Absolutely Yes....
The 1/8 " grinding wheel matches right up with a new chain for the set-up. Then put in your old dull chain and make the final adjustments. Check the fit with the machine off, then switch it on, mark the 1st tooth and your on your way.

There are a variety of different chains on the market. This sharpener works with 0.325in. chains and 0.404in. chains. It is best to verify the type and size of chain before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

The Saw Size is irrevelent. The Northern Bench/Wall sharpener will sharpen chains that have 1/4" pitch; .325" pitch; 3/8" pitch; 0.404" pitch; and 3/4" pitch.
It's a good tool at a good price.
