Best chain grinder

You gonna love it!

 

I like how they put the box in a box. So many places just slap a label on and let it go.

 

I saved enough money by purchasing it from them that I purchased a diamond wheel. It made a good machine even more gooder!

 

Wal-Mart.com and Amazon have them listed, but out of stock.
A CBN wheel works mighty well on that grinder.

 

I bought the same grinder two weeks ago. After the initial set up it takes about 3 minutes to switch between the different sizes and gauges of chains. The biggest difference I can see between this grinder and a filing system is the teeth come out the same length every time.

 

Yes they do !! I already have a dynasaw wheel for .375" and .404" and a cbn wheel from Diamond wheel inc. for the smaller chains. I'm just wanting the smaller dynasaw wheel because of how much cooler they run.

 

I ground 8 chains today with the grinder. It is so much faster than my other grinder. My other grinder has a few quirks that slow things down. Right now I have it clamped on the bench and have to set on a stool to use it. I'm going to redo my mount for both of my grinders. I'm keeping my old grinder for depth gauges.

The one chain I ground I had to do an "angle correction." I did check what angle it was on, but it maybe have been a 60° angle. After I got the chain ground to the correct angle, the cutters were off .080" side to side. That took some work to get them even. I can't imagine trying to file a chain like that.

My grinder is already getting dirty.

Un packed and mounted. Haven't tried it yet as it took over an hour just to get the wheel running true.

 

Also ordered a cbn wheel from Latvia for the depth gauges.

 

What was wrong with the wheel? Mine ran good. Sorry to hear that.

 

huskihl found out and I tried it too, use the taller chain stop, the one for 3/4" chain, holds down the chain better.

 

Thanks, I was going to try that. I was grinding a 3/8 chain and it would not go under the stop. I had to rock the chain side to side to get it under the stop.

Just the tolerance stacking of the motor shaft, hub and bore. Got it to .00015" tir. That's just the machinist in me. Also why I never remove them unless absolutely necessary.

 

I'll look into that also. Some other things that I need to address on it before I'll be satisfied with it. Mainly the vise mount swivel assembly that slides for the 10° useless point rise.

 

You don't use the vise tilt?

Wow. I can understand that. That's dialed in...

 

It helps put the 10° up angle on the cutter. Makes my chains sharp. I know you like tinkering and making things better.

 

Never. Don't want to get in a feather ruffle situation but..... I got my first 511a a long long time ago. Started doing the tilt then tried without it. I have done chains with half tilted half not and given people there sharpend chains back with some chains tilted and some not asking for feedback from them. My opinion is it's not worth the effort. The play in the slide causes more inconsistencies in regards to cutter length and angle. Just try it and make up your own mind. BTW the local sharpen everything shop by me doesn't tilt either.

 

Have you tried any chains without tilting ?

 

No sir...not yet.
