Yeah they're over $20k for sure. I guess if you did about 1-200 chains a week it might be worth it for a big shop.

Fish ran a thread on A.S. about this machine, and had some experience on it. I believe that Stens distributes it in the US.  http://www.stens.com/Portal.aspx?CN=1FAF7C6A7CDD

The guy with the 2nd video I posted told me during busy season they are doing 80-100 chains a day.

I think Fish said something like the machine runs automatically, but that each chain needs to be set up. So it really can't run unattended. But the worker can be doing other things while it is grinding.
