Chain Grinders

[Cobus]

Hey guys, I have a opportunity to buy a Bell industries K6 chain grinder in good condition and a silvey chain grinder in good condition. Guy told me to make an offer and I don’t have a clue as to what to offer for these. Something fair for him and I would be great. Any information would be good. Thank you.

Oooh, I’m digging the wrapped Husky and the box o’ stuff on the floor! Back on topic, both grinders appear to be square grinders, and last I heard new ones are over $1k, maybe even 3k. As such, if You can get them for a few hundred bucks, go for it! A fair price would probably be be $7-900 apiece, depending on how used they are.

The Silvey is Depth gauge grinder not a square grinder.

Zero. If you can file round, you can file square.

That’s fine if you cut firewood but for someone that production cuts timber a grinder is a must especially if you’re paid based on production.

For doing the depth gauges yes.

My bad, I heard Silvey and immediately thought square grinder.

Anything designed by a World Champion Powersaw Bucker has gotta be good.
