Good point. I suppose we could mount a mirror somewhere. It becomes second nature after awhile, but that does not help a new buyer. Cost and wire routing may have something to do with it.Switch Placement
Another 'Oregon-if-you-are-listening' type suggestion: I would like to see the On/Off switch relocated so that it is easier to see. I usually do this by feel when grinding. Would be nice to have it up front, or on the side, where I could clearly see it, even with the grinder head in the full up position.

Still contemplating the DC-AC inverter idea. The chief sawyer says he wants his men to learn how to file sharpen cutters in the field at the work site the same way he does. He says they are all too lazy to learn and it drives him bonkers. And, he fears that they will then not be careful and hit the ground more often while bucking logs.
