I've been sharpening chainsaw chains for neighbors and friends for several years now (10+) with a professional Stihl bench model grinder. I've never tried to make money at it, I only do it in my spare time and only charge minimally, $2.50 to $3.50 depending on the size and style of chain. I get plenty of comments that I'm not pricing my work nearly high enough, so I'm wondering what everyone is paying in their area for professionally sharpened chains? Still not looking to make money, but want to continue to help out my neighbors and friends without giving my work away too cheaply. Just looking for a range of prices that are paid around the country. |
