    That was with the holder almost all the way back. When I moved the holder to the middle, the top plate ends up at 23 degrees. Made the side plate lean more too.

    Same dresser angles, but the holder is in the middle.

    your welcome
    but you can see how much difference there is in such a small adjustment

    Definitely. And many ways to get to close to the same results, just different combinations of the set up.

    once you get the wheel angles where you want it at then youd just have to move the arm stuff to go from work chain to play/race chain

    Looks awesome Sondre. I like the length(or height) of that side plate grind.

    Thanks Jason. It may be a little too tall. It’s more difficult to set the grinder up to not hit the straps with the wheel that thick. You can see in the last pics that I just hit them.

    Been home the last 2 days, my giddy up done got up and left, must be that A/B thing another poster mentioned- sure knocked the wind out of my sails. My diaphragm muscles were so sore from the first go around- tender to the touch and then it was just no omph to get any thing done this last couple weeks. Better now got most of the body parts strength back, even have a bit of an apatite back now. Never threw up just that awful cough from the sinus draining down back of throat didn't matter what position I was in that cough would start up and just wreck havoc. Which of course does nothing for getting any sleep. So the 451c is still wrapped up in the box. At my shop today which is why I am posting as I do not have the ability at home. Only thing available is Satellite ( Hughes Net doesn't matter retailer name) and they are way over priced. If I could get one account for both the shop and home that would be ok- haven't found that yet ( 45 miles between the two). Internet connection on the phone is maybe at best 20% at home- so tying that up to the box on the desk isn't worth it. Basically I am in a black hole communication wise at home. I have been following the thread. I am so far behind on everything around here - too stressed out.

    Sorry to hear you’re still not feeling good. Take your time and heal up. This thread will be here when you’re ready, and we’ll both learn together.

    I agree 100% on that. In this case you’re way ahead of me, though, so I’ll learn from you.

    I haven’t noticed anything like that there so far. At least not towards me.
    I appreciate the help. Hopefully we can put our minds together and make some damm good cutting chains.
