When spinning the rivets, I keep track of the position of the handle as I tighten it up, stop and check once or twice and when it is good, note the position then wind the rest of them up to about the same point.

there not the same the breaker punch tip brakes easy and the spinner not as good too
OK. They were the same a few years back so Oregon must have changed suppliers
I think they still are made by Tecomec/Precision, but remember Oregon sell two different versions too.
Older versions were made by someone up near Niagara (can't recall ATM) and seemed really nicely made, all cast, etc. but I believe they've sadly gone out of business now.
{edit} Remember now, it was Herr Manufacturing
The only problem I found was the key use to position the die portion of the breaker is not located correctly and I would break a punch nearly ever time I used it.

I made my own. I am an advanced metalworker with lots of time and a nice shop. I am building a chain sharpener at this minute...Bob
wow! nothing like tooting your own horn!
Spinning went really well on some 3/8" / 0.050 chain, but I had some trouble with 3/8" low profile chain. The links started to get tight before the head was fully spun over. Happened with a few links, using new pre-sets (Baileys).

What about 3/8"LP would make it any different than spinning any other size/pitch chain of the same gauge?
Philbert
I also don't think that the average spinner is really designed to cater for LP.
That's what I don't get - are the presets too long?
Haven't tried .325 yet - any issues with those?

I know others have commented on the need to knock down the wings of the anvil when spinning 3/8 LP, I haven't had to make any 3/8 LP loops yet but I have the chain on hand and I'm ready just in case.
Would it work any better to use the .325 anvil set when making up a 3/8 LP chain?

Have attached a picture below to explain things better. I've posted this somewhere on AS before, maybe even a couple of times?
