Chain Sharpener

I have neen looking at cbn wheels. Still on the fence.

 

Go for it , Like night and day.
I debated myself and now ask why did I wait so long.
Yes a little pricy but the finish is great and no more dressing wheels and a shop full of wheel grit.

 

This was my hypothesis. That they heated the teeth.

 

Exactly , if you grind the worst tooth first then when you have a tooth that is not all banged up it takes an aggressive cut.
You really need to start with the best tooth and then work your way to the worst being careful not to grind too heavy generating heat. CBN wheel also does not heat as bad as a standard wheel.

 

Chud Jim, some Oregon chains call for that angle when sharpening. I don’t believe any Stihl does. It’s usually on the box or on the paper that comes in the box.

 

I'm running 33RS 66 and the book does call for 10° down.

Just got curious enough to look.

 

Hmm.. no wheel grit eh..

 

Hmm.
From a Stihl website:

Sharpening a Saw Chain - but how? Instruction | STIHL

Chaz is that a grinder guide or actual Stihl?

 

Super Jolly grinder guide

 

Let's see if this works right..





Hopefully you can read it.. 23 lines down on each page.

 

Hmm.. Paperwork in chain box does state 90°

Guess I'll reconfigure the grinder.
EDIT.. done
Glad you mentioned this.

 

If it's cuttin' good for you, I'd not touch it.

 

I use 10° down and it works great.
