signal a sharp chain
If you’d prefer to stick to a regular chain sharpening schedule, one rule of thumb is to sharpen your chain every time you refuel. There will, of course, be times when you need to sharpen your chainsaw before its next refueling. After each use, you should check the condition of your chain to see if it has become dull or if any teeth are missing.
If your chainsaw gets heavy use and you need to sharpen it before you can finish a job, you can always swing by HomCo, and we’ll take care of it for you. If you’re too far away to make it in or can’t leave the job site, we carry a variety of STIHL chainsaw sharpeners, replacement chains, and other products so you can sharpen or replace your chain from anywhere.
How Does the Franzen Chainsaw Sharpening Machine Work?
The Franzen Chainsaw Sharpening Machine is fully automated, ensuring it can sharpen with more consistency and precision than even highly-skilled professionals. Once one of our technicians sets it up, the machine can function entirely without surveillance—it’s even designed to shut down if it detects a broken or missing tooth, so that it won’t damage the chain.
The Franzen Chainsaw Sharpening Machine automatically and evenly grinds cutters on both sides of the chain and grinds down the depth gauges in one cycle. The machine’s scanner head detects left and right teeth and will still operate with precision even if it encounters several left or right teeth in a row. And, because the Franzen keeps the teeth cool while it sharpens, they won’t be at risk of overheating.
