sq grinder

the durability is what i look for in my grinds as well
i have alot of chains sent to others and ill let a little speed go to achieve durability and in my videos im usually cutting oak or some other hardwood

 

Agree Dall. Especially when you’re sending to someone... I have looked at teeth with a magnifying glass after frozen oak. They’re pretty rough if the angles are too shallow.

 

chain was in Alaska and he cut more after the accident

 

Whoops!

 

lol he said it was covered in snow
still did some damage but ive seen worse

 

dall Dallas, I’m ready to get scientific with it! Lol

 

lol have you checked your dresser angles ?

 

hows you sondre ?

 

I’m good Dallas. How are you?

I zeroed it out above the bolt for the swing arm. Figured that would be the best and closest area to measure at relative to the wheel, or should I measure zero on the wheel itself?

Top plate dresser is at 28.7 degrees relative to the top of the grinder.
The side plate is at 22.7 degrees.

 

try taking the side plate dresser to 19 degrees and see how it looks

 

Roger that. Lemme’ see here.

 

try on a old chain for testing

 

Sorry, my top plate was at 19 degrees.

 

its the side plate dresser we want to work on the most right now

 

Here it is. That’s 19 degree side plate. This is a Raisman chain I donated to the cause of learning.

 

that looks alot better for durability id do a chain with that grind and test it

 

Awesome. The top plate ended up at exactly 20 degrees with this set up.
I’ll get a chain ground this weekend or something.

 

the less than stock top angle helps durability
there was a video on youtube showing results of the different angles ill look to see if i can find it

 

This is a fresh one that hasn’t been ground on before. Looks pretty good to me.
it takes a decent amount off the cutter to get the top plate that shallow.

 

yes it is changing the angles but once you are there it wont take much from now on
