I have a 12 volt Oregon chainsaw sharpener that I wore down the grinder on finally ,trouble is when I went to change the stones I took the little wrench that comes with it and went to turn the locking nut so I could pull the old stone out and replace it and the whole shaft turns ,On my dremel that is similar there is a little button you push to lock the shaft ,my Oregon sharpener has a hole where a button might go ,or may have been ,but other than that there is no apparent way to stop the shaft from turning ,can someone tell me if there is suposed to be a button there please ? I peered into the hole and did not see where I could shove a nail into a slot or something down in there to stop it from turning . I'm afraid to experiment ,the instructions ( if any are gone ) Can someone rescue me please

On mine you take another shaft and stick it in there.

 

Thanks Dariot, upon further investigation I see a place where I can fit another shaft into the hole ,Thanks for the info .I hadn't seen the hole in the shaft before but tried it and works great .What a great gizmo and cheap too. Seems like just seconds to sharpen my saw instead of minutes ..and the stones are cheap at home depot.

 

lol,,,

yeah,,,i got one of those

stick er in the hole[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

they work pretty good

I've gone through about 6 stones so far (with a cracked housing and all).

It lives in the storage box under the hood of the truck (i hate a dull blade)

 

people are gonna start asking how they can sharpen their atv chain now
