Arboristsite has cost me $$$

[zogger]

Bought two (2) grinders I didn't need from fellow A.S. members this week. One is an 'upgrade' to the newer style Italian, self-centering vise. The other, a square grinder, just to play with/learn on.

Oh well, it's all good stuff that keeps it's value, and keeps me out of bars . . . (right?)

Square grinder huh?

Where you want me to drop the "practice" chains off?

I showed Philbert a fast chain this last weeknd.. Figured I'd give him some ideas...
He can try them with his square grinder...

Zog, follow the link to BobL's thread to see the chainsaw application for the DAF. Also works as a general shop tool.

Square grinder is a 'project'. Will take some love and attention to get it up and running. Then some practice to figure it out and develop some skill with it. Will be happy to run some chains for friends while I'm playing with it.

All BS aside you won't find a better site with more information then this one.

The reason I joined was because AS kept coming up on ALL my google searches, and it always seemed to have the best information.

 

[Saddle Mander]

But I will say that 3 weeks ago I didn't even know what an MS362 was. And now..... I MUST HAVE ONE!!!!

Just wait a couple more days, and you'll get a 562xp instead...

I came here a few years ago lookin for info on a wood splitter...

Then caught some kind of chainsaw disease!

Must of stayed too long? :msp_mellow:

synopsis: As the cutters wear short, lower depth gauges even more, and keeping the ramp shape is important...

Not quite. According to BobL, it is the angle between the cutter edge and the top of the depth gauge that determines optimum cutting efficiency, rather than a fixed offset. Similar in some ways to the File-O-Plate approach. Your synopsis is close from a quick and dirty standpoint, but the angle thing lets you predict it at the filing bench, rather than from a trial and error approach in the field.

It's a good read if you are into sharpening.

Don't know if you can blame it on Arboristsite or not but I just walked in the door with a new playmate for my Husky Rancher. Got what I thought was a decent deal on a Sthil MS250 in near new condition off of Craigs list. Is this how CAD starts? Should I seek treatment immediately? All BS aside you won't find a better site with more information then this one.

yup!! your now caught,.. sorry for you.........:smile2::smile2:

Yep, read it, angles, etc. mark I eyeballs here for angle and shape. I might make a jig sometime, but.....

If I had a Husky dealer within walking distance and closest Stihl dealer was 30 minutes away, I would agree with you.

Yes... A lot of good cutter info is rolling around these guys that mill's heads...
John T told me he liked a 6 degree angle of cutter engagement...
It got me to thinkin'.. Then BobL started talkin' about cutter wobble...

Yo philbert!

Try out your new gadget on your powersharp chains, measure a new one if you have it, then a used and powersharpened one. Would be interesting to see the changes as it self sharpens.
