Simington square grinder

Who do you recommend for recoating?

ETA: found this one, any experience with the company above?

 

We use them at work. Great company...

 

I have never used them but they would appear to be a great choice. It's more common than you would think, just not the kind of thing that gets any attention.

 

Were both of those vids converting from round? Seemed like a lot of grinding. And have you ever rigged up compressed air to cool the cutter? I'm probably never going to own one, just curious.


Nice tool score Tom. It should keep your saws cutting like light sabers!

 

dont know jason like i said i didnt know dave did that until it was posted

 

theres alot of air coming from the motor
and yes we know your a slacker lol

 

Lol, not a whole lot of slacking anymore. 40 hour a week job, no more lay-offs. Have a bit of a hole to dig out of financially. Working on bikes was fun but didn't pay a lot.

I got efficient square filing so the only time I could really use a grinder would be hitting metal, which seems to happen milling. I'll get a detector for the next log.. I kind of enjoy having a file in my hands and a good tune on the radio. I burn about 6 cords per season and have been keeping my parents about the same, so I'm not going through lots of chains.

 

lol your still a slacker
hows the knee doing ?

 

Part of that could be that a swingarm has to grind across the top plate then it does the side.

 

Almost healed over. Week or 2 should do it. I'm itching to get after the CL wood close to me! Been a while.

 

Not sure about Shaun's video.
But mine was in the process of getting tuned and set up properly since it was new. So Dallas was approaching the wheel carefully while checking for tie strap clearance and tooth angle, etc.

 

Shaun, thanks for posting.

Not

I'm still too immature, if I got a new grinder, EVERYTHING else would come to an immediate HALT. Until I had set it up and ground a few chains !


The grey waxed wheel will be about the most forgiving of the blue/salmon and grey waxed that you listed.
It will roll a little slolly bomb of burnt wax and stone dust/grinding dust . Up on the top plate, but its nothing to worry about. Just take your time and chirp chirp along.
Have fun !!!

 

I have a coworker that wants to help me cut firewood after work. So as long as he wants to help, we are cutting wood.

 

Got the grinder mounted to the stand. I am fortunate to have a good buddy dall to help me get set up. He spent a few hours getting me squared away. Via pictures, texts and telephone calls, I would be nowhere without his help. The chain in hand looks better than I can take pictures.

And huskihl got to join the party and offer some wisdom

I am looking forward to tuning the chain to my needs.

 

Few cutters.

 

I have a tremendous amount of information to digest. Next step is to make a few adjustments, grind a chain test it, rinse-repeat. Stay tuned!

 

Sounds like fun to me!

 

Nice job Rope .
