Thanks Du-Hwane. That’s true. It’s fun to experiment with the different angles. I’m definitely still in the learning phase of everything, by a...
Thanks Jason. Like Dallas said, I think I’m close to where I need to be. Just a few tweaks here and there, and we’ll have a good set up. Been...
Ah, I see. Cool. Sounds like the newer one has much better adjustability then. By the way, I just ordered up an angle finder and a protractor....
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I figured marks like 1-10 or 1-5, something like that. Just to make it easy to change the setup. What’s the...
That’s kinda what I’ve been doing. I’m going to make a template, or something, that’s graded to make adjustments easier to record. I figured...
Sorry to have hijacked your thread. I hope you feel better soon, and get to use that grinder. We need some pics!
This is a tooth I ground the first day I got it. Can’t remember the settings, though. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
So dress the top plate “flatter” and the side plate “steeper”? I haven’t played much with the top plate dresser. Mostly with the side plate.
Here we go. This is exactly how it was set up for that last chain. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This last one was done with the holder all the way back, and the arm all the way down. Lemme’ go and take some pics. Hang on.
Good to know. Thanks for the tips Dallas. Once I get the angle finder I’ll be in touch again.
Same here. I put it all away and grab whatever is ready next time I go out. I’d say the top plate is at 22ish degrees. Guesstimate.
Ye Yeah, that one’s got too much lean, for sure. It’s been run different saws. I don’t have a loop for each particular saw. I see what you’re...
Here’s the chain I cut with yesterday. I guess it looks more like the first chain in my previous post. A little too much forward lean. It fed real...
Thanks Dallas. I’ll pick one of those up. I agree on the forward lean. Just a little too much. I ran one of the chains for just a couple of cuts...
Hey Dallas. I’m doing ok. How about you? I don’t know the exact angles yet. Need to get an angle finder. Just been eyeballing it so far. Any...
I’m following this one. I just got a 451C myself. Been playing with dressing angles and set up for a couple of weeks now.
If we’re looking at older saws, I’d have to say a Sachs-Dolmar 166 and a KMS-4 are high on my list. Others would be a Poulan Pro 655 BP, and the...
I’d change the top plate to what’s recommended for round chain. I think you’ll be surprised how quickly it’ll convert to round. The other option...
You can file it the same way you file everything else round. It’ll convert itself, pretty much. I usually go from round to square, but it’s the...
