So I got this sharpener for cheap, now I’m trying to get everything adjusted correctly. I found the manual for a Stihl USG grinder, but the only adjustment is on the chain vise. A friend of mine has a bunch of rocked chains, and I would like to be able to grind them, rather than spend forever with a file. Thanks, Charles
Looks a bit like an early Stihl HOS grinder . It’s similar to the USG , but doesn’t have the adjustment for moving the chain holder forward ,or backwards .
That grinder is fairly old . Maybe it was repainted? Measure the shaft that holds the wheels . If it’s 12 mm , HOS / USG wheels will work on it .
I found the wheel that was on it, it uses the same wheel as the HOS/USG grinders. I think it’s a HOS, as the only adjustment is on the top plate angle. I am going to go get some new wheels ordered, I don’t think this one will do much sharpening...lol. Thanks everyone for the help. Charles
I am assuming that you are going to use OE Stihl wheels , so ,One thing to be aware of with the Stihl wheels . They are thinner than ,say , tecomec type wheels . They don’t use the same round profile as other grinder wheels . If you don’t have the wheel profile gauge , the P/N is 5203 893 6307
