    Got the grinder this afternoon. The guy who sold it to me is a faller and says it’s ready to go.
    Looks to be in pretty good shape.
    Will make a trip to Maddens to get some wheels for it. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    With the Simington grinder the thickness of the wheel where you shape it makes a difference so even though I like CBN wheels you are stuck with what you have and in a square grinder I like having the ability to shape the wheel at any angle I want and the thickness of that angle.

    No problem. I did not know the made CBN wheels for square grinding. I looked on the link that you provided and did not see a square grind wheel. But no worrys with a Blue wheel you can grind either 3/8ths chain or .325.
    by reducing the thickness of the angle a little.

    And I, not knowing any better thought square grind wheels were square LOL.
    It used to be called a square wheel. It’s been changed to raker wheel. And it is square, not the shape reloader is looking for. I wonder if they changed the name because of people like me? :)
