Grinding Wheels for chisel chain

[Marky Mark]

Now that I own a Silvey Swing arm I would like a little input on the types of grinding wheels . In the Madsens catalog there are a few that have caught my attention.

#M21 - Grey - vitrified - soft - dresses easily - forgiving - removes dull material quickly - doesn't hold its shape as well as some of the harder wheels

#M47 - salmon colored - vitrified - medium hard - good tooth finish - keeps shape well - doesn't remove dull material as fast as softer wheels


#M99 - blue - vitrified - hard - our only stone with ceramic grain blended in - lasts longer than the other wheels - keeps shape well - a treat to use

Also has anyone used the Depth Gauge, Gullet and Heel Grinder by Silvey. AKA HDG-6 There seems to be a void in my shop area and I think it might fit in.

Chain grinders are like shotguns and sheep "they never like to be alone"

Marky Mark,

I own a Silvey Razur Sharp II, and the HDG-6. I feel both these machines a worth every penny I paid for them.

On my Razur Sharp II, I have used both the #M50 White, and the #M99 Blue grinding wheels with excellent results.

#M50 White

- Removes dull material more quickly than the #M99.
- Dresses easily.
- Finishes out nicely.
- Easier on the eyes. A person can more easily align the corner of the grinding wheel, to the cutting corner of the tooth.
- The #M50 grinding wheel wears out of shape quicker than the #M99 grinding wheel. More frequent dressing is required.

#M99 Blue

- Does not remove dull material quite as fast a the #M50.
- Dresses easily.
- Finishes out very well. The ground surfaces almost appear to have a honed finish, very smooth, and very precise.
- The #M99 grinding wheel holds it's shape very well.
- The #M99 grinding wheel, has the ability to grind very precise, and very crisp cutting corners.
- The #M99 grinding wheel, has the ability to create a truely razor sharp saw chain, IMO.

The Silvey HDG-6 I own is one incredable machine. I never thought a person could set depth gauges & remove gullets with such speed, accuracy, and efficiency. The Silvey HDG-6 is fairly simple to set up, and operate. The HDG-6 is truely a time, and labor saver IMO.

I hope this will help you in your decision.

Respectfully,

Nicholas

Hi Mark

I`ve had good luck with the salmon colored wheel but recently picked up a white one at the suggestion of a Silvey rep. Can`t say that I`ve tried it yet. The blue one sounds good.

Hi Barky, boy, you sure know how to make lemonade when you're served lemons, but you can thank Mike and I for sending you that club, look how far you have come as a result! I think you owe us one there dude, so if you ain't got it, you're gettin' it!

P.S. Hi Russ, my inbox shows full, but there are only 3 messages in it, I cant figure it out, has anyone else had this problem? I dont think franksplanks @ yahoo.ca works either, I was also told today that my auctions can't be viewed. Maybe I have a virus.

I like Blue and White stones and if that dont doit I use Never-Dull compound along with CRC screw-loose lube.

Steve here...
Mark I like the blue stone, really makes a nice crisp corner. I also found the multi point or cluster diamond dresser makes a smoother crisper corner on the stone apposed to the single point dresser.

Hey John if you want to move ahead you have to pay a price. You begin to learn like everything else. Along the way you get burned too, but move on and know you’ll always be able to say you tried all avenues. I think there’s an old quote “Feathering the Nest” I can say I have given almost all the saw builders a chance here. The lesson has been learned. Sell off the Clubs and and have a pro modify your saws.

Play with all your toys and you get a feel for them.

I am going to ask Full Moon Cahoon to work one of the three 088's your bringing down for me.The deal is sealed for the 9 new 090's I have ordered when I go to South America this Jan. With a price of 950 US that's a steal. I dialed up 4 different wheels for the grinder and sprung for the Depth Gauge, Gullet and Heel Grinder.

 

[Gypo Logger]

Hi Mark, yes, "feathering the nest" pays big dividends, and just to show you how well it works, would you kindly trade me one of those 090's for an 088? Thanks in advance Barky.
For those that dont know what FTN means, it's when you do something for someone out of the kindness of your heart without expecting anything back. FTN doesn't always win you the day, but it works in very profound and suttle ways. FTN, like LIM- "Less is More", is an ever more difficult concept to grasp.
Remember, those that help others are the most successful people. FTN and LIM are a dirivative of Good Samaratanship. So lets all give a big group hug, and do something nice for someone today.

It is funny how poeple are just in it for them selves. I have recieved 6 emails about the 090's. One guy wanted to know if he could buy 2 and do they have the manuals. Like I am going to let them go for 950. It just amazes me what people will do for a buck.

Look at ebay, people just buy up clubs clean them up, toss in some junky used parts they have and want top change. Not to mention it was used for only 3 months.

I will trade the 090 for the 088. What a deal. FTN

 

[kravis]

Ya, me too.

 

[porkuface]

If youll do one for my cousin the I think you should do one for me too.

 

[Jesus]

My father can get me as many 090's as I want for nothing. I don't have to buy or trade for anything.

 

[Reanimator]

Finally. I now know who's number one around here, Jesus.

 

[Gypo Logger]

That's not fair, Ginger is mine, I want her back. Fish is that you- Dennis G? That way if Barky trades an 088 for an 090 to Ginger, then I'll have two- double FTN,

WoW! Must be everybodies getting rained out today with all the "personalities" replying to this thread suddenly.

[Marky Mark]

I guess I can't say no to Jesus, Ginger also. She is just so cute and if I remember right didn't she get it on with Pink. Kravis shot the film and it shot right up to number one on the charts in PornWood.
